Racedeck has landed!

[69bigblok]

The crown jewel has arrived! Can't wait to put it down this weekend.

 

[RaceDeck1]

Thank you for choosing RaceDeck! I hope you get a chance to post a few pictures for us. Can't wait to check it out.

 

[69bigblok]

Thanks! No shortage of pictures from me usually ha!

This is my second Racedeck purchase so I'm a believer. Thanks for the great service and pricing! Shauna was great to work with.

 

[RaceDeck1]

Thank you for the kind words. I'll let Shauna know you said that.

What kind of cabinets are those?New age?

 

[93TOY]

Where are you located?! If I come over can we start now!? I can't wait to see the results!

 

[69bigblok]

I posted this over in my build thread but here are some pics! Couldn't help tearing into boxes and after 20 minutes and my boys helping we had a lot down. This going to look so freaking good. I keep going out and flipping on the lights. The red is my favorite. It looks so good in person. I bet if I keep at it each night I might not have much left to lay down on Saturday!

I've had regular racedeck before but the freeflow is just off the chart. Before when I looked at my garage I thought "yeah looks pretty good". After putting this down I was like holy sh%$ttt!!

What kind of cabinets are those?New age?

They are actually Home Depot Husky cabinets. I removed the logos though. I looked at new age (actually I have one in the pic that I painted black). They were much more expensive and the first one I ordered to test out was beat to death and way out of wack so I was not impressed.

Where are you located?! If I come over can we start now!? I can't wait to see the results!

Ha ha now that is a plan! Cold beer is ready too.

 

[RaceDeck1]

Thank you for sharing the photos! Your floors looks great so far, look forward to seeing it finished!

Installation really is a SNAP!

 

[69bigblok]

Just can't stop putting it down! I won't have any left to do this weekend. My oldest son said "this snaplock company really makes things easy!"

More progress photos...

 

[RaceDeck1]

Great job! It's coming along nicely

 

[93TOY]

Loving it! That looks GREAT!!!!

 

[JbankO]

Awesome floor...I'm about to purchase the same floor/design once our house is done in September. Looks great!

 

[69bigblok]

Made some great headway today but gave out before I could finish it all. Just need to move the base cabinets out and do my final cuts and also some small cuts along the walls. Really love the look though.

 

[Trey T]

WOW, impressive. Awesome to get your kids involved!

 

[PT Doc]

Nice.

Re: Racedeck has landed! (Before-After Pics!)

Here are some before after photos. Got the last racedeck pieces down yesterday. Didn't realize how dramatic the makeover was until I compared to the original pics...

 

[MSG C5]

Great pics! The floor and garage make-over looks great!

I am currently working my project and planning my floor. I'm also pretty much sold on the free-flow design, not just for the design element, but also for the 3D look it provides. I have a couple of sample tiles being sent to me.

How much cutting and trimming did you need to do?

 

[Gymbow]

Looks great!! Out of curiosity, besides the black & red border colors, is the other color graphite?

That is the black, not graphite in this floor. the pattern reflects the light differently throughout giving it the effect you see

 

[trevor_s]

Man I love that RaceDeck Red paired with the black. Great look. Watched the recent Barrett Jackson auction from Reno and it seemed like RaceDeck (or equivalent) was everywhere!

First of all, beautiful! that floor and camaro!! I really like that freeflow design.

Having never seen the freeflow in person, how do you keep it clean? My garage houses my wife's daily driver and I am sure she will track in some dirt and salt and such. Also, I have a boat with a tandem axle trailer that I have to back in and turn. How does the floor stand up to turning the wheels on it?

Here is my limited experience: my mostly FreeFlow floor has been in place a few weeks. I have driven my tractor onto it for some maintenance, and turning the tires on this heavy machine did zero damage to the tiles. Ditto using the floor jack to switch some tires on my wife's SUV. I have six golden retrievers who tracked around a bunch of muddy paws during a rainy day. Next day, I took a garden hose and the dirt washed right off the tiles. I used my table saw, got sawdust down in and under the tiles, my shop vacuum cleaned it up. I had some leaves and grass clippings get tracked in, and I tried just using a broom to sweep them out, worked just fine.

After that rain, I had the tractor back in for something and lowered the bucket onto the tiles and left it overnight. I intended to put some 2 x blocks beneath the bucket, which I always do on concrete [moisture] but forgot to. Next morning, I had some rust stains on a few of the tiles. I didn't have any cleaning agent handy, so I took a stiff brush and the hose again and scrubbed the tiles. Now, that chore took some effort to get the rust off the tile, but it did work. It did not "flush" right off with water, but with the stiff brush, I managed to clean it up.

So far, so good. My tractor is pretty heavy and has farm-type tires on it. If turning those tires on the tiles does no damage, I don't have anything around here that is gonna damage them, at least not from tires or heavy vehicles. I did need to use some jack stands on my pickup, and I put down a couple pieces of scrap plywood beneath the jacks to prevent damage to the tiles. I put nothing beneath the floor jack, no damage.

Racedeck looks awesome and man what a ride sittin there. Congrats on a well gone garage.

Awesome job on this design! I was going to do epoxy because of the noise I have heard with some other brand solid tiles, but I'm going to order a few boxes of this and try it out.
