Hey guys! Looking to do racedeck in my garage, but it’s two slabs of concrete with about a 1 inch sloped connection. Maybe 1 inch rise over a 6 inch run. Are these tiles flexible enough to bend to this? Would a heat gun help mold them in place? Thanks!

The concrete around the post in my garage is probably more than 1 inch above the rest of the slab. I fitted the racedeck tile closely around the post and the tile flexes a little if you walk on it. Hardly noticeable, at least to me and that was installed probably 15 years ago and hasn't changed in all that time. I would not worry about it.

1" over 6" is a bit of a rise. I would install it with the understanding that you may need to make some adjustments. Let me know what tile you are looking at and I am happy to get you a quote

I have a 4 in lip on both sides of my floor that runs about 15 feet in the sloping part of the garage. The consultant from Race Deck
suggested running full tiles between the slopes and painting the 1.5-inch edge on either side of the full tiles the same color as the
tile on the outside edge. She said it would not be that noticeable and a lot less work.
