I have been renovating my garage (slowly but surely) and recently installed RaceDeck flooring. I was dissatisfied with the result of using an epoxy floor kit. I used an underlayment that has a moisture barrier, after reading several articles about noise reduction. The floor is beautiful and the acoustics in the garage improved.
I maintained a 1/4" to 1/2" space around the perimeter during the installation. After a few weeks, there was a slight buckling and I needed to trim the tiles along one wall and the bump-out. I did notice that a 1/8" to a 1/4" inch of underlayment was showing at the garage doors. This is an area that I had trimmed after installation.
It appears as though the floor had moved at an angle. The floor only has a light weight cabinet on it. In addition, only one car has been pulling in and out of the garage over the past three weeks -- my car is parked at my second garage.....the airport!
Is it possible that after having a tool box, a second car, (substantial weight) on the floor, the movement will stop? Or is the problem the underlayment and the tile will continue to pull regardless, causing splits?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
