RaceDeck

[Michal]

I have a standard 2 car garage and am considering RaceDeck. How is RaceDeck REVolution different? Is the metal RaceDeck much more expensive and will it hold up (like scratches and dents)? Is there a way to get samples?

Thanks,

Go with the RaceDeck, you won't regret it. RaceDeck REVolution is thicker and has more locking mechanisms. It is geared more towards commercial installations. It won't hurt to put the REVolution in a home garage, but it is way overkill. The REVolution has only been out a couple months so everything you read here about RaceDeck is based on the standard RaceDeck not the REVolution.

I have never priced the metal RaceDeck, but I think it is considerably more expensive. As far as I know the metal really is just designed for small accent areas, not to be used as a complete floor. Most likely it will scratch and dent worse than the plastic.

I was skeptical of the plastic tile based on my experience with a cheap chinese made tile from Sam's Club. RaceDeck is far better quality. Just call them they will send samples, once you see them it will be clear RaceDeck is the right choice.

I am awaiting a deal from Jorgen. Once he gets back to me, it's going down.

HI Guys,
I've been agonizing over flooring for a year or so since completing my garage, I just can't bring myself to do epoxy so settled on racedeck long ago (a bonus is it's US made!)

So looking for advice. garage is 21x23 ft. My plan is red/white checkerboard with a graphite border using racedeck xl (18"). I'd originally thought 12" but the checkerboard seems too overpowering in that size.

Thoughts from anyone on this?

Chris,

Quite a few of us here just used 4 squares of each color to form 4 X 4 foot squares. Agree, the single tiles can look pretty busy. As far as white goes, even the nice folks at RaceDeck will caution you about using it, tougher to keep clean. Oh it cleans up just great I'm told but you will notice it sooner. I went with the alloy instead of the white.

Hi Drew,
Thanks very much! IT good to get input from someone who's put it down, I guess I'm a bit worried that alloy might be too dark? But you're happy with yours?

The alloy will definitely brighten up your garage, it has a metalic pearlesant to it.

I wanted to go with white also and probably could have gotten away with it since my garage is not used by my daily drivers. But others have commented that white just shows dirt quickly so the next lightest color was the alloy. I am happy with it but do think the white would have been brighter. You might want to think about working one of the bright colors in as an accent, I used the red as a border and really like it. Search on my name and you should see my post on the install. There are many others here as well that you can also check out. Be sure to share some pics when you are done!
