Rubber coin garage floor?

I have the coin mat covering that comes in 10ft X 24ft mats. They do creep around from driving in and out of the garage and they also bunch up when rolling heavy tool carts around. The mats can be glued down but I elected not to glue them down. The mats I have are made from PVC and will stain from tires. The mats are ok but I wouldn't buy them again. I would like to go with epoxy for my next covering.

I thought about the Race Deck and etc. but I don't think I'd like the sound and feel of the plastic tile when walking on them. People have commented about the plastic clacking sound when walking on the tiles and but some people have solved the issue by placing some kind of landscaping cloth or something under the tile to kill the noise. One positive thing about the coin mat is that is is quiet to walk on. I do have to say the cons out weight the pros on the coin mat if you do work on your cars in your garage. Other issues are that jack stands will cut into the mats and welding sparks will burn holes. I'd say the mats are good if you just primarily park your car and don't do a lot work in the garage to damage the mats.

I have a large shop for work. This garage is for the daily drivers, the wifes car may go in and out several times a day bring in dirt, rain, etc. This garage serves as an entrance to our house that most people use so I want something nice. The epoxy has worn off in the tire tracks and around the center drain. Before I thought of the rubber coin I was looking at the Race Deck Free Flow, this would let the water fall threw and get to the drain and the a couple times a year I would shop vac it to get most of the dirt out. The product you have is what I'm looking at and I would cover entire floor and may glue it down.

If you want a real SHARP looking floor that will enable water to flow through to your floor drain yet provide an attractive solid surface in other areas you may want to consider the flooring options found at www.jnkproducts.com/garage-floor-tile-index.htm
There you will find an assortment of tile options such as their Motor Mat (Daytona) that you can integrate ventilated tiles (for your drain area) with solid surface tiles in a variety of colors. They will send you samples upon request. I'd suggest getting samples first, that no matter what or whos flooring you choose so that you get a product you will like for many years to come. They have a product known as Auto Deck that comes in fourteen differnt colors and a tinsel stregnth of approximately 27,000 psi.
