Not wanting to go the epoxy flooring route, does anyone know a good quality and easy to piece together garage flooring that can handle abuse such as from floor jacks? It has to look easy on the eyes too so color options are always nice.

Racedeck looks great but I came across a blog post where an owner left some nice permanente divots in the racedeck flooring from floorjack usage.

What are your experiences?

if you do manage to damage a piece of your RaceDeck floor, we'd happily send you a replacement tile at no charge to pop right in like new ( along with giving you tips on how to avoid that particular damage in the future). Really almost any floor will get damaged ( chipped, scratched, et) with items like cheaper jack stands that have the thin angle iron legs, very small hard edge caster wheels with extreme weight, etc. ).. we offer Jack stand plates or as above stated, simple piece of thin plywood does the trick on cheap stands. :D

Good to know there is a fancier alternative to a simple piece of plywood. Oh yeah, I also appreciate stellar customer service but I hope you don't regularly replace the same customer's damaged piece of racedeck flooring as that's just absurd and abuse on the customer's end.

I have had Racedeck in my garage well over 10 years now, has to be close to 15 by now. While I don't use floorjacks that much because I have a lift, the only real damage to my floor has been from Welding or Plasma cutting and that is to be expected. Racedeck has offered many times to replace the damaged tiles but I refused since I will just re-damage them someday. The floor looks GREAT after all these years when I can see it under all the junk :)

Best part was when I moved from one house to another, I just picked up the tiles and moved them with me, try that with a epoxy floor :)

We do have the Jackstand plates, which are 12"x12" aluminum treadplates. As for replacing a damaged tile from 'Abuse'.. anybody can make a mistake and if someone with a new RaceDeck floor damages a tile due to something outside of product warranty and contacts us, will work with them to explain what most likely happened, offer a remedy ( as above) and send them a tile to pop in their new RD floor...

Well my floorjack did it as I lower my the car, the caster dented and deformed my tile now it has a puff in the floor.

Is there a way to replace one tile in the middle of the floor without taking up from the edge?

Where would one get some of these plates? I know the last time I used my jack stands I dented my floor :( ... But that's why I bought spare tiles! :)

I dented a few tiles with jack stands and a jack too, my temporary fix was removing them and using a heat gun to "push" the dent out. I'm interested also in the jack stand plates from RaceDeck so I don't have to do that again.

Have you got any pictures? I do alot of steel fabrication and am curious how bad it gets.

You can PM me if you don't want to post them.

Thanks
