Swisstrax sales?

I just started looking at flooring options and Swisstrax popped up at the top of my list. I noticed they have 15% off kits for a short time.
The kits would cover my space, but not exactly the color options I would chose.
Does anyone know if they discount site wide? Maybe over Labor day weekend?

Also, any feedback on using their tiles in a woodshop setting? One side of my garage usually has a car and automotive related tools. The other half is all woodworking machines, assembly tables, etc. I also move the car out some times when I need the whole space for larger projects.
Looks like the smooth version might be my best option.

Thanks in advance!

I was looking at their Ribtrax product.
Looks like Racedeck has a comparable product in the Free-Flow XLC(kinda leaning more towards this option).
At first, I though the Ribtrax smooth, but after looking at more examples I don't think I'd like the flat look.
The 3/4" thick industrial style seems like it would hold up well with heavy woodworking machines.
And the free flow would be nice for those wet or snowy days on the car side of the garage.
I think I'd stick with one product throughout rather than combining different styles.

Either product will withstand much more weight than you think. For example, RaceDeck is rated for rolling weights up to 80,000 lbs. As long as the equipment you place on the tile has a flat footprint of close to one square inch or greater, you will be fine with most any interlocking tile you choose.

I went with the Swisstrax smooth and absolutely love the look. I was actually admiring it a couple days ago and thinking, "I'm sure glad I went with this understated appearance." The Ribtrax made my eyes vibrate too much.

Washing the cars in the garage is just fantastic with how the water and bubbles just disappear.

The FreeFlow XLC is an awesome product for snowy climates. Great slip resistance and superior drainage... I have this in my own garage as well up here in the mountains of Utah

Thanks for all the feedback! I ended up ordering the FreeFlow XLC.
Looking forward to cleaning up my shop and getting it installed!
