Have a 10 year old 30x24 garage with 2 daily drivers on 1 side and a 4 post lift with a 1970 Camaro on the 3rd bay. I would like to get some opinions on which flooring would be better. By 2 suvs bring in lots of snow and salt in the winter so I would need a draining tile like Ribtrax. Wondering members experiences with a professional epoxy vs Swisstrax. Thanks in advance.

To me, it seems epoxy would be easier to clean, but swisstrax have better design options and are easier to install. I'd like to hear other opinions as well.

The flooring doesn't have any cracks. However there are some stains in the floor from oil and such.

Big price differences between tiles and epoxy, but tiles easier to install. Epoxy is easier to keep clean and snow/mush/salt can be easily swept or squeegeed out and hosed off at any time. The open tiles can collect everything underneath. Lots of satisfied users though of open tiles.

Why not RaceDeck? It is a good bit cheaper than Swisstrax. At around $2.50/sq. ft. no epoxy can touch it for price. In order to get a proper epoxy job on an older slab that needs extensive prep in the way of grinding and degreasing, you are easily over $5.00/sq. ft.

I got a rough price from 2 epoxy companies $2600-$3700. The reason I would consider Swisstrax over the others is they are a customer of mine. Just not sure with winter slop if tiles are a good fit.
