It's time to find a better solution to my garage flooring- over the years we have used epoxy paint to maintain a clean concrete floor for my vehicles. We have about 600 square feet and don't want to spend tons of money, but would like to find a longer-term solution.

Any recommendations? Thanks.[img]data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7[/img]

 

What do you consider "longer-term"? My epoxy paint has been on for over 20 years, I haven't found a better solution.

 

I’ve had plastic tiles down in my garage for probably 10 years and couldn’t be more pleased with it.
It’s held up really well.




Where my Wife parks has “drain tiles” so that when the snow melts off the water simply drains into and under the tiles then out the garage.
The rest of the garage has solid tiles.

About 3-4 times a year I pull up the perimeter of the drain tile area and simple pull the entire floor area as a whole assembly out of the garage.
Then using my leaf blower; blow off the concrete and then pull the drain tile assembly back in the garage and tap the perimeter back down.

The whole process of cleaning under the drain tiles takes about 30 minutes.
Other than that I just mop the entire floor down once a month or so.

I’ve got about a 600 sq/ft garage and I believe I paid about $1 a sq/ft for the flooring.
I did also purchase about 15% of extra tiles for future replacement but over the past 10 years I don’t think I’ve replaced more than 2-3 tiles and those were drain tiles.

The product I have is “Xtreme Garage” .
I don’t know if that product is still available but there are similar products out there.

 

yeah, it's about 4 times that cost now....

been thinking about doing the same for some time now.

 

 

@Bobjv I also didn't get any good solution about this

 

has anyone used that really hard compressed rubber matting like you have on the floor of gyms? seems you can get that for a fairly decent price from your local lowe's...

 

1) they don't give away that rubber matting
2) I suspect the matting would develop compression spots where heavy items and vehicles rest
3) with zero circulation under the mats, I imagine a gamey mess would develop under the mats with rain & snow runoff

 

Mines going on 5 years and still looks new. Easy to clcean.

 

I tried the epoxy flooring and had decent luck with it but only got 5 years out of it. Went to a modular interlocking plastic tile and I like the look and durability and they work good for draining when the cars coming in with snow.

Down side is the cost but there are not too many cheaper choices for a "long term fix"
