MrLizard Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Anyone have any experience of this type of flooring, i was hoping to do out the garage in some tile effect, the people at http://dynotile.co.uk/ state that you can jack a car on the floor or a van and easy to fit etc.... any reason i shouldnt make my garage look like a giant chess board rather than breathing in dust each time i open the door???

Chris`I Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I looked at them before, but decided it was too expensive. Seems pretty good stuff, try places like Detailing World and Piston Heads to see if there are any reviews of it. Race Deck is used a lot in the States and gets good reviews, I think this is pretty much the same stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 pretty sure Costco do something very similar and most likely cheaper to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Costco do something for garage flooring but subject to how big your garage is dont bother - just get some PVA glue - mix with some warm water and seal the floor ( I guess its concrete?) then go to Wicks and get some garage floor paint - they do other colours rather than red - and seal the floor with it - its good stuff but evil vapours off it so be carefull! When you want to jack up a car just put some ply down first to rest the jack on - its easy and cheap! Hope this helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my first idea, however ive been advised it takes a few layers to do it properly and 5 days to dry, i cant have the car outside for 5 days!!! thanks for the advice tho m8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with it - other option is a self levelling compound expoxy floor leveller you use to seal and level flooring prior to gluing wood flooring over hard floors? Friend has used it - he says the finish is superb - but that will kill your lungs if anything will!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 My Dad and I painted the walls and floor in his double garage in '99 when they (and me and that point) moved in. Still looks tip top and that includes having a big heavy car on one side year round. I have the costco cushioned flooring in mine. It's nice stuff. Looks good and my motorbike sits on paddock stands on it. It wasn't expensive either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTO EXPRESS Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 one of my customers has had this flooring fitted to his workshop (car & van repairs) all i can say its brillant. easy to keep clean, non slip. very hard wearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
