So I realized that I was posting in the Costco garage floor tile post with this deal so I might as well put it here.

Each tile is 1 sqft each and come in Grey or Black. Mix and match for a cool pattern.
I have RaceDeck tiles in my shop for going on 10 years now and they still look great!
There are other tiles also on sale -

There is not much I can say I like about these floor besides it was pretty when I installed it, but have a whole plethora of dislikes.
1. Underneath the tiles are hollow and spiders LOVE IT. I was having a big spider issue in my garage that I couldn't solve and this is why. So many nests under the tiles.
2. You can't put any focused weight for any extended period of time. Like castors, or a jack stand. It will deform the floor permanently.
3. It stains from rust and is amazingly hard to clean out the stains. It's amazingly hard to clean up dust too. I cut some wood and it took hands and knees scrubbing to get all of the dust up from this floor.
4. As tight as each connection is, if you spill oil or something, some of it is going to sit in the crack and make its way to the floor underneath.
5. Expansion and contraction is a pain. during the summer the floor buckles, a lot. Yes, I have plenty of room for expansion and contraction, but do you know what else I have? Stuff sitting on it, because you know... It's a floor. All my heavy racks are on the concrete too with room for expansion but you can't keep everything off of it.
6. It's noisy. Clack clack clack as I walk around my garage. Super annoying.
7. There is no direct sunlight but the color has definitely faded over the years.
8. I got into welding, and you can't weld on these, or do anything hot above them, so just add this to the list now of why I regret spending thousands on these and not the newish epoxy resin.
How do you clean under them once installed?

RaceDeck as a cool planner tool for design and amounts needed. Tiles easily cut with a circular saw with a carbide blade.
They simply snap together and off you go.
You need to leave a 1/2' or so of space around the perimeter for expansion and contraction as they are a floating floor.
Mine are solid with the exception of the seams around the tiles. Dirt does fall in there but it space is tiny. I just use my good shop vac (6.5hp Ridgid) once in a while. No problems.
You do the same thing with the open tiles. It isn't hard but it takes some time. I have a 12" wide floor sweeping attachment. Just some kind of multi purpose floor attachment. Easy peasy.

Great price for this though!

Ok, just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me. Won't load on phone or computer. I'll keep trying. Thanks!
