Epoxy was my initial thought, but it is a lot of prep work, cleaning the concrete (which would have been minimal because the house is only 7 months old), acid etching the concrete, laying down the color coat, then the clear sealer, and finally waiting 48 to 72 hours for it to dry completely.

The vertical part is a 6" high decorative base board which was used throughout the house.

I love the super clean look that the storage cabinets afford.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I installed my Modutile in my garage last weekend. The cost was $1.98 per square foot with free shipping and no tax since it came from out of state (Texas). Simple to lay down and install. I plotted my design on the web and downloaded that to my PC so I could print it out.
I went with red, black and gray tiles. I was going to do the stock checkered flag look with white and black tiles, but thought the white would show the dirt too much, so I went with the gray and black.
Because I know you guys just LOVE pics....... here they are. In the initial four pics the floor was not complete. I had not finished installing the red tiles along the wall. The last run of tile along each wall had to be cut.
Epoxy was my initial thought, but it is a lot of prep work, cleaning the concrete (which would have been minimal because the house is only 7 months old), acid etching the concrete, laying down the color coat, then the clear sealer, and finally waiting 48 to 72 hours for it to dry completely. I am handy enough to do all of that but the drying time was the killer.
Consequently, I went with tile.
Yes, guilty as charged. It hasn't been washed in a month. I hurt my back pretty badly a month ago (I think I hurt it cleaning the wheels) and could hardly get out of bed the next day. The back is much better but have spent a lot of time the last two weekends organizing the garage and getting ready for the tile.
Beside that, I decided to be less **** about this one compared to the Lapis Blue beauty a I had a few years ago. Meteor Gray is great for hiding a lot of the dirt. The wheels, however, do not hide brake dust very well. Right now my wheels look like they are gunmetal gray instead of silver, because of the brake dust. I will wash the car this weekend.
Mark, Pete,
Thanks for the kind words.
On a side note, my wife encouraged me to do this. She also suggested I buy some better tool chests and maybe a storage cabinet. I got the Sears Craftsman series with the bearing drawers in red & black, which looks good with the floor tile. I'll see if I can get a few pics of them later this week.
Casters roll very well. The little raised "coin" design actually helps to keep the cabinets with casters from rolling away if you happen to bump them, but a little nudge gets them moving when you want them to move.
Thanks! I like the wheels but the corners where the spokes meet the outer rim are a PITA to clean. I am thinking of having them painted either gun metal gray or Meteor Gray to match the body paint.
Do it..... DO it!........ DO IT!
It looks awesome. I would love to do that to my garage floor but the house is 50 years old so the cement flooring has cracks and some broken spots. Can this stuff go right over it or do i have to repair the floor first?
You can lay it right over the cracked garage floor.
However, if the "broken spots" are indented or uneven by more that 1/8 inch, I would think you would want to patch or fill in the indentations. If you don't, I think the tiles may crack because they don't have complete support under the entire tile.
I am not a structural engineer, nor did I ever play one on TV, so this is just a my opinion and is not intended to be a recommendation about the condition of your garage floor.
Looks fantastic Tim! I did the same thing a few years back. I went with Race Deck and absolutely love it. Glad I didn't go the epoxy route as this has much more "personality" to it. Just back the cars out every couple weeks, sweep, mop, and she shines
Here's a pic of mine.....
Wow! Nice Tim (And Dell)! I did the tile floor a few years ago, covering a horrible peeling concrete mess. Now I get compliments on the floor all the time (as you will I'm sure)!
Your wife suggested you get MORE tool cabinets? She is AWESOME!
Looks great Tim! Seems like everyone has the same taste in colour combinations. Here's mine; I also went with a more affordable version of the Race Deck concept. Local Toronto company (
www.fastflor.com
) where I could fit everything I needed in the back of my FX35. Looks great after 3 years and only requires a quick mop after the winter to get rid of the dirt.

Great job Tim! I guess this means your not coming back to Texas...you know floor tiles are a pretty strong statement to stability! Sorry to hear about your back.
That's a problem. I had the race deck and poked holes in the tiles with floor jacks. Have to place a piece of plywood under any jacking devices. I got tired of that and gave them to a buddy for motorcycle storage.
Looks awesome! Now u got me thinking about this myself. I have a G35 that leaks a bit of oil and was wondering how easy it is to clean up oil spills from this floor.
Nice, I'll have to get supplier info from you and check out the company that Dell mentioned also. Once i have cabinets installed in the garage it would be nice to do this.
OP: Is that white angle iron running around the perimeter of your garage about 4 inches off the floor? It appears to be level with the house floor, does it serve a structural purpose?
Good question. I am not sure using a floor jack. I would probably opt to put a 1' x 1' piece of plywood under the jack, just to spread the weight over a larger area.
No, that is not angle iron.
The lower part is, I believe (I did not see the house in the construction stage), a pressure treated 2" x 8" which is the base plate of the exterior wall. The base plate sits on top of brick. The wall studs are 2" x 4" so the horizontal painted part you see is approximately 2.75" of the base plate that is not covered by the wall. The vertical part is a 6" high decorative base board which was used throughout the house. The builder painted the exposed base plate to match the base board.
Let me know if this does not make any sense. If not, I'll try to get a close up pic tomorrow.
That's cool. I did the epoxy thing a few years ago and for all the prep work and application find that it's lifting. I'll probably go with this solution.
Here is the answer I gave in post #9, which you probably missed........

Holy Crap! Has anybody ever set foot in that garage! Where are the beer cans? The pics of "the ring" b etc....
Very nice!! I had to admit that my shop looks a little like the polar opposite of that!
Interesting, the shape looking like something else.
I looked at my garage this evening and realized that I can't get a lift in there, as there's a big air duct that runs right where the rear of the car would be.
WOW Ferdinand, your garage looks excellent.
I love the super clean look that the storage cabinets afford. You throw all of the misc. crap in there and it is neatly tucked away out of sight. I've had my eye on these for a while now, unfortunately I don't think Santa could fit these on his sleigh.
thanks.... I highly recommend the option of getting the cabinets off the floor, you gain valuable space and can save your back of getting stuff off the shelf. I agree with the misc crap.... those cabinets are full of it to the tilt.
