Default Trax flooring

I tried a similar item to the Trax flooring on my garage in NW Georgia. The floor had been painted several times before I bought the house and looked really ugly. The owner before me had put a vinly or rubber mat down that was terrible. The Trax type flooring I used was great. It was down for the last three years I owned the house. The only poroblem I had was it crept. About every three months I had to take off the row at the far end of the garage and move it to the front end. Also it crept diagonally. The car we used the most made it move gradually so that it was at a diagonal angle in the garage. To correct was easy enough. I just moved everything off the floor of the garage and kicked at one corner several times and it would eventually straighten itself. You can't put them tight to either wall for the above reasons. The Trax system may not do this, but I wouldn't count on that. Leave enough room all the way around for creeping. The drawback to that is the flooring is not wall to wall, but on my old garage floor it looked so much better I didn't care.

I hope this helps.

A previous post complained about buckling and moisture. I didn't have the Trax system, and I never had that problem unless the last row had crept up to the garage wall. That was a simple 5 minute fix. I agree with others here who recommend the epoxy. It looks much more professional. Leave the Trax system for old oily garage floors that can't be painted.
