Garage Floor Paint Or Tile
 
I know a lot of villages residents have had their garage floors painted. What about garage floor tiles or mats? These can be laid to form a design, etc. Any thoughts on these and do you know a vendor who does this? Thanks.

I painted with epoxy. (had it done) Expensive but cheaper than tile. Easy to clean and pretty.

Recommend EPOXY paint...I did mine myself with paint from Lowe's. The kit costs around $95. and will do a designer garage but check your square feet.
Some folk have snap-down tiles in various designs and the vendors can be found in the classifieds of the Sun.

I used HC paint (Lowes/Home Depot) years ago. I repainted once since. Plan on two coats the first time. It's one part and easy to roll on.

Remember, preparation is very important. Follow directions to the letter.

A friend had his tiled. It looks wonderful.

There is nothing as classy and clean looking than tile for the garage. If you do it yourself it will cost about the same as having a paint job done. Never did it before? You can actually learn all of the tricks to doing a good job at the Home Depot clinics. You can buy all of the needed tools for less than $100. Nice garage tile can be found for less than $2.00 a sq ft. You CAN do it! If you try, my prediction is you will be shopping for tile for your lanai, front doorway, etc., and those tools will be getting lots more use.

Is that vinyl tile for the garage?

I was referring to ceramic tile. I'm not sure how vinyl tile would hold up in this environment.

Yoda, do you recall who did your garage floor? I'm have difficulty finding anyone to do it. I'm a long way away so my contacts must be made by phone or e-mail.
Thanks
