Can you dumb this down for me? I'm used to a garage with stains from motor oil, paint stains, animal leavings, etc. Will epoxy fix all this?

More importantly, the vents/slots allow evaporation if it gets wet...no mold. I have had this floor installed in my Colorado home and will be installing one in TV once I get there full time in Aug.

Check it out, I think you will like it! Also, many colors.

Thanks for the input! How does the cost compare to acrylic or epoxy?

I have a 660 sq ft garage here in CO and was quoted $2800 for acrylic w/ no guarantee against peeling from hot tires and oil. My swisstrax floor was $1700 shipped to my front door (garage) and it took me all of 3 hours to install by myself which included trimming the tiles on the final wall. Very easy! I ordered mine at a Jackson-Barrett car auction in West Palm so I got the auction special so cost could be a bit more ordered off their website. But as you know our garages in TV are much smaller so cost will be less.

I will try to attch a photo of my floor in CO.

Thanks. I have an epoxy coating that has been peeling for years.

If I could remove it easily, I would do it.

That might be good option to consider.

This is my 2nd garage floor with it and would never have anything else.
What a great design
