I'd like unfinished oak, utility grade... But then again, my garage doubles as a wood-working shop.

I just got a quote for G-Floor (75 mil) and it was 1575.00 for 3 rolls of 8*22. Ouch. That's a bit much for vinyl pumped out by a machine at 20 kph.

The 55 mil at Costco it 1/3 the price. I like the idea or place and press tiles with a professional sealer like we have at our office. The tiles are easy to replace because the glue isn't that strong and the sealer can be stripped/done anytime your not happy with the finish.

My guess is that the 55 mil stuff is high volume (Sam's, Costco) and so it cost less per unit. The 75 mil costs enough to think permanent and your almost to solid epoxy professionally installed at that point.



We finished up the moving this weekend and so I had an opportunity to abuse the stuff pretty well. Dropping things, tossing boxes, furniture, you name it. 1400 pairs of dirty boots and sneakers. Friggin dog hair everywhere. Even rolled/dragged a refrigerator on it. Bunched up a bit and looked a little worse for the wear, but when I got everything arranged and swept it out it looked fine - no holes and no tears. Car is happy sitting on plastic and sitting under plastic. Owner is happy that the car is happy.



Seriously - this has got to be the best low cost solution out there. It's about $1.30/sqft and if I screw it up badly enough I can get another roll. If I move it comes with. And no I did not buy a load of vinyl futures last week <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

4-months in. Some staining on the vinyl just under where the hot tires sit but otherwise holding up very well.

If you live in a hot climate I would stay away from epoxy.



If it is a hot day and you are driving and pull into the garage when the tires are still hot, the epoxy will delaminate from the concrete. You'll also find that when you go to move the car next time, the heat from the tires parked on the epoxy will make the epoxy stick to your tires. I do not think it does any damage to your tires in the long run as the epoxy will eventually wear off, but the floor will look awful. My experience with repairing epoxy patches is not good - you have to strip the floor and start over (if you are a perfectionist like me, this will drive you crazy).



I've always preferred polished concrete - durable and fairly easy to clean up.
