Big Floors GarageTrac Garage Floor Tiles, Interlocking Garage Flooring, Diamond Pattern Non-Slip Heavy-Duty Copolymer Modular Tile, Easy Install (Alloy, 48 Pack of 12 x 12" Tiles, 48 Sq Ft)

Just built a new shed & wanted some really nice looking & durable floors. Have to say they are absolutely amazing. Easy to install & a great value for the money. Highly recommend!!!

The 25-year-old concrete garage floor in the house I purchased had small cracks, paint and oil stains, a few scratches and peeling paint in some area. The more I looked into repairing and repainting the floor, the more I learned about how difficult and expensive this can be. And then I heard horror stories about even the best epoxy coatings showing tire tracks on hot days or even peeling if the surface preparation was not perfect. My prior house had come with this GarageTrac floor garage covering, and for the 11 years I lived in that house it remained perfect - even under my 4,500 lb SUV. So I decided to go that way again in the new house. Installation is very easy if you have the right tools - a hired helper and I got it done in about 6 hrs. Most of the job gets done very quickly; the edging takes more steps. You select a starting spot and begin snapping the tiles together. My packages came in 2 ft. x 2 ft sections of 4 tiles already assembled. No surface prep is needed at all. Just sweep off loose dirt, and knock off anything that protrudes from the surface. Cracks and peeling paint do not need anything done. Now to some tips on installing this floor: 1.) Where you start is VERY important. While the material is sitting loosely on the garage floor, it is too heavy to move a big section later on. You want the front edge to be just inside the garage door, with just a small gap. The door needs to close onto the actual garage door, not onto this material. You could just place the edge of a tile right there, but it is better to add these items first (sold separatly: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0755MNVZ9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The floor material in not too think, but you really need these little ramp pieces to make a smooth transition up to the finished floor level. The tiles themselves have exposed "loops" on 2 edges and hidden pegs that go into those loops on 2 edges. You also need to start with a full tile a short distance (leave 1/4" for expansion) either left or right. The best way to accomplish all of this is to first lay a big "L" - a row of tiles about halfway across the front of the garage, exactly parallel to the opening, with the sloped edges attached, in the right depth so the door closes OK. The other part of the "L" runs from front to back. From that front-to-back portion, snap on a series of tiles until a full tile reaches to a point that is 1/4" from a main side wall. (My garage has steps on one side and intruding cabinets on the other, so I needed top find this spot about 1/3 of the way back.) Remember: these tiles have those protruding loops on 2 edges. Orient the tile so that one edge properly engages the sloped garage-front edging. And you want the edge extending to a side wall to be smooth, without the protruding loops. 2.) Attaching tiles The fit between tiles is very tight. The manufacturer suggest that you stomp the pegs into the loops to attach them. But this is very hard on the feet after a while. For most of them, I used a heavy rubber mallet to tap them together. Since two of us were working on the floor, my partner also did fine with a conventional hammer on a block of wood. These tiles are very tough, but don't hit them directly with a metal hammer. 3.) Separating tiles Once tiles are attached to each other, they really don't want to come apart. But you need to separate some of those 2 x 2 squares to get single tiles, and sometimes you'll make a mistake when laying the floor. The only way I have found to separate them is to place a piece of 2 x 4 under the UP side of a pair that need to come apart, and then hammer down hard through a wood block on the other side of the joint. You'll be afraid of breaking the tile (you won't), but it takes a lot of force. 4.) Finishing the starting rows of tiles. It will take you a while and some careful measuring to get these starting tiles in just the right alignment, but it is the most important step in the whole job. Next, add a few more rows of tile along the inside of the "L" along the front and front-to-back section. This makes the whole assembly more stiff, so you can make absolutely sure everything is dead straight and constant distance from front and side. But it won't be. No garage or room of any kind is perfectly square. We'll get to dealing with this. 5.) Laying the body of the floor. This is the easiest part. Just tap into place all of the 2x2 sections you can and then separate ed 1x2 and 1x1 pieces until all possible full tiles have been laid. Now give yourself a break - you are half done. 6.) All the rest of the tiles will require some cutting. The very best way to do this is with a table saw. For each partial tile, carefully measure the distance from the last full tile to the wall, subtract 1/4" and set your rip fence accordingly. On some tiles, you'll need to keep the side having the loops, so you need to compensate for those when the cut requires running those exposed loops along the fence. As with any cutting operation, cut the largest pieces first, so if you make a mistake you can reuse those scraps for smaller pieces. In my garage, I also needed to use a jig saw for small cuts around a pipe and the side tracks for my garage door. My total cost for materials and my helper worked out to just about the same as if I had an epoxy floor covering done. But based upon my prior experience, this floor will last at least a decade - probably longer - and no painted floor can claim that. If I somehow manage to damage one or more floor tiles, they can be replaced. One more tip: We keep our garage rather clean, but we cannot prevent the cars from dripping liquids. So I placed a pair of inexpensive 4' x 6' rubber-edge mats under the front of each car to catch that mess. When they get dirty enough, I drag the mats out to the driveway and hose them off.

Go together easily and look great

Overall pretty good, durable, good looking, but there were a few of the connections hooks that were broken or snapped. Overall solid

Easy to install, great quality tiles that snapped together easily, no damage. I chose these because they make clean up easy and they can be switched out when needed. I purchased 2 white and 2 beige with lots to spare for my 160 sq ft shed. Very happy with the results .

We had another similar product at our first house. This one is far better. I cannot say enough positive things about it. They are so precise that snapping them together works perfectly. They are shipped with 4 squares already snapped together. It did take me a little while to find out the trick to snapping them together. At first I tried to line up the loops and little nubbies that snap together. That was way too hard. Just line up the far corners perfectly and as soon as you snap the first one in, all the rest will follow. I used a rubber hammer to lock them down. We had to do several cuts because of storage units and my husband just used his sabre saw or power miter saw. He said they cut easily. I am a 73 year old lady and did a large 2 car garage by myself, except for the cuts, and was able to finish it all in a 1/2 day. At the garage entrance we went with the Gladiator strips that are beveled to start out the flooring. They only come in black but it looks fantastic with the gray. The starter strips that they recommend for the product did not get very good reviews so we did go with the Gladiator ones and they worked perfectly. Just so you know they go by male or female. The male ones have the loops. Warning. Think twice about getting a black flooring if you live with snow. The salt on them looks awful. We went with light gray this time. Much better choice. Feels great even with bare feet.

Decided on installing the diamond track in my garage instead of the race track since it's easier to clean and drainage won't be an issue in my area. The tiles are well made and easy to snap together, it was a warm day when I installed them and they seemed a little more flexible. The only challenge for me was finding a clean way to trim the pieces against the wall without purchasing the $300 cutter, I ended up making a jig and used my chop saw with a plastic cutting blade and it worked just fine. I also ordered the rounded transition edge and it worked great.

Installation: Fairly easy and straight-forward. There are some tricks to assembly and disassembly that you kind of figure out as you go. For example, to separate two tiles, place them upside down on a third tile with the attachment point just off to the side (suspended). Tap from the backside with a rubber mallet and they just pop apart. My first try was to try to "unzip" them from the top - I recommend against that! When connecting the tiles, just make sure the snap tabs are aligned. Often just your body weight can get them to snap together but I used a rubber mallet to tap down in many cases. Durability: These are tough material and stand up well to the car and motorcycle being parked on them. Clean-up: I have a small cordless blower to do clean most of the garage floor but a wipe with a damp mop will remove any other stubborn dirt. Customer Service: I have seen others mention terrible customer service but that was not my experience. I ordered three different colors for my floor. They arrived in the timeframe advertised but I was unable to install for nearly eight weeks. It was at that time, I discovered they sent me the wrong color (48 ct). I reached out to customer service and sent photos of the boxes. In just a day or so I had an RMA label and the correct color replacement was on it's way! Companies/employees can make mistakes and having a good customer service experience easily trumps any issue - even when it delays the installation by a few days. Recommend? YES

Easy installation and durability, look and quality of product.

Looks great, went together easily, took about 3 1/2 hrs. to install 400 sq.ft. Soft rubber mallet is much easier than stamping on them with your foot.

Heavy duty product. garage floor feels clean and i can walk without shoes. i just vacum when i have to clean. i also have put heavy duty shelves on the floor tiles...it holds up well without pinching it.

Very durable...but hard on the knees

Shipping was a joke , arrived and all down one side all the hoops were broken off . They don’t ship them with any protection and the two boxes Of 96 tiles were damaged junk ... hard plastic cheap quality . Do not buy
