Re: Garage Floors

Scott.....check with your local flooring distributor....I've seen sheet
vinyl in commercial grade but not 12" tiles.  The vinyl tiles (12") are
very popular as they're easy to install and you can easily replace
individual pieces that get damaged.  You can order tiles with a slight
texture to prevent slipping.  

The best solution (in my opinion) is a 125 mil quartz-epoxy floor (about
$5-6 sq ft).  These will fill in cracks, are slip resistant and will not
absorb any chemicals or liquids.  Others on the digest have indicated that
Griot epoxy paint is the "best" thing available.  Check some of your local
firehouses that park 66,000 lb trucks on their surfaces.......see which
coating they prefer.  SD
