Garage Floor Treatments: Epoxy Versus Tiles
I'm in the process of gutting my garage, installing a two-post lift, and redoing it with quality storage/workbenches made for shop-use and with plenty of space for my tools, decent lighting, and lots of electrical outlets.
I want to treat the floor, as it's unsealed concrete, looks crappy, and isn't terribly comfortable to stand or work on. I'd also like it to look as clean/well done as the rest of the garage once I'm done.
I've thought of doing a two-step epoxy floor sealant, but several folks have recommended I consider a floor tile instead. The argument is that it's a lot less work to install, doesn't create noxious fumes during the installation, isn't vulnerable to failing (and I'd hate to spend a lot of time and money on something only to have to redo it in two years), and it looks great/functions well.
Does anyone want to weigh in on the decision? Has anyone direct experience with either approach -- epoxy treatments or garage-appropriate tiling? Does anyone have direct experience with Race Deck Garage Tiles? I've seen a few references on the web to the product, and it seems to get good reviews.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
Best,
CB
