RACE DECK FREE-FLOW: Tile Review for the Garage

Starting with a bare concrete floor, we'll be doing a full install of RaceDeck Free-Flow tiles to give new life to the garage! RaceDeck is one of the leading garage floor suppliers specializing in polypropylene tiles which are 100% waterproof, and "resistant to most household chemicals and petroleum products" making it a great option for your workspace. They are fully designed and manufactured in Salt Lake City, Utah, and shipped directly from their facility there.

We'll walk through the reasons I went with this flooring option over an epoxy coating and briefly compare it to Swisstrax, the most competitive alternative. As a space where I'll be changing parts, brakes, and oils on motorcycles, the Free-Flow tiles have given me a great workspace flooring and already held up great from the daily parking and maneuvering in the garage.

During the video I'll give some heads up before you purchase and install your own tile flooring along with several quick assembly tips to make the install and cutting process easier. With the right tools, the install can be done in just a few hours and I am thrilled with the results!

Feel free to ask any questions that you've got, enjoy!

Hi Philip, great job. I will be redoing my garage floor in December. This video was real helpful. I live in Arizona so I need to worry about HEAT. I work in my garage all year long as a mini lab so I had to put a minisplit in.

I would of finished under the Water Heater just put a Tile down fill it in with some coloured cocking so that doesn’t stand out like a sore thumb just work around the stand in my own opinion ! Otherwise Great Job looks nice !

[logicalmisery]

I was hoping to see what you do for the female loop edge along the right wall, did you cut off all the loops on that side or leave them?

Hello Philip, Awesome job. Looks clean man. I have the same garage style, what style did you go for this tile project? Looks like checkered or something else?

[GRJCLyon]

Very nice look and seems easy enough to do however for me I use my garage for too many different trades and you wouldn't see my floor 1/2 the time anyway. I wish I only had 2 shelves and a bike or two to fill my garage. You can't even see my walls right now. LOL

Finally someone talks about the female floor edge ..: thanks bro

[impossiblemercy]

Can you put these on top of a DIY epoxy to protect it?

[philipb]

What I am interested in, is what happens after your hot tires have been parked on this product? Does it damage or discolor?
Also, what happens when you turn your wheels while parked on it?

[ECUAMOR]

Great job! Was it noisy when you’re walking being that it’s plastic over concrete?

[Hughgass]

After you ordered how long did it take to ship/deliver?

[marsBWR]

is the fact they're open to the floor underneath a pro or a con? clearly they were designed to be open, but why? you spill oil or do woodworking and now that's all fallen through the tiles and underneath the floor. i suppose with closed tiles you might worry about moisture underneath, so maybe install on top tiles are just not a good idea in general?

[timyedo]

The color combo looks good despite the brain fart of the one sq.foot vs two sq.feet and a rubber mallet would have worked much easier

SMH race deck would be 1600 to do my garage. Epoxy is cheaper now lol

[itsturbinetime]

I can install this for anyone in Memphis Area

He's confusing Male vs. Female ends.
