I presume you have chosen tiles that will be resistant to scratching from stone pick-up, particularly if you have to alter the angle going in/out of the garage? Ha hah, no, I chose them because they were cheap 1 Quote
Keyser Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 Nice - But carpet was the way to go won't scratch it's completely impractical but think how comfy the car would be Quote

Keyser Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 That's so posh I can't afford to get my garage floor tiled Quote
ATTAK Z Posted December 21, 2018 Author Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Cheers Chris - a tiled floor is not really practical for a guy with your skilzzzz - it's a bit slippy underfoot TBH Edited January 8, 2019 by ATTAK Z Quote
rabbitstew Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Those tiles actually look the same as I put in the family bathroom when I did that 8 years back. Porcelain ones from B&Q if I remember correctly. I used black grout though. Looks very nice, although I thought stuff like trolley jacks etc and all the mechanical work I do in the garage would soon chip/damage them. Quote
ATTAK Z Posted December 21, 2018 Author Posted December 21, 2018 Yeah they are porcelain and as I said above they're not really practical for a garage when you intend to work on the car. My skills are in construction rather than mechanical engineering so they're perfect for my needs making the garage easy to keep clean 2 Quote
