Best price Racedeck vs Motofloor vs Garage Deck?

[vtrider]

I am currently purchasing a new home, first thing I want to do when I get the keys is put down some garage flooring, I hate the concrete look.

I have been looking at Racedeck, seems to be the favorite of the board, but why? how does it compare to Motofloor or Garage Deck?

Only reason I ask, is its a decent size savings to go with Moto Floor or Garage deck. I have yet to see Racedeck for under $3.50 a foot, (my new garage is 360 sq ft) and Moto Floor is on sale at costco for 2.08 sq ft and Garage deck is 1.98 sq ft.

Where is the best place to purchase? I live in Salt Lake City, which is I think where all of this stuff is made, so maybe someplace can cut a deal for a local?

Anyone know?

thanks.

+1 Very happy with my racedeck floor, and I know they will still be there if I need to replace a tile down the line. Costco did not offer the colors I wanted on my floor and the GJ discount on racedeck made it really a no brainer.

Is there any problems moving a four post car lift from place to place on race track flooring? Or a very heavy tool box? Will the wheels indent in the flooring?

I have several 4 post lifts and we move them around often with no issue, the casters are usually very large . Heavy toolboxes should be of no issue either as most have 4-6" casters as well.

Glad to hear that wouldn't be an issue if I go that way.

Hi,

Have you had a look at the Swisstrax tiles?

These tiles are a great option and meet high quality standards with lots of selection.

I am on the fence with the Racedeck. I have Harleys an I am afraid the kickstands will gouge the tiles and I also have a bike lift and do not know what would happen with the weight of that. It has leveling legs and I think it would ruin it.
Also, what would happen if moisture gets under the tiles? Will it eventually dry out?

And not to mention how they are always leaking oil. Just kidding, i couldnt help myself.

You can always use a puck under the kickstand, it's not like we aren't used to it at some places. A very minor inconvenience for a nice look.

You can put runners under the length of both side if the wheels are small. If they are larger wheels I don't think there would be any problem.

If you look at the bottom, the tiles are designed so there is plenty of air flow underneath and water will still flow across any floor with a pitch or dry out easily.

both my Victory's and my BMW's kickstands do NOTHING to the Racedeck floor.

Is RaceDeck non-combustible?

Reading the VCT thread, the manufacturer don't recommend VCT for garage floors since some building codes require garage floors to be non-combustible material.

RaceDeck is made from "Non combustible" material. Not vinyl (VCT) or rubber.

I did some research last year on shop tiles:

I've been torn between epoxy and Racedeck for months. I think I'm leaning towards Racedeck. I like the simplicity of installation...

Im in Nevada,

Does RaceDek really give a discount to GJ members? If so how much?

Thanks, as I too am also considering Racedek for my 1800 sq ft garage.

Yea if your choice is epoxy or racedek. Go with racedek. Plus the support that they provide here is second to none. They even replace peoples damaged tiles.
