GARAGE FLOORING
Got this from Speedway Motors. Some of you may want to look at this for your garage flooring. Very nice looking for those who may have a finished car they park in their garage. I don't have a garage, but it could look good in my shed. LOL
Could even set it outside and park your parts car on it to make the parts car look better and maybe even the wife would let you keep the parts car next to the garage instead of in the backyard woods.

Ok, thanks. Got it corrected. The ad was from my gmail and I thought I was copying the link. You didn't look at my gmail porn collection I hope.
Watch the video. You can unsnap the panel(s) to clean underneath if needed. They said a shop vac sucks most of the stuff up that goes down inside like grinding chips and the like. I suppose the weave is tight enough that you can roll a jack across it.
As they pointed out, sealing the concrete with an epoxy paint eventually will wear through/out with a lot of use, so this was a better alternative. I can't see it being used for heavy shop use and car building, but probably holds up well in moderate once in a while car repairs. I think it is more for the "show" garage - the same as one would put down one of the many surface textures/colors on concrete. I can't see someone building or doing heavy work on one of those type floors either and it holding up. I don't think any coating/overlay would hold up when really building a car from the ground up - that's only in TV land where they stay pristine for the entire build.

Hmmmm. Here is a 17'6" x 17'6" mat (complete kit) for $1,632.00 - about $5.30 a square foot.
The smaller mat, 8'4" x 17'6" is $804.00 and 8'6" x 17'6" is $924.00
If I had 2,250 sq feet (my home is only 1150 sq ft), I would not be tiling the entire garage either, just under my cars. But for most of those who have the "typical" car garage, it would be a reasonable cost in my opinion.
I have a 12X12 level cement slab I work on that I built a simple A-frame roof over it and then added my tarps to the sides to enclose it to work out of the weather. I added eight 12V overhead panel lights to illuminate it when needed. 12V battery connected to a solar panel and a typical on/off light switch does the trick. Installed a fan/filters on the ends below the roof and it works perfect when spray painting.
So not fancy, but practical and does what I need. I painted the concrete when I first poured it, its all worn away 20 years later from use and exposure to the elements. Don't plan to repaint it either.
The squares/mat might be nice, but I roll an engine hoist on the slab, cut/weld metal on the slab, hammer stuff on the slab, spray paint/undercoat on the slab, and get oil/grease/spilled paint on the slab - but have not had sex on the slab because it was not enclosed until recently. š„°
So the squares/mat would not work for me, but if I had a finished car and a "typical" garage, the squares/matt would be for me - I like it.
