[@Ravroid]

Thanks a ton for the product recommendation - just ordered these for my garage floor.

[@Wimya]

Heck yea, that’s awesome!!!

[@SuperWoodyboy]

LOOKS FANTASTIC!

[@Wimya]

Thank you!

[@jonqiao8435]

looks great！ Gonna buy house this year at taxes, and move all the way donw from California to there, gonna do this garage floor at my house as well! Thank you!

[@user-zakb]

Home Depot doesn’t sell this anymore and I’ve been looking everywhere to find these tiles but no luck lol garage looks great though, my kitchen needs this asap

[@philipgretzkowski895]

I'd like to know more about how to finish the edge nearest to the garage entrance. Just beyond the lip that steps up from the apron. Is this edge susceptible to peeling because of weather or being rolled over repeatedly by vehicles?

[@ecsyntric]

how is the water drainage ? does water get under the tiles?

[@frankcedeno5467]

Sick … well done thanks 🤘

[@Wimya]

Thanks bro!!!

[@Ravroid]

I just put these tiles down in my garage and I'm super happy with how it turned out! Thanks again for making this vid. I have a question - did you use any kind of sealant on the tiles? Or if not, has water/liquid been an issue? I'm worried about water getting through the seams and under the tile. Has that been a problem for you?

[@Wimya]

That’s awesome! I’m glad the video helped out. But no I’ve never sealed them before and I’ve never ran into any lift or moisture issues. I even use a hose to clean out the garage and still no water issues. These tiles are still going strong after three years down in my old garage as well.

[@Ravroid]

@@Wimya Great to hear. Thanks!

[@Lefteyesgarage]

Do you think it would leave a bad residue when removed? or do well in a carport with small amount of sun

[@ryanmonti4903]

I found the same product with a different pattern, but only 42 cents / SQ Foot, picked up 11 boxes @ 45/Box, total of 208 + Tax, good to have a few extras down the line.

[@darukorchard3026]

Where did you buy them from?

[@Wimya]

That’s awesome price you got!!

[@1LaStoney]

I’m re designing my kitchen to look like a retro dinner but don’t want to mess up my original flooring. So if I put this down then wanna take it off in the future it wouldn’t mess up my floor ? Thanks for the video

[@Wimya]

Yea It shouldn’t be a major issue to remove them as long as what it’s going on top of isn’t already damaged or deteriorated, if so I could see it being pulled up with the adhesive.

[@hanshaken3491]

Would a motorcycle jack with a bike on it still be able to be moved around the floor, or would it destroy the the vinyl?

[@kewkew2]

My garage has a crease going all the way halfway through it did you just cover over the crease?

[@Justcolby0000]

How do these hold up against bottom of jack stand and other things like that

[@Wimya]

As long as it’s laid properly with no blisters/gaps it’ll hold up great. I use jacks & stands all the time.

[@garysvitkovich6581]

How has it held up to engine heat especially during summer months?

[@Wimya]

No issues at all

[@gottarex]

How is it holding up so far, its been a year now correct? Any tips or advice before I jump in and do to my garage? Do you need to smooth out your garage floor before doing this?

[@Wimya]

Yup just about a year in this garage and going 4 years still in another! It’s honestly held up super well. Biggest tip I can share is just make sure the floor is as clean as possible before install. Use a blower if you have one and get out the dirt/sand/debris off the floor and scrape anything else off of need be

[@Space.Ghost.]

This floor will last a lifetime and look brand new the whole time with 4-8 coats of commercial floor wax.

[@Wimya]

That’s a great idea

[@Space.Ghost.]

@@Wimya thanks, I worked with commercial floors for 2 years. VCT is great stuff, even the peel and stick can last decades with good prep and a few coats of wax. Ultrashield 22 is a fine wax but Betco's Untouchable would be better suited for a garage. Just in case anyone was curious lol

[@Wimya]

Thanks for all that info, I’m deff going to look into it! Sounds like a great option for preserving you flooring

[@kewkew2]

What about jacking car up? I would think the jack stands and jack would dent the vinyl pieces

[@Wimya]

I’ve used my floor Jack and stands multiple times with zero issue. The vinyl is thin but durable. 4 years going strong in one garage & 15 months on this garage floor.

[@yrureadingthisname]

Do you think these would work in a living space? I would be installing them over an old hardwood floor that needs to be updated.

[@Wimya]

Yea you could totally use them indoors. Just make sure the flooring you’ll be installing them on top off is prepped well so that they will fully adhere.

[@renaterichter6112]

Awesome!!

[@Wimya]

🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@andreww2111]

Do you have to start in the middle ?

[@Wimya]

Not saying you have to but Starting in the middle ensures straight lines. If your walls arn’t even lengths or if you have kick outs and you start along the perimeter the lines won’t meet up. Also helps in deciding where you’ll want your cuts if you need to make them.

[@abbyslifeadventures197]

I appreciate you sharing your video. I have a question, do you find this floor slippery? either dry or wet?

[@Wimya]

No not at all honestly! It has a very mild texture to it so I guess that kinda helps.

[@ryanmonti4903]

This product is made for bathrooms/laundry rooms, should not be slippery when wet.

[@Truth24434]

Did you have to clean the floor with anything before laying the vinyl down?

[@Wimya]

Just sprayed it out with some water, used a leaf blower to blow it all out and dry it then laid the vinyl straight down.

[@KennyJoe01]

Looks great. Do you know if it holds up to winter road salt?

[@Wimya]

Thanks! Unfortunately I have no experience with that down here in FL.

[@greencelticman5]

Where can I find these? They are no longer on Home Depots website. There is a different brand

[@Wimya]

I’m not 100% sure where else you could buy them in person. I would check online or ask home depo at customer service if they can still order them

[@derecmathewo1431]

Hello great video where did you get those checker panels would love to do that to my garage

[@Wimya]

Thanks! I ordered them on the homedepo website and picked them up in store

[@derecmathewo1431]

@@Wimya Just had more one question, how was the durability of the vinyl when having a the car in the garage through time. 🙏🏼

[@GarthELibre]

Are there other glue down tiles which would be a step better? Personally, I find your garage floor to be fantastic and it would a real step up from my worn down painted floor. I'm torn between doing glue down tiles and paint. I'm afraid if I had an epoxy floor and dropped a tool or gouged it with a jack stand that I'd have a real problem fixing it. The estimate for epoxy floor two days ago was $2,500 which is fine but that stuff gets damaged and then you have a problem. With floating tiles, garbage and dirt gets down underneath it. I can just see spilling used motor oil and having a day's clean up ahead of me. How is that good for a mechanic? My garage is really nice now except for a god ugly floor. I did the cabinets, the metal peg board, the lights, the walls and now I need the floor. I'll see if I can post a photo to show how bad my floor is.

[@Wimya]

I’ve been seeing a lot of people installing laminate flooring in garages recently. I’m assuming those are people that don’t really turn wrenches on their garages. For what it’s worth I work on my floors every weekend and I still haven’t had any issues. Like you said when you spill oil on the floor it becomes a pain to clean up.

[@hiseminencetheholymacdiarmada]

So, a little over a year on, how is it holding up? I am asking because this is one option I am considering for my garage.

[@Wimya]

Check out my last upload. It’s a 1 year review on the flooring! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6fcnYuqrt9gY7s

[@edangie11ify]

So I installed these in my garage and I’m having an issue with them buckling when we park cars on them. Have you had any similar issues if so how did you solve it or prevent it?

[@Wimya]

I’ve had zero issues going on 5 years in one garage & near 2 years with this garage. I’m also in FL though so our temps really never get that low if you’re in a cold climate maybe that can have an effect. That’s all I can think of..

It’s held up perfectly fine when using my low pro jacks.

Did I missed something, what is the caulk box for? Thanks

[@Ravroid]

Probably for caulking the edges where the tile meets the wall. That's what I did anyways.

[@Sensa1218]

I though the same. I thought he maybe meant chalk box its used when laying tile to make straight chalk lines on the floor.

[@Teramydog]

where did you get the paper cutters?

[@Wimya]

Office Depot I think

[@bvandme]

Box shown states it has 45 sq ft on the box itself?????

What? Each box covers 45sqft of area.

Still perfect. I’ve had it down almost 5 years in another garage.

[@mergatroid1212]

I'm surprised it has not moved more than you say, the adhesives on these self stick tiles are very light weight so pulling them up would be too easy. Driving a car or trailer/jet ski would be a lot of weight for this glue. As with most things the surface you want to stick to is the most important part to get right to make this work the best it can. You mention you need to take care in cleaning the surface before sticking tiles, my advise to everyone looking to do this is to clean (degrees), sweep and vacuum the floor and then use a good quality concrete primer/paint to seal the floor and create a smoother, cleaner non porous surface for the tiles to stick to. Once down, use a floor roller to compress the tile and glue into the floor surface, you can higher these quite easily, the reason is that the glue is a pressure sensitive adhesive, so it takes time to set and need pressure to set it well.

[@Wimya]

Being in FL I think has helped these tiles last. If I was in a colder state I’m sure they would become brittle during the colder months. But zero issues what so ever thus far after a year on this garage and over 4 years on another. But like you said, it’s all in the prep.

[@mergatroid1212]

[@WisdomTooth101]

Will freezing temperatures be an issue? Anyone try this in the northeast?

[@TheLoobis]

Oh, bro! That is not going to last. Not for a garage. And you've got to put a polish on that floor or you'll destroy it.

[@Wimya]

I’ve had this floor down in another garage for going on 4 years and it’s held up fine. No polish.

[@TheLoobis]

@@Wimya Really? You said you park cars in it? and use it like a regular garage?

[@Wimya]

Yup just a regular garage with daily auto use as well as moving trailers and machinery on top. Im also located in FL so we don’t get the cold weather that typically makes vinyl brittle.

[@fiouable]

You do a video and you “think” it covers 24 square feet. Why not ask you mother first ? Useless. This tiles aren’t made to park a car on it.

[@Wimya]

Watch the entire video dipshit. I go over that again and show the info listed on the box. Don’t like it don’t fucking do it… zero issues in 4 years so I can clearly use it in a garage. Maybe your mother could have used these tiles if you weren’t living in her garage.

[@hessulipoika13]

How is holding up?

Flawless. Posted a 1 year review awhile ago showing it again.
