The BEST DIY Residential Garage flooring: SupraTile 100% solid PVC

After my old epoxy flooring started chipping, flaking, and cracking, I decided to cover it up instead of sanding it down and refinishing it. SupraTiles (by Armor Poxy) are 100% solid PVC tiles that are quick and easy to install, allowing you to transform your garage in just a weekend.
Since residential SupraTile is a floating floor no adhesive is necessary and it can be installed using a rubber mallet, utility knife, T-square, chalk line, and measuring tape.

I don't even want to imagine the amount of different fluids and water that will seep in between and under all the tiles.

The locking tabs fit together very tightly, so I can't see how very much liquid will get through them.

[@SmellingTheGrass]

I have almost exactly the same stuff in my garage for several years now and looks neat and wet mops well. It withstands my heavy goldwing motorcycle being put onto it centre stand almost daily I expected usual surface scratches and general discolouration over time which rather suprisingly for me has not been the case. I have the edging strip in the same material which tapers on one side to cater for run ins so to speak. I adhered only the edging to the floor using a conventional sealer to prevent ingress (water/wind lift) etc.

[@randomdiyguy]

That's awesome dude... great tip on adhering the edge to keep out dirt, water, and from lifting up!

Hello @HAUSS81 do you think this product would work well over a garage concrete floor that has cratering and is not perfectly level? My garage floor should probably be resurfaced, but I am thinking I would rather just cover it up with a product like this instead of trying to resurface it and level it out.

They have a narrow tapered strip to transition up to the thickness of the tiles, I think he just cut it from what I got in the video. I would get the strips and push them right to the door and use that as your straight edge and go from there then you will look good without the odd gap there.

[@77bubba00]

It's been a couple years since this video was made. How are the tiles holding up? I just bought them for my garage. I like that they lay down nicely even though my floor isn't completely flat. There is a little bit a waviness to it. Still, they follow the contour well. I used a heat gun in a couple spots to slightly warm them and that seemed to work perfectly.

[@rcud1]

The thing I would be concerned about is water that would seep thru. So when we park are vehicles in the winter that are covered with snow and the water on the floor of garage would get under there and just stay wet?

[@randomdiyguy]

Good question, so depending on how much water it is, a little could get under the tiles, but at the same time the joints allow it to breath and dry out over time!

[@onenglen]

Agreed. I am up in the Chicago area and I would be concerned about all the moisture in the winter time.

[@Arthur-dj8im]

What if is oil? Fuel? I would be more concerned about these. The water can be solved with a blower. Chemicals are a different animal.

[@randomdiyguy]

Thanks! I did not compare the price with other brands, but it costs around $2.69 per square foot. Right after I first installed it, the sun hit it in the afternoon and I did have a small amount of buckling from the heat, but I adjusted my expansion gap (just didn't cut enough off) and now I haven't had any problems!

[@johnqcitizen9177]

I’m confused. Did you say you bought this product or they “gave” / “sent” you this product ?

[@Chuckplaysblues]

I’ve had a very similar product down for about five years. I have lots of heavy woodworking tools and cabinets around the perimeter. Some on wheels & some not. I left a 1/2” expansion gap around the walls and installed a transition strip across the garage door opening. Overall, I love the floor.. looks great, holds up extremely well, no problem with liquids getting underneath, no problems at all with dents from the tool rollers (I purchased a smooth but textured surface just for this reason), no problems with it being slick when wet due to the texture, I do have a few stains which won’t come up but it cleans easily. I bought several extra tiles in anticipation of damage so I could replace them if needed but I haven’t used a one of them. Here is my BIG problem…. I often leave the garage door up when I am doing woodwork a the sun shines on that portion of the floor. In the summer it buckled up about 4” on either side because the weight of the cabinets and other equipment will not allow for expansion. It used to lay back down in the winter but now it is permanently buckled! I am considering cutting a relief around the inner perimeter to allow for expansion but this will allow water seepage and I’m not real sure it will lay down again. Something to consider.

Question and sorry if it was asked before , but how many tiles/boxes you needed to complete these two car garage ?

[@randomdiyguy]

All good. It took 18 boxes. My garage is a bit deeper too, so a average garage may use less 👍

[@outlet6989]

I purchased boxes of tiles at Sears that look like the ones you used. They cost me almost $1000 for my two-car garage. The tiles connected to each other like the ones you showed using Tabs and Slots. After I had joined about ten tiles, a bubble formed, and the tiles would not lie flat. I noticed the tabs and slots on the perimeter of the tiles contained excess material left over from the manufacturing process. This is called Flash and prevents the tabs and slots from properly joining. I needed to remove the Flash from the tabs and slots to get the tiles to correctly mate and lay flat. Doing this was a tedious and time-consuming process. I suggest buying only a few boxes of this product and seeing if you have the same result as I have experienced.

[@gtman4588]

How does the flooring material hold up to vehicle jacking or jack stands, i.e., will the hydraulic jack or jack stands pierce through the material. Also, what happens if you have a vehicle fluid leak, water, oil, or gas. Will the fluid seep past the floor material joints and pool between it and the underlying concrete floor?

[@lookoutforfrankie2611]

That would be my questions. Did you ever come up with the answers? I see there's no reply here.

[@WeGoWalk]

I doubt this would hold up to Minnesota’s subzero weather. Also, if water seeps through those joints and then freezes, you could have a really bad problem on your hands.

[@LittleMopeHead]

I was looking for this comment because I do plan to use a jack and work on my car. I believe this won't work because my brother -in-law has something like this for his garage, and we one of those plastic car ramp sets.
