Garage question

Epoxy versus interlocking tiles.

Which should I do?

I read that epoxy isn't all that and is slippery when wet.

Cheaper I think than the tiles.

Suggestions? Links?

You don't have to do a glossy topcoat when you epoxy. I did mine this summer. I like it. Two car garage cost about $90 (home depot) for all the chemicals (bought separately). It takes about 2 days to clean, etch, and paint, and then a week to sit before you can drive on it.

A tip though: you may want to fill in your concrete seams beforehand with silicon, flexible concrete.


Tiles would more likely look better, but cost about 4x as much.

you mean the man made crack? I'm not sure if I want to epoxy and am considering opting for this.

My uncle just went with the basic concrete floor in his barn.
