These are porcelain tiles that will outlive me (not exaggerating). They have a PEI rating of 5 (highest heavy duty rating). Each tile weighs a staggering 8 lbs. You can drop anything on it and it will very difficult for it to crack.
OMG your garage is too perfect......I mean that in a good way...Are you by chance OCD? Looks very well designed etc.........................
Thanks! No I'm not OCD..maybe OCD when it comes to my garage LOL. Actually, I moved my daughter's scooter, bike..etc. out of the way to make the pic look good, ha!
No concerns over durability. I did my research on porcelain and it will outlast me. I was going to do the epoxy metallic but IMO tile looks much better. Also, in doing research, the epoxy metallics (vs the flakes) will show scratches.
Doing tile was more expensive than epoxy but it will last pretty much forever.
Thanks
They look great. I will ask my contractor if he can find them for me.

Lotsa of great ideas in here! Love the air hose ideas since we still lack the air compressor.
When we moved in the previous owner was a car guy too but lacked the vision to organize better. The garage had a lot of space but the ugliest looking floors and the hanging lights really dated the garage and made headroom feel small:
We took the opportunity to completely finish the floors, ditch all the hanging lights and painted everything to give it a fresh new look. All the lights were replaced with overhead LED flush mount lights and we pulled an extra 100 amp line for the dedicated 220 volt uses:
The workbenches, and all the stuff is slowly going into the garage now but still have a lot of "detail" work to be done to make it a real garage. This pic was taken after we hung the cabinets (saved from our kitchen remodel) but still need to get repainted.
For the single bay day, we had the garage rails re-tracked and went to a side mount garage door opener in preparation for the 4-post lift:
here you can see the rails on the single door is totally out of the way and no more hanging garage opener! We plan to do this to the double door later just to gain more headroom:
More to come as we finish....

That looks perfect!
I think you and Jim just convinced me to look into porcelain tile instead of epoxy for my garage floor.
Looking great Rick! You guys have definitely been busy, lol.
Wowza! Pure wow.
Very classy! Who's looking in the back window?

SHHHHHHHHH, it's quiet time in the garage right now.....until Spring :biggrin:
4 NSXs?
Tight fit in the back left corner, lol.
I bet the red convertible (Porsche?) feels left out of the Honda family, lol.
Yep, it's snug & cozy in there.....but car dollies help to utilize every available square inch for sure.
That orange Jag F-Type convertible is certainly surrounded by Hondas, but no hard feelings this long after WWII :victorious:
Ah, I see, although I could totally picture it being done sans dollies.
Okay, I see it now, I was having trouble figuring out what car that was, but now I can make out the Jaguar emblem, lol. The front fender should've helped, but I defaulted to a P-car.
