G Floor Covering

[sxk122]

Cart before the horse, but I've been looking into garage floor coverings. The house we have an offer in on has a painted garage floor that is lifting. Rather than trying to strip and re-epoxy, only to have the same issue re-occur years later I've been researching alternatives. One that I've come across are the G-Floor mats. Relatively inexpensive from Sams, easy to install, and as of yet, i haven't found any negative reviews.....

Anyone have first hand experience with this stuff?

I want to rephrase the "haven't found negative reviews" before i'm 'corrected'. People talking about contraction, buckling, or bubbling fall into what I believe to be the "I installed it incorrectly, but it's the product's fault" group or the "i didn't read the instructions" group. There may be some exceptions, that's why I'm asking for first hand reviews. I would also probably follow the industrial application instructions and go ahead and use the suggested pressure sensitive adhesive.

No experience with those, but I'd look at something more like this.

I'd try to find a company that has black and white or like the above black and red, and do a checkerboard style layout. Add some style to the garage rather than just cover, and if you move in the future you can take it with you. I was considering doing this for the garage in my apt but didn't want to mess with it.

Racedeck is good if you're not on a budget. If you get good epoxy it won't lift like that, but the HD/Lowes stuff is crap. I used epoxy-coat and it's been good for a year so far.
