@BudoDave76 Do you park cars on it, or is it a workshop? I’m curious to know how this would hold up to vehicles.

@BudoDave76 8 ай бұрын

@@rumrun11 I do. I made small piece about 4’x4’ and parked on it for a month with the front tires and saw no blemishes or marring. So far the only disadvantage I’ve see is that you don’t get the traction you’d get from epoxy. Only cost about $800 bucks.

@rumrun11 8 ай бұрын

@@BudoDave76 good to know, thanks. What is the climate like where you live. I live in Canada. I’m wondering if this would hold up to a Canadian winter, followed by a reasonably warm summer. Yes, I could see it being a bit slippery. I wonder if there is some kind of sanded paint or sanded clear coat you could put over top (at least in the area where the tires roll over) to provide a better grip?

I did vinyl planks for my dog's room. it had concrete slab just like your garage. I would always recommend to measure width of the room before laying; chances are you will want to cut your first row that you lay so that the final row might not end up being a sliver of width. Looks like it worked out fine for you :)

I believe he said that he would first float the floor to get it flat and then lay the vinyl floor on top of that. As long as you first scuff u the tiles and prime it properly to get good adhearence, it should work well enough.

Glad you’re back. Cool project and sharp looking results. I have two durability questions regarding vinyl plank in a garage/shop for you or anyone else who has done this. 1. How well does the planking hold up to concentrated weight created by heavy tools on feet/rollers? 2. How does planking stand up to a parked vehicle, especially to twisting force of tires turning with steering movement?
