Floor is called Swisstrax Ribtrax, which is made in the USA. Typically used for detailing because it allows moisture to drain through and out. I chose this because the concrete underneath looked absolutely terrible with peeling paint, never paint concrete by the way. Rather than completely stripping the garage and having something else applied, I chose to install Swisstrax myself.

I actually installed it on Boxing Day back in 2021. I had some help from my Dad, but I did all the connecting and cutting. Took us about 7 hours, most of the time being the cuts. Each tile locks together with pegs and loops, so it goes down pretty quickly once you get into a rhythm.









The main attraction for me, other than how it looks, is it meant I didn't have to gut my garage in preparation. All I did was move things as I needed, then slid them back in place when I had finished.















The great thing about this stuff is that it means I can always have a clean surface to work on. Water and dust just flow through, I then occasionally vacuum or blow the garage out. Prior to the floor, I would have to be doing that every few days. I will say, there is a few versions of Swisstrax, but Ribtrax is the one to go for as it helps with the cleaning better than the smooth.

In the end, the fact I could install it myself so quickly meant the price to do this was less than having someone come in and apply epoxy, which isn't great stuff, or grind and seal the concreate.
