ha, I was actually going to put a disclaimer against the plate, I knew somebody would say something. I'm a fond reader of the Chav plate thread but don't give a s  t really. Wives name is Karn, she likes it. Obviously I have another set for the MOT

I would be interested in doing that to my garage as well I'm not sure, I was going to go to a supplier and get some information but have not had a chance yet. It would have to be strong to hold a jack with a single point load.

In the US at least, all tiles come with a rating tag in the box, with a PEI rating for hardness (1-5), coefficient of friction, and moisture content. The hardness ought to be 4 or 5, the coef of friction determines how slippery they'll be, and the moisture content determines how they'll withstand freeze/thaw cycles. All of this is explained on the tag, if I remember right.
But the key is that you don't install them with dabs of thinset that leave voids underneath. Like concrete, tiles are weak in suspension (as in spanning a void), but very strong in compression (as in supporting weight when they're well-supported underneath).

I am jealous of some of the garages on here, but the repeated use of the words 'man cave' makes my balls shrivel. It is a garage, or a shed. People with 'man caves' have issues.

Nice one, I will have to save up for a bit however. Been looking at rubber tiles, they aren't cheap either.
