My floor tiles have now been down for just over 2 years. They look as good as the day that they were laid plus I have had no problems whatsoever. The garage floor was new concrete which had been given time to properly dry out . It was given a slight gradient to allow for any water ingress. I then gave it 2 coats of good quality floor paint . The tiles were sourced from "The Versatile Flooring Company" . Tel No. 0870 7772795. They were very helpful and even sent me sample tiles. When fitted it is important to leave a small gap around the perimeter to allow for expansion. (Don't forget our engines make a lot of heat.} Skirting board will cover the gap. Should you choose the wrong or inferior tile it could well react with your tyres leaving a permanent stain.

Just did our factory out with tiles from "Ecotile" in Luton in black! looks great!! we drive 2 ton forklifts up and down the factory all day, no problem at all, Ecotile great company to deal with, you can have the logo of your car imprinted on the tile if you want to be really flash, rang them in morning collected and fitted by us in one day bout 160sm, not bad!! expansion gap a must!! covered ours with mdf skirting.
