Superb video covering all the important points, gives me confidence to lay down this flooring optimally. Besides the discount linked in the description, do y'all provide any heavier discounts around certain times of the year (e.g. Black Friday, holiday, turn of the new year, etc.)?
We never know for sure with Swisstrax. One year they had a Black Friday sale, and the next they didn't. They sometimes have good sales out of the blue. I would suggest going to our site and signing up for our Newsletter. Swisstrax let's us know when sales are coming and we notify our readers. :)
very informative -- got a new house in Florida being built with a 3 car garage -- initially thought going with epoxy but not anymore -- going swisstrax
with this being a new floor should i put down a waterproof sealer? -- also love the idea of painting black along the base
Hi Steve. Applying a penetrating concrete sealer beforehand can help protect the concrete from moisture and the associated issues. We didn't do it since we live in Southern California. Just be aware that penetrating sealers do not waterproof concrete. They repel and resist water. If water sits long enough (longer than what it takes to evaporate), the concrete will still absorb some water. Coatings will prevent water from intruding except for joints. However, they are not recommended for floating floors such as Swisstrax. It creates a slippery surface that may cause the tile to shift when under load by a vehicle.
Some people say you have to take your tracks up to clean under them is that true?
It depends on what you are cleaning. Any loose material such as dirt, debris, sawdust, etc. can be pulled right off the concrete through the tile with a shop vac. We did that when we cleaned all the shavings from cutting tiles during our installation. The only time to pull tiles up is if you have some sort of major spill such as oil or some other automotive fluid. Even then, it's fairly easy to pull the tiles up. One of the major advantages of the Ribrax tiles is that they rarely look dirty due to the ribbed design. On the flip side, solid top tiles require regular cleaning maintenance. We had a solid top RaceDeck floor for 8 years :)
I like the Swisstrax also I’m going to use my garage to wash my cars which one will be the best for me
Hi Gearl. The Ribtrax Pro and Ribtrax Smooth Pro are both popular for detail shops that wash and detail vehicles indoors. Swisstrax states that the Ribtrax Smooth Pro provides the best grip between the two when the tiles are wet with soap.
@@allgaragefloors so my garage is 24 x 24 is that how you order it?
@@gearlstrickland3365 There are a couple of ways to determine what you need to order. If you click on this link: bit.ly/3utqNgD it will take you to the Swisstrax product page. Click on Floor Designer in the menu bar at the top. It will allow you to input your floor size. You can then choose your tile and color/s and it will determine how many you need. You can place an order from that. Or you can call their toll-free number to give them the information if that is your preferred method. Don't forget to use code AGF24 to get your discount. 🙂
I don't see a link for the discounts?
Hello Ed. It's in the "Description" below the video. You can also use this link: bit.ly/3utqNgD Use code: AGF24 to get a discount.
Where’s your safety goggles during cut? A piece of plastic in eye is NOT fun
