Hi;

Anyone tiled a garage floor?

Anyone seen a tile that would be OK on a garage floor?

I remember years ago a thick expensive tile that would take the
pounding from jacks, hammers etc a garage floor will take, but heaven
knows what that was?

My Garage is still being built(DIY) and laying a good tile will rid the
screeding and powder problems later on.

Regards
Ian

All cars drip oil in small or large amounts.  Look in any new car showroom.
This would IMO ruin any nice tile floor

I'd have thought any tiling robust enough for garage use would be 
exhorbitantly expensive. Why on earth not just use floor paint like most 
people (search the archives of this ng for posts by Andy Hall (IIRC) 
giving details of the mutts' nuts stuff if ordinary floor paint isn't up 
to it.

TV studios use 'battleship' lino, and those floors take a good old
pounding - and are likely to have all sorts spilt on them. I've also used
it for my workshop bench top covering as it's easy to keep clean. Dunno
where you'd buy it - I got an offcut when they were replacing one.

Paving slabs? Laid on a cement screed, not 5 blobs.

=============
'Durbar plate' would do the job but it would look very industrial.

You'd have to use coasters.


> Grout?


Epoxy grout should be oilproof.

Definitely not on a floor, too slippery.

Under where you are going to drop that hammer/big spanner?

Plastic coat all your tools, job done.

Plastic coated hammer heads, the hammer would not work ;-)

22 mm Buchtal fully vitrified. Make sure you are sitting down with a glass  
of water (or something stronger) before you ask the price. I suggest you  
use an epoxy screed instead. Remember, in any case, to *thoroughly*  
de-grease the floor. I have seen rather too many flooring jobs in garages  
fail due to the omission of this step. I could always tell them without  
opening the package. They stank of motor oil.
