This is as far as I got... had some other plans this weekend and couldn't finish it. I need to custom cut a few areas.

Looks good. I'm sure others will ask, so... how much $$ for that much coverage? PM is fine, too

1. Looks like you are an Obsessed Garage fan?
2. Looks like SwissTrax? Did you get Matt's OG discount?

Looks great. Would love to see more pics if/when it's all done.

Hey Doanster, I'll PM you the price and of course it will depend on your Garage SQFT and my garage is about 21ft x 22ft about 462 sqft.

Hi MarineOh3,

I have watched a few of his videos on youtube, but my garage build was more inspired by my friend aw305 since I was able to see and experience the tiles he installed in real life. And yes, the tiles are Swisstrax brand and style is Ribtrax. I did not get a discount from Matt's OG because I was not aware of it, however I feel that I got a great deal by negotiating the cost with my sales rep.

I will post more pictures shortly.

aw305 · 10-31-2016, 08:34 AM

Kzang thanks for the reference, here is a before and after when I installed my floors. Painless and easy install. I highly recommend it to anyone that has a garage. I used to track the concrete dust into my house, but not anymore

originalgoods13 · 10-31-2016, 12:40 PM

Impressive!

Questions:

1. How much spacing did you leave on the corners for expanding and contracting during summer and winter season?

2. Would it still snap or bend on some areas that has uneven surface? My garage used to be 16x20 and into 20x20 and there is a slight 1/2-1" slant on some areas.

3. Who is Matt OG? I would like to get a discount as well!

You order the number of tiles based on your flooring size dimensions. You provide that to the guys at swisstrax and they will let you know how much you need. If you have extras at the end of your project, you can return unused pieces for a refund. My garage is not perfectly square and there are spots where it is also uneven, yet the tiles lay very flat and does not move.

The tile sizes are 15.75" x 15.75" x 0.75", Material is Polypropylene copolymer, UV Stabilized and rated over 70,000 lbs. rollover capacity
Excellent resistance to oil, gas and other automotive fluids including Skydrol
Excellent resistance to Alkalis, Good resistance to acids and solvents, they are Non-slip and Temperature Tolerances: -22°F to +248°F, Compressive Strength: 5120 psi.

IMO I don't think these will not expand or change in size due to temperature variances.

Matt OG is a youtuber ( OG stands for Obsessed Garage his channel name) who has a impressive garage setup and also uses the Ribtrax tiles from Swisstrax. I think Swisstrax offered him some incentives to use his Youtube channel for advertising by promoting the product and offering some sort of discount using his code? I'm just speculating here and am not sure 100%, but this is how it normally works ( as I am also a youtuber myself but not as successful

).

Here is his youtube video on installing the tiles

some info on the tiles

@Kzang covered just about everything above, but if you use code MMOG at checkout you get 25% off.

Stop it man!!! Enough, or at least leave a decent gap between posts.......

p.s. I don't understand the folding door mirrors, the wife has them and demands they are used when we park up anywhere, but my view is they make any car look........odd, standing there like there's parts missing or mangled on it. Just me, no offence intended.

Also, you could've picked up the rubbish before taking the pic.......details man, details!!!!!
