Garage Floor Tiles Review and Full Install | Vevor Tiles | Tesla Garage Setup | HUGE Upgrade!

- I just installed these Vevor brand floor tiles to enhance the look of my garage and I have to say I’m quite pleased with how they turned out. At my old house I placed down an epoxy floor which took me a week or so to prep the concrete floor to find out just after a few months the epoxy resin started to crack and come up from the hot tires. Rather than going through that whole mess again, I just decided to look into floor tiles.

While there are a few brands of garage floor tiles including Racedeck and Swistracks it all comes down to what you prefer and of course what your budget is. My garage size is roughly 20ft by 20ft in diameter; pushing the cost of this installation to upwards of a couple thousand dollars for the Racedeck brand alone. That's not something I was not able to swallow. I came across this Vevor brand also known as the happybuy brand on amazon which has the same look as the Racedeck but nearly at a third of the cost! While they only have a few colors to choose from, I was only wanting the black and gray colors anyways. At nearly $1.50-2.00 dollars a square foot for my two car garage the price came out to about $800.00 dollars. Which was much more manageable than the $2,000 price tag of the other brands. These tiles like the big name brand tiles out there, also support the weight of heavy vehicles like my tesla for example. They are also UV resistant, stain resistant, and are obviously open faced so any moisture can breathe through them. Looking at the tiles themselves they seem very sturdy and rigid. The bottom is even open channeled for water to pass through. The entire shipment arrived in only 1 day but it may be because I live only 5 hours from their shipping facility here in Georgia. Anyways each tile has two sides with female connecting loops and the other two sides have the male connecting pins. You can see here how easy it is to connect each one together by pushing on them. As you'll see later I just used a rubber mallet for the rest of the installation. We are going to want to have as much of a flat service as possible to prolong the life of these Vevor tiles.
I started at the garage overhead door and worked my way up to the house entry door. You want to make sure you leave about a quarter inch gap between the walls for expansion. I had a design in mind similar to this one you see right here. I ended up only placing two rows of gray tiles down the middle rather than three as you'll see later in the video I ran out of gray tiles for the edge of the garage wall.
Going through the rest of this timelapse as I mentioned earlier, I had to remove one line of gray tiles down the center so I could finish the side wall. I had plenty of extra black tiles to replace these with anyways. I continued to use my cutting tool working my way down the rest of the garage until I completed the edges and corners. In total for the entire project it took me about 5 hours. I think the longest part was once I had to do the corners and sides the measuring and cutting took up a lot of the time. The next day I installed this edging strip at the entry point of the garage door. Most of the high end brands have their own edging connecting stripes but unfortunately the Vevor brand does not. I found this rubber edging strip on amazon that can be tucked right at the edge of the tile. My garage overhead way is about 14 feet long and this piece is 20 ft. I took a cutting knife to create the custom length I needed. There is also this 3M sticky part on the bottom of the edge guard that adheres to the floor of the garage. I do not expect this to hold long as the heat and cold over time will probably cause this to loosen. I may have to find a better option in the future to keep this edge guard in place. I think it looks pretty good though, almost a match to the gray color tiles in the back. They also have this in the color black on amazon. But that is all for the install. Clearly you can get this done in a day by yourself but honestly I really like the way these have turned out. I think the appearance is way better than looking at a concrete floor. I’ll have to keep you all updated in the comments as to how they are holding up. Since posting this video I have had them for a few days and I’ve driven my car in and out of the garage with no signs of the tiles bending or showing signs of wear and my tesla weighs about 3,500 lbs.

@@allenkarpenko3213 dang! Hope they restock soon!
Great video! I was waiting for a full review of these Vevor tiles. Thanks for the content.
My pleasure!
Floors look nice. Where did you get the light? Thing is sick!
I made a video on this... th-cam.com/video/VPlLiqgr0f4/w-d-xo.html&lc=Ugzdj9zDVNLarBWnFpJ4AaABAg
Won’t dirt and etc just build up over time? Looking into this solution or massive ones
I'm excited to see how this turns out. I'm about to get a new house with a garage, which will be my work and study area.
Yours looks good.
Thank you so much, i am in SW FL, and epoxy is popular but i have heard horror stories about it with heat. Curious, what is the color on the walls?
It’s a light brown color. Came with the house haha
@@EMtesla1 thanks, looks clean with the tiles!
@EMtesla1 Nice video. Which style did you buy from Amazon? Protection, Modern or Retro?
It appears to be the ‘modern’ style. Looks like there is only one color now… green. I would just get them direct from the vevor link in my description for more color options.
@@EMtesla1 Vevor is out of stock apparently :(
@@hfayad dang! the color black is out, I do see grey tiles available at least(55 pcs). They must be popular !
Hello! How many boxes you used for grey and black tiles?
Your garage floor size may be different. For mine I got 5- of the 50 pcs boxes and 4 -of the 50 pcs grey.
I have a 21x24 garage? How many tiles I would need to do the whole garage?
504
Really would like to know the durability of these.. sometimes price is an indication of value
So far so good! 1 week of use and no signs of damage due to weight of my tesla.
Thanks for posting. I'm in the air between these tiles or epoxy. My only concern is for my woman. I'm afraid she might twist her ankle if she wears heels and walks on the tiles.
I'm pretty sure the heel will not fit through a crack of these tiles. They'd have to be very very tiny heals.
Have you had any issue with wind blowing dirt/stuff in and it getting under the tiles? Or non issue?
Dirt will get under the tiles. Simply vacuum with shopvac or leaf blower out.
@@EMtesla1 thanks!
Would these crack using a floor jack to raise a car?
I placed a piece of plywood under the jack just in case.
what transition did you use at the ends? vevor don't setll those.
The link is in the description
What description why not just show it?
Where did you find the lip….held with 3M tape? That’s the only thing holding me back.
Link is the in description and pinned to the top of comments.
Not going to lie, the vevor tiles look very cheap and flimsy, esp when you were holding one up and it was bending quite a bit. I run swisstrax tiles for my garage and they look and feel much more substantial. Kudos if it works for you, but I was looking for a 20+ year solution for my project.
Ill keep everyone updated on how they work out! thanks for commenting!
You think swisstrax tiles are going to last 20 years. BLAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@@edwardr5084 7+ years and counting, not a single issue whatsoever. Troll harder.
@@ApexClubRacerYou paid $5,000 for some plastic so I’d sure hope so lmao
There’s literally no difference. I just did my 500sq ft garage for 600 bucks my buddy has Swisstrax and they’re identical size shape & are even interchangeable. (These Vevor ones are 12” so they’re a bit smaller)
@@MrDance4meh I paid less than 1600 for 20x20, not even close to 5k.
