How I Upgraded My Garage Floor Tiles

- Today I show you how to install garage floor tiles for your garage. It's relatively a simple DIY to enhance the look of your garage floors. If you have epoxy floors that are starting to chip or fade, these garage tiles can be a solution to the problem. These Amazon garage tiles from Happybuy Interlocking Tiles were half the price compared to other manufacturers. Only time will tell of its longevity but so far I love the new floors. You can check out these interlocking tiles from my Amazon link below.

Thanks everyone for checking out the video! The garage tiles turned out better than expected. I did forget to mention in the video of the cost, it came out to be around $700 after taxes, free shipping from Amazon of course. Amazon link to the tiles is in the description. Hope you enjoy, show some love by smashing the LIKE Button :)
Looks like they increased prices now
@sohrubjoshi5189 oh! I'm showing only the black titles prices up. The rest of the color is the same. Hopefully, it goes back down again.
I noticed in the intro, you turned the wheels of your car while parked on the concrete. What happens if you do that on tiles?
Very nice!!!!!!!
Love the blue!!!!!!
Heck yea!! Keep on with the awesome content.
Always appreciate your comments and support! ✌️
Good work Looks amazing even matching your Nice sports car do they make anything to protect the first tile when entering to keep it from crumpling over time
I have had that same flooring in my garage here in Upper Michigan where we get real winter except for this winter lol only 108” of snow so far but I just love these tiles. Easy to clean does not show the dirt and indestructible, the only regret a did not buy them years earlier.
How do you clean out debris that falls thru the tile slots? You drop a bag of grass seed in there seems like it would be a PIA to clean out.
So any issues ? Worth purchase over Swiss trax?
I would definitely recommend Swisstrax they pull up easy enough but what I really like in the winter moisture drip through on the concrete floor beneath and evaporate no slippery floors and it always looks good
The Audi is sweet! R8? I love how you used the blue tiles to make the two zones for parking. Unfortunately Amazon doesn't sell these anymore but I will continually search. Great video!
Oh, that sucks to hear Amazon doesn't carry them anymore. Hopefully, they'll come back. Thanks for the compliment 👍
How well would these hold up under use with a quick jack portable lift? Think they'd hold up under them with not constant use but frequent at least using the quick jacks 3-4 times a month
Love the color combo. Maybe a good vaccume every once in a while might be a good idea.
what was the price for that square footage?
what is that along the lower edge of your walls?
Does it move when you drive in and out ? Also are there and end pieces to get into garage tie down ?
It doesn't move driving in and out. Only time, it might move/lift a little is when you turn the wheel without moving the car. But it goes back to normal when you move in and out.
There isn't edge pieces from the same company. I've tried a company called Big Floors from Amazon and those didn't fit. I might try another company called IncStores again from Amazon. But right now, even without the edge pieces, I have no issues going in and out. It's all about looks at this point.
Garage turned out really nice. I am looking to do the same but concerned about the spacing in the tiles. Do you ever drop something and need to fish it out of the floor? Like a screw. Thoughts?
Thank you! Appreciate you checking out the video. I did have the same concern about dropping something in-between the tiles but so far I haven't "lost" anything in there. Also, I do try to work on all my projects on the other side of the garage, which has no tiles. Hope this helps.
Clean! I really do liked the 3 color patterns🔥 I’m sure you know bout Obsessed Garage
Do you wash your own ride and if you do you should do a video👍🏼
Thanks! I appreciate you checking out the video 👍 I do wash my cars myself, maybe I'll do an ASMR car wash one day 😁
I'll admit it looks good but I track in a lot of pine needles and debris. On my tires, are they gonna fill those gaps? I mean, what's the point? Unless we use a high-powered shop vacuumto suck out the debris,Once a month, a solid tile, you could just sweep or blow them out. Help me out, what's what's the point?
Would you recommend this im looking to put something on cant decide yet
I'm still loving the look of the tiles. I would recommend them if you only want the look. If you plan on working on projects on the tiles, then I would say get the solid tiles. If you place jacks/jack stands on these tiles, it'll get dented in. You would need to place some type of wood or plate to prevent that from happening.
What about the edge by the garage door
hey thanks for the video - how do the tiles feel on your bare feet?
Thanks for checking out the video. They feel fine on my feet, almost like a slight massage. It doesn't hurt, but I wouldn't want to jump up and down on them.
Are these fairly easy to cut if you wanted to do the entire floor and get it right to the edges?
I haven't cut them yet, so I can't say if it's easy to cut or not. But since it's not a completely solid piece, my guess would be with the right tool shouldn't be too hard.
He had to show us he has an R8 LOL!!! Love it, not hating at all.
What grey paints did you use on your walls? Those are the exact colors I want. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for checking out the video. The dark grey is from Benjamin Moore Charcoal Grey (leftover paint from another project), and the light grey is from Behr Ultra Flannel Grey.
@@SpendingJar Awesome, thanks! How have those tiles been holding up? I am in AZ so not much weather changes here and am really considering them.
@PODOnow sorry for the late reply, no issues so far the tiles are still in good condition.
Now, with that being said, if you plan to work on your car on the tiles, I would get solid ones. For example, I made a TH-cam short showing how jack stands will dent-in these tiles. I still love them. If I need to jack up my car, I just place plywood underneath it as a solution.
Do they make a ramp / edge piece?
From thr same company, looks like they don't. I bought some off of Amazon called Big Floors, they didn't fit. There is another company on Amazon I might try called, IncStores. But right now I'm okay without the edge piece. No issues with the cars getting in and out. It's all esthetic at this point.
@@SpendingJarI think the company that actually makes them is vevor so might want to see if they offer an edge piece. Garage looks awesome and sweet ride!
How you clean ??
How are these holding up and, how's the clean up?
It's holding up great so far. Haven't seen any cracks or broken tiles from the weight of the car. I haven't cleaned them yet so that'll be interesting to find out. I'll definitely have a video on it when I do. Thanks for checking out the video 👍
Do you still have this floor and how has it weather up until now?
Hi and yes, still have the floors with no issues. Nothing broken, no color fade that I can tell. I still haven't done my first cleaning yet, something I'll get to eventually.
@@SpendingJar awesome, you may want to do a long-term review, I love the colors you chose, I think I'm going to take the same route 👍
How do we clean the floor?
Super easy, just run a shopvac with floor attachment over them. I do mine once every couple months to catch any dirt that fell between the vents
Is it noisy to walk on? Are there clicking sounds when you walk on it?
Not noisy at all? No clicking noise from regular shoes or sandels.
@@SpendingJar awesome! Thanks for the quick reply too!
How are the tiles holding up?
Sorry, I saw someone ask the same question 10days ago. Glad they are still holding up.
@WeaverWrestler No problem. Still no issues. I need to do an update/cleaning video on it soon. Thanks for checking out the video 👍
I know it’s only been 4 months but how do you like them, and are they holding up?Looks awesome with the car!
Still loving them. Holding up fine and looks great. No color fade or cracks. If I were to pick an issue, it would be placing car jack/jack stands on them. It'll leave a dent using them.
One solution would be to place something beneath the jacks, example a metal or woood plate/plank beneath the jacks.
Awesome! I am looking to do something similar so thanks for the update. A huge price difference between these and other kinds like this.
what about the debris and crap that will settle under the tiles?
I bet you could just use a blower of some type and take care of them
It’s easy, I usually run my shop vac over mine once every couple months to just pull out any grass clippings etc that gets trapped down in there.
That’s my biggest question about these types of tiles too. The little grooves look like a total pain in the ass to keep clean. I’ve seen some woodworking garage videos installing these and all I can imaging is how frustrating and anger triggering it would be to get sawdust out of the grooves.
@@KatherineChalmers na its easy, if you are heavy into wood working and just have a lot of saw dust, a leaf blower knocks everything right out. If its more longer strands like blades of grass, then it can be a little more of a hassle and need to use a shop vac but again its super easy and the tiles keep the floors looking cleaner longer bc they fall because the debris goes between the grooves. I have these in my garage, a backyard patio, and in my gym. All areas see a different variety of dirt/debris and I much prefer these over my old epoxy floors. Cheers!
Have you tried to jack up a car yet on them? Or using a plate under the jack and stands?
Good question, I haven't tried yet, guessing the floor jack shouldn't be an issue since it's on 4 wheels. The jack stands are narrow on the bottom so that might or might not be an issue. I'll test it out when I get home later and post an update for you. Thanks for watching and support 👍
@@SpendingJar absolutely! Ty for sharing and reviewing! Also do you think these might be able to interlock with similar tiles? Thanks for your thoughts and experience!
@wick6315 just tested the floor jack and jack stands. Looks like both will damage the tiles in some way without a plate underneath. It works, but you'll have scuff marks and dents on the tiles.
As far as other manufacturers, my guess is it won't fit together. I think swisstrax has 6 tabs vs 4. Racedeck has 4 tabs but my feelings are it won't line up completely. Hope this helps! I have plenty of spare tiles so I'll replace the damaged one day. All in the name of science right? Haha 😂
@@SpendingJar ty for checking that out for me! Do you think if you put a piece of steel under the jack and stands the floor will be ok? I'm just wondering because I want to buy them but I work on my cars from time to time and just trying to learn if they will work lifting on them. And ty for answering so fast! Gave you a thumbs up and ill sub too!
@wick6315 Thank you! I just uploaded a TH-cam short on floor jack vs tiles if you want to check it out. I think a plate would help even out the pressure across the tile better and help it from getting damaged. Maybe a video on it in the future.
My only issue with those is dirt and debris can get stuck in those crevices. Better off with a solid panel (eg Husky PVC) w air gap underneath for moisture flex. 💪
💯 agree on dirt getting trapped. I haven't tried cleaning my tiles yet, but I know there are a few leaves under there. I'll probably have a cleaning video on it one day. But I still love the look.
The other issue I ran into is working on my cars on these tiles. Jacks and jack stand will dent the tiles in. Guessing solid tiles might have fewer issues. My solution was to place wood to disperse the weight from the jacks.
What’s your experience like so far with placing wood underneath jacks and jack stands?
Leah blower would work good.
Is it okay if they get wet?
I've had no issues with rain water from the car when I park.
How much for everything ?
About $700
nice r8
Thanks! Appreciate the comment!
Try a garage burnout on it. See if it wads up like a rug.😂
Need to let us see the dang tile and not you bro
You don't show how to cut the tiles to go around obstacles, If you don't have to make cuts I can see how easy these would be to lay down.
Hi, yea, I didn't cut the titles whatsoever. I kept it simple by leaving a gap where the shoe racks are. I locked them together with the hammer, placed the fridge on top, and called it a day 👍 Personally, I'm okay with it.
As far as cutting the tiles. I believe they sell tools to cut tiles, sort of like cutting laminate floors. Or using best iudgement, many types of saw should work with a fine tooth blade. Haven't tried it, so I can't confirm what works best.
To bad they don't have red :(
Hopefully they come out with more colors but yea, strange they don't have red. I figured red would be a good selling color. But thanks for watching!
Dude those will hold dirt and crap in 5hem , I give 3 months of vacuuming up your garage until you hate them😊
I've had them 6 months now and haven't cleaned them, so you might be right haha I need to do a 6 month update/cleaning video to see how bad it is. But still loving the look.
Just use a blower and it gets 99 percent out.@@SpendingJar
Idk. Looks like a nightmare to clean.
🤞 hoping it won't be too bad. I'll probably air blow it once in awhile. Maybe a cleaning update video some time in the future to come 👍
@@SpendingJar yes please!
Update on cleaning? Has it held up to sunlight and normal use?
@@SpendingJar how has the cleaning process been and have they held up?
@@dougtowery462 hi, it's held up with no issues. I haven't cleaned it yet, something I have to do. Thanks for checking out the video.
Nice car but itty bitty little garage..........
Pretty standard garage size. I fit my raptor in mine 😂
🤣🤣🤣 this guy has an Audi r8 and shops on Amazon for cheap garage floor tiles.
Utility, in economics, refers to the usefulness or enjoyment a consumer can get from a service or good. Although the concept of utility is abstract, it is a useful way to explain how and why consumers make their decisions.
Guess what? That’s why he has an R8 genius. He knows how to get the best bang for his buck.. Where’s your R8???
what did you do with the front edge where it transitioned to the driveway?
I left it the way it is. No issues so far and aesthetically, I don't mind it.
@@SpendingJar 👍
