What's the latest on garage floors??

[GRB]

Six nights comped. Expensive free nights though. Dinner at Prime (steaks) too but not much more. Bellagio doesn't comp like they used to. Wynn flopping is not helping the matter.

Wynn is flopping ?

[GRB]

No character. Over-priced everything....even for Wynn. $500 green's fees. Few video poker machines. Not in the middle of the strip.
Oh he's making money, but the property is is not what many people expected. Virtually nobody left Bellagio to work for him. His right-hand man who could make Wynn's ideas a reality stayed with Bellagio. Many people who worked on different stages of the project quit and many more now refuse to work for him again as he designs his new tower.

Ok, y'all have had almost a year to digest your floor coating options, and see how they're gonna wear...so let's revisit this, because we have a 6000 sq/ft slab going down any day now!

I've seen concrete polishing, concrete staining, all the epoxy coatings...so what do people have, and what's not gonna cost us an arm & leg?

My Lowes epoxy is still down but I'm holding my breath.

How 'bout some vinyl compostion tile?

[SS427]

Joe,
Though commonly used, VCT tile is not recommended for garage floor useage. It stains very easily from petroleum based products and subfloor (concrete) staining due to moisture. If insisted upon, a calcium cloride (moisture pressure) test should be performed on the concrete and an epoxy adhesive used. After install, cars should be parked on a (non petroleum based) pad as the tires will leave a stain. VCT uses vinyl in their make up and that is where the problem lies at it is very easily stained. Fritztile makes a tile that is made up of stone, slate, marble, etc chips held together with a resin and is less susceptible to staining (or at least being able to see the stain).

I like these cool floors but why have they not figured out a product a guy can sweep out the goobers of dirt and bolts and slop some paint all around and have it bite into the concrete and stay...

seems like to much work and dollars and a hail mary for it to stay if you do it in a shop that was really used as such before painting

they have it for rusty steel, slap some Hammerite on and it stays for years with no hassle or sighns of failure...

[Chevy454]

I'm kind of looking at concrete staining now...it actually penetrates the concrete, so if you take a small chip out of the concrete, the remaining hole should be the same color as the rest of the floor...or so they say...

post up what you find,Quick!...I have been thinking heavy on doing the floor at the old shop before I move back in.
