Yes, It's actually Swiss Trax ribbed tile.

I love the look these floors get you. I have Race Deck too . . for a show place garage these tiles are great . . for a functioning "working" garage they are terrible.

They are a complete PITA to clean.
They buckle under the tires if you turn the wheels.
Jacks are difficult to roll.
Jacks and jack stands sink into the tiles.
Heat melts them.
Sun causes them to heat up and buckle, they lay back down when done.

Still searching for the "perfect" garage floor solution.

BTW the garage looks great.

To bad you had to swap up the pattern on the right hand side - that would drive my OCD absolutely nuts! Haha.

Looks good.

(They are a complete PITA to clean.)
Not sure didn't clean them yet.
(They buckle under the tires if you turn the wheels.)
Not these
(Jacks are difficult to roll.)
rolls easy, I even had 4 lose tile snapped together and rolled my detail stool around no problems.
(Jacks and jack stands sink into the tiles.)
Bought 2 pieces or diamond plate for under them.
(Heat melts them.)
not sure.
(Sun causes them to heat up and buckle, they lay back down when done.)
Did you leave the 1/2" gap around the edge for expansion?

That might get changed.

Love it.

From the color, I thought for sure you were a Tennessee Volunteer fan. It would be nice to have a garage for cars, instead of a woodshop/storage.
