I am looking into this product. Seems nice. Got a sample, and it seems to be really good quality, and 100% made int he USA.

www.snaplock.com


Would be expensive for the space, but I don't mind paying for quality if I only have to do it once.

Just wondering what the long term durability of this stuff is, and if anyone has worked with it and can provide any insight on the install process, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Looks very expensive.

Well, it can be. The custom stuff is insanely expensive.

I got a sample that I am doing some testing on. for what I got a sample of (the "free-flow" tiles), it would be $2.69 per square foot. A little pricey, but if it's a one time payment for what could be a permenant solution, I'd be okay with that.

I do think the free flow tiles would look WAY too 'busy' if I put them all over the floor, but if I combined them with something else, it could work.

I have to say that the company itself has been absolutely fantastic. They sent me a full size sample, are VERY fast to answer e-mails, and seem to really value customer service.

Kind of refreshing actually :)

I don't have it in my place, but I've been in a shop that does. Try and find somewhere to walk on it if you can. Its hard to describe, because even though its strong, it just sounds hollow and has a loose tile klickety-klack feel to it. You might be able to put some kind of underlayment that'd minimize that, not sure though.

Maybe not a big deal to you. It is hugely waterproof, which I'm sure is your major concern.

I'll send you a PM with the location and phone number of the shop I worked on. It was a comically shady place (renting big chrome wheels by the day), but its an open storefront place that you can just walk in and look around while checking out the floor. ;)
 
Its what I'm putting in my garage soon. Go to www.garagejournal.com for lots of reviews. As a member on that forum, they offer specials on most holidays. Only down side is what was mentioned: some clickety noise, but the options are endless.
 
I personally don't like walking on it, as stated above it has a weird feel too it and sounds funny. Have you thought about just doing a finish on the concrete? My buddy did this in his shop and garage and I think it looks very nice and handles some abuse. This is similar to the finish he has...
