GarageTrack made my garage look really nice. It wasn't hard to install. You just have to step on it to snap it down into place. You can pry it up with a putty knife if you need to take it up for some reason.

I'm from Nebraska, and the winter is a dirty, cold, annoying time to be here. The tread on this floor makes my garage safer when it's nasty outside. As soon as it warms up, I just hose it off and it's good as new.

I had an easy time with bigfloors, too. They took care of business just fine. Their website was a big help because they have a "floor designer" application there. Shipping was free and I'd do it all over again if I had to.

Color: Hue/brightness/lot consistency excellent. Rates a 10
Fit: Square/connection/placement excellent. Rates a 9.5 (see below)
Install: Simple even for the clutz. Excellent. Rates a 9.5 (see below)
Cutting: Simple even if done manually. Excellent. Rates a 10
Impression: Wow! Outstanding!

A little care has to be given to recognizing that the tiles have a 'correct orientation'. Also, when joining two sides simultaneously, a lock tab will want to wander out of alignment once in a while. Once you develop a 'technique' for laying it (takes about 2 minutes to 'get it')...installation is fast and nearly flawless. I suggest beginning in any corner and running joined rows down each wall ('L' shaped). Move the assembled rows to square and space to taste. Now build out from the corner area. (Note: It will get really heavy to move around, so make your final positioning early). Save the cutting chore for the last thing after the main bulk of the floor is done. If spaced well, each cut half will fill the gap for opposing sides and edges are capped by your wall trim.

1 1/2 years later: I have replaced 5 tiles. This, becauses I let HOT antifreeze drip onto three of them. The other two stained with red differential fluid (that stayed for 2-3 days before I saw it). Otherwise I remain very pleased with the polypropylene formula these things are made of.

Do be mindful that they CAN be scuffed by sharp or dragging objects. I have all heavy items (engine stand, cherry picker) sitting on furniture sliders under the wheels.

Oh, I will be doing another room (utility) with these btw...
