In reply to TW. Hi TW. There aren't any tricks necessarily. The tiles are free-floating and require a solid surface underneath for the majority of contact points of the tile. The only way to fix an unlevel floor is to use a self-leveling concrete compound. But that will require a bit of work as you mentioned.

Are there any tricks to minimizing the unlevel floor due to concrete pitch for a basement room application? I know it won’t be perfect, but I also don’t want to go through the steps of using any self-leveling compounds and having to prepare the concrete since the concrete is already epoxied and has no cracks. I’m just applying Garage Deck tiles for appearance and some benefit on feet/legs from the concrete as well as plenty of stains over the epoxy.

In reply to Emad Tadrous. Hi Emad. The overall weight and resulting surface friction from the tiles is what keeps them from moving. This doesn't take into consideration walls and other immovable objects that tiles are placed around or adjacent to.

Hello – what prevents the tiles from moving / shifting with cars driving in and out of the garage please?

Thanks!

In reply to Wade Heileson. No, it doesn't really matter, Wade. Just don't forget to plan about any other entrances where you may need to use the plastic ramps.

Does it really matter which side of the garage door I start from as long as the loops are on the side I am working toward?
