Hello Aynur. They all do well as long as you place the jack on a piece of 5/16″ thick or greater piece of plywood.

Hello Terry. Yes, SnapLock Industries is the manufacturer of RaceDeck and a variety of other private label interlocking tiles. There are a few other companies that manufacture interlocking garage tiles as well. In terms of quality, the differences between the RaceDeck name brand tile and MotorDeck tiles have to do with the bracing sub-structure under the tile as well as how thick the plastic on the top surface is. The RaceDeck tiles have a thicker and more robust bracing system under the tile that enables it to achieve the 80,000 pound rolling weight rating. The peg and loop locking mechanisms are tied-in better to this thicker structure as well. Additionally, if you look at images or compare them in person, you can see the lines of the sub-structure bracing in the MotorDeck tiles ghosting through the surface. You can’t see this with the RaceDeck tiles due to the use of more plastic. If you were to hold the two tiles in each hand, there is a noticeable weight difference.

That said, if you don’t plan on parking a small tank or 18 wheeler in your garage, then the MotorDeck tile is more than sufficient for your intended use. We recommend purchasing them from HomeDepot before someone comes to their senses regarding that price. It’s a heck of a deal. You can always purchase a few more than what you need to use as replacements if you were ever to damage one. If you were someone who actively works on vehicles and other projects in your garage, then the RaceDeck tile is one to strongly consider.

Hello John. Building a man cave can be a very fun and rewarding experience! Porcelain is an excellent option for garage flooring. It’s very hard to stain and extremely tough when installed correctly. One possible issue to consider would be your NJ winters. If you will be tracking in snow and deicing fluids from the roads, you will want to find a tile with a COF rating (coefficient of friction) of .6 or higher. Even then, it might still be a little slippery if your garage sees temps below freezing.

Regarding RaceDeck, if you use their Free-Flow styled tile you shouldn’t have any expansion issues from the sun shining on it. There is much less surface area to absorb the heat and they do not tend to expand much. They also work very well in terms of traction in the winter time. Snow and other debris will flow through the tiles to the floor below. In terms of contractors in your area, Garage and Beyond has and excellent reputation and excels in high end garage flooring, garage organization, and is a RaceDeck dealer as well.
