garage/trailer flooring
Hey fellas
I bought a 6x12 Haulmark track trailer recently and in the coming months I would like to get my floor covered in some kind of rubberized tile. I did a web search on the stuff anf there are apparently as many companies as there are ice cream flavors. The prices vary kind of wildly as well.
What are you fellas using in your garages and trailers that can be durable and will not break the bank.
thanks
Ken

The trailer place where I purchased mine applied the spray truck bedliner to the floor and ramp. It's held up great over the past 4-5 years I've owned the trailer. I'd definitely use it again.
For the garage floor (new concrete) I used Sherwin-Williams Seal-Crete 2 part epoxy. Only complaint is the color varied, even though it was kept well-mixed during application. A lot of folks seem to like the Rustoleum kit. Comes in more colors, too.

DONT DO IT !!!! I tiled the floor in my trailer. With heat and cold, the tile expands and contacts, lifting the tiles. I now have to pull up the tiles and replace with something else.

I used www.ucoatit.com for my garage floor.
This stuff is not cheap, but I think it was worth it.
This might be a good choice for a trailer floor:

wow, does it expand / contract that much?? i've seen so many trailers where they have that black/white checkered tile...how do they keep them down? or are they using a different kind of tile? hm...i may have to rethink this.

Are these the linoleum stick down tiles or the ones that click together?

Another thing to consider with vinyl tile squares is that they're extremely slippery when wet.

they're definitely not vinyl. they're pretty heavy and come in individual tiles, like 50 (maybe more) tiles per box. they don't have adhesive so i bought the recommended glue/adhesive. the tiles bend a little but if you pass a certain point, they break... i hope they work!! plus i don't have the receipts anymore even if i wanted to return them.

Another problem with tile floors is the trailer floor flexes. Along with expansion and contraction the tiles will pop.
