LOL! Good catch. This spring, I am replacing all these crappy plastic tiles with ceramic floor. Big job and will take me a little time but I wanted a dealer showroom floor to boot my cars...Nice car and nice garage but why are two red squares cleaner than the rest? I'm not OCD, just have an eye for detail but rarely act upon it...

Genuine question, would a properly laid tile not crack if you dropped something heavy on it, say a spanner, axle stand or such. Or even support the weight of a car on axle stands without cracking?LOL! Good catch. This spring, I am replacing all these crappy plastic tiles with ceramic floor.

I think it's a worthwhile investment.....
Porcelain tiles are harder wearing than ceramic Martin and are therefore better used for a garage floor. I put 60 m2 down in my garage and have had axle stands on them for wheel refurbs without issues. Dropping heavy tools on them is probably not a good idea though and I’m sure they would crack if hit hard enough. The key is to spread the adhesive liberally and evenly over the entire surface of the tile when laying them to avoid any issues of cracking.Genuine question, would a properly laid tile not crack if you dropped something heavy on it, say a spanner, axle stand or such.

And yet I've been to McLaren's boulevard many times and peered into the F1 bits, so if it's good for them...Porcelain tiles are harder wearing than ceramic Martin and are therefore better used for a garage floor.

Yes, in terms of durability and longevity, they are a better wearing and better looking product than plastic snap tiles. However, like with anything that is ceramic, don't drop heavy jacks or other tools because they will get damaged. It's all about being careful guy! Common sense and caution while working of course!Porcelain tiles are harder wearing than ceramic Martin and are therefore better used for a garage floor.

New tiles to replace ones with broken tabs but regardless, they are all going away to be replaced by something much more durable and worthy of the space....Not such a keen eye, there are three bright ones
Nicely outfitted stable... Pairing a Ferrari with a Maserati is also a nice touch! My wall is starting to run out of space for my little guys.....
