Is your garage floor an unsightly mess? Does it have splatters and
stains that refuse to budge? Today you'll learn how to make garage floors look neat without a coat of epoxy or paint. All types of garage floor coatings eventually fail due to hydrostatic pressure (moisture that seeps up through concrete from the earth below) building to as high as 11 pounds per square inch. The result is -- eventually and inevitably-- that it bubbles, and whatever is on the concrete separates unless it can breathe to let the pressure escape. That's where new garage floor tiles come in. Porous, quartz-based grout between each tile allows moisture to escape -- and keeps a secure bond. Each 12 by 12 tile has a cushion back (for impact-resistance) and a tough skid-resistant surface for low maintenance and durability. They'll be soon available in hardware stores and home centers nationwide. Until then, find them at garage-tile.com. And that's the On The House tip for today.
