VersaTex Garage Floor 18 x 18 inch Square

I used 5 boxes in a basement workshop / furnace room / storage room. I had 1' square VCP tiles I installed 20+ years ago but the glue became brittle and the tiles were popping up. I liked that material but they run over $2/sft, are brittle, and are a lot of work to install so I looked into many, many flooring options. I went with this product and think it was the right move for my situation:- Interior basement floor, will never see sun and the temp is nearly constant- Can be removed / recut if needed to accommodate a different furnace, water heater, or big shelf that I want to anchor- Looks decent and cleans/sweeps easily- ships/sold by Amazon proper (better faith if returns needed)- made in the USA from recycled rubberI didn't follow the install directions literally, I started at the edge you encounter when walking in since I wanted that to set the line and look for the rest of the layout. Along the front edge I trimmed the little tabs off for a clean look, but didn't along the left and right walls which fit perfectly without any trimming (luck). The back wall and around a few obstacles I had to cut tile - it's only 4mm thick but like cutting through a hockey puck. You can't just score and snap these like drywall, you need to cut through them. I tried utility knife with drywall square (requires perfect alignment from cuts on both sides), angle grinder (just no), and had the best results with small tin snips. The right combination of sharp and leverage (helped to wear gloves).Other random thoughts:I don't think these would be good in a garage that gets sun or used for parking cars, especially where it snows. Water/salt will get under and it's not a quick task to take them apart. Maybe once a year pulling the floor out in big sheets to do a cleaning but seems like a lot of work. My garage is epoxy (Rust Bullet) which is a pain to install but no worries on expansion, water trapped, shoving tiles, etc. These tiles in an interior room or utility shed I think is the ideal use, just have options on how to cut them and be realistic on your expectations with this very low cost flooring solution.

Bought these tiles to cover the plywood floor in our potting shed.These are well made rubber tiles for their thickness. A bit tough to cut. Utility knife and straight edge made cutting easier. The tabs really lock each tile in place. Using a mallet or banging them in with your hand.makes installation easy .Seamless looking floor. Easy to sweep and wash.

Easy to clean and sturdy.

My kitchen and bathroom floors are made of marble, which is as slippery as ice when wet. These tiles have lots of traction that even when wet, they are super safe. Nice quality and design.

The flooring is good but the box that came was one tile short. It was supposed to be the 16 pack but only came with 15. Kinda a bummer
