THE HONEST VERDICT
If you own the house, epoxy is the permanent answer: bonded, sealed, no shifting edges and no trapped grit grinding your slab.
Flooring guide
Snap-together tiles are the fast DIY option. They're also a lid — everything that lands on the floor eventually ends up underneath them.
| Epoxy | Interlocking garage tiles | |
|---|---|---|
| Bonded to slab | Yes | No — it floats |
| Water & oil | Sits on top, wipes off | Runs underneath |
| Look | Built-in, seamless | Visible grid |
| Hot tires | No pickup with a polyaspartic top | Tiles can shift and mark |
| Resale appeal | Reads as a finished space | Reads as an accessory |
