Title: Waterproof FLOR tiles for under your tires while parked
Post by: Roger & Susan in Home2 on February 19, 2017, 10:51:20 am
Try these 1/2 M (19") square FLOR tile to put under your tires when you are parked.  Outlet tiles are only $1 each and free shipping today.

Yup, pressure washer cleans them right up.  We have parked on them when the coach is in the barn for a year now.  They look like new still.

Thats a great deal, as we paid from $28.00 to $35.00 per square for ours in dinning room and DW office.  Great product.  Had a few squares left over and made an entry area rug for the back door when it rains for the dogs to enter on.  I believe you could almost pressure wash these things with moderate pressure (Small Ryobi pressure washer would work great) as they are very tough.  May do something in the coach entry area to use when it rains and the dogs come in as it gets irritating to continually wash throw rugs from traffic on a daily basis.

We have half our garage floor covered in them along side car and storage cabinets. Work good but take some time to dry the carpet top once wet and that is why none under car footprint. I think the "waterproof" means they do not rot as water does wick between  joints and carpet side stays wet. (If same as we have- and look like it)

Waterproof in the sense that the bottom of the tile is vinyl or something like that and is impermeable.  Moisture will not wick up through it or down either.  Carpet side is mostly nylon or another manmade carpet fiber.  At $1 each it is hard to go wrong.

I used vinyl floor leftovers for a while but they come apart after awhile, half stuck to the floor, the other half to the tires. 

I thought about doing parts of my woodworking shop in these, easier on your feet after a whole day and easier on sharp tools if and when (mostly when) I drop them or knock them off the bench.

These might make a good material for a coach basement floor or even the coach floor too.

I used to use the plastic floor protectors for desks. Had them delivered for one of them and three others came from an old office.

I'm using semi-truck mud flaps as ground pads. Fell off the back of a truck. No really. ;D
I've picked up a full set along the side of the road.
