When i bought my house, I had this crazy plan for my garage. 2 years later, the only thing done so far is painted cabinets. I finally got my estimate for my toolboxes from snap-on and i am now looking at doing up the walls and the flooring. As of now, the floor is unpainted and really clean and i want to put some tiles. I am looking at ceramic and also porcelain tiles. I heard that I need to use some kind of flexing agent in my bonding agent to prevent the tiles from craking... anyone has inputs regarding laying tiles in my garage?
 
Same situation here, just bought a house with a bigger garage and will be finishing the floor next.
I decided to go with porcelain tiles 8x8 because they will last forever and their smaller size Will prevent them from flexing.
I have roughly 800sq ft to do and use my garage mostly to wash my cars.
This si the tile ill be using..

exactly, racedeck is garbage if you want to wash or work in the garage, cracks get filled with junk quickly. i am looking at getting some 12X18 tiles probably in ultra shiny white
 
Racedeck carries free flow tiles which are made for washing cars. They have a drain system that will force the water into the drain.

I had porcelain installed at my parents, the agent has to be installed around the garage door so that when it gets really cold they won't crack. I spoke to an specialist in Ontario for the best thinset and agent and picked everything at home depot.

I had the garage done by a pro, it was pricey but well worth it. It took him 3 days to do a double garage ( 20x20 ) and haven't had any issues in over a year.

Nothing beats tiles for an easy to maintain garage floor.
Ya sure the Racedeck FF tiles are nice and will evacuate water trapped in between but nothing beats getting the mop out and just mopping the floor.
