Post Installed tiles in my garage this weekend

I finally got around to installing tiles in my garage this weekend. I've been meaning to do so all summer before winter rolls around. I considered epoxy, racedeck garage tiles, and vct tiles. After considering installation time, durability, appearance, and cost per sq. ft I went with vct tiles.

~400 sq. ft. for your average 2 car carage
~$400 in materials
4-6 hours installation time

I suggest knee pads and gloves when laying down the tiles. Overall I'm pleased with how the garage turned out. As you can see the cars are very happy

Nice job!!

Why didn't you install at a diagonal for a more dramatic effect?

I considered installing the tiles diagonally. In the end I got too lazy since it would require cutting more tiles around the edge and wasting pieces.
