NewsGuide.us all about Jay Leno's new garage floor

Big Dog Garage in Burbank, California & Swisstrax Ribtrax plastic garage floor tiles.

Jay Leno's Big Dog Garage was recently transformed by Swisstrax Corporation. Jay chose garage floor pads to show case his Bugatti and Duesenberg collections. Leno chose the Ribtrax interlocking floor tiles show above in slate gray and pearl silver colors. He selected a "parking pattern" placing each of his vehicles center squared on the garage floor pad. The open profile of Ribtrax facilitates easy cleaning, is durable, attractive, practical, and virtually care free.

Swisstrax garage floor pads for Jay Leno's car collection

Like a kid in a candy store, the car enthusiast in Jay Leno's Big Dog Garage is a dream come true for garage floor tile superstar Swisstrax.

Jay Leno's Bugatti Cars on top of Swisstrax Garage Floor Pads

Swisstrax Corporation, manufacturer of earth-friendly, recyclable, plastic garage floor tiles -- Swiss engineered and made in the USA -- was seeing stars this month when they visited Jay Leno's Big Dog Garage in Burbank, California.

The story began when Swisstrax President Randy Nelson read an article and saw photos of Jay Leno's Big Dog Garage in Garage Style Magazine.

Randy Nelson said, “That can’t be -- such a beautiful car collection on that floor."

Bernard Juchli, Big Dog Garage

With assistance from Don Weberg of Garage Style Magazine, Randy proceeded to meet with the people at Leno’s garage. The first person he met was Swiss born Bernard Juchli. Juchli is a mechanical genius and keeps Jay Leno's Big Dog Garage running on all cylinders. He's also one of the country's top amateur formula race-car drivers and brings home trophies from the Vintage Auto Racing Association’s (VARA) annual events. According to the Jay Leno Big Dog Garage website, Team Juchli and Leno is an automotive match made in heaven. Randy, who speaks fluent Swiss-German and French, hit it off with Bernard, and Bernard gave Swisstrax a chance to meet with Leno and demonstrate the easy installation of interlocking modular garage floor car pads in the Big Dog Garage.

Swisstrax Ribtrax Garage Floor Pads installation in progress.

Of all the garage flooring products on the market, including paint and epoxy coatings, Motor Enthusiast Jay Leno, selected Swisstrax modular garage floor tiles to place under his famous car collection. He was looking for a good looking floor solution, a durable, easy to maintain floor, and something easy to install, move, or relocate if desired.

Devin Wiltbank, Swisstrax

When Jay met with Swisstrax President Randy Nelson proof was demonstrated face-to-face by Swisstrax do-it-yourself helpers in Leno's garage. Leno's decision to choose Swisstrax was easy.

From left: Randy Nelson, Jay Leno, Christine Nelson, Jonathan Nelson, Joanna Nelson & Jordan Nelson.

Jay Leno's garage floor pad installation was handled by knowledgeable, helpful Swisstrax Staff. To demonstrate the ease of installation and modular capabilities of the durable, interlocking qualities of Swisstrax floor tiles, Randy Nelson, proud father of three, had his children install some of the interlocking floor tiles as Jay Leno observed. Randy's children ranging in age from 8 to 11 have been demonstrating the ease of Swisstrax installation since they were old enough to assemble plastic Legos. A video clip of the Nelson Children installing Swisstrax snap-together, interlocking floor tiles can be seen at http://www.Swisstrax.com.

Jay Leno asked, "How can a plastic floor tile handle a five or six thousand pound Duensenberg?" Once again, proof was demonstrated by Swisstrax.

Jay was amazed to see how easy it was to install a new garage flooring solution. And, of even greater amazement was Jay's reaction when shown the Swisstrax plastic garage floor tiles withstanding the weight of some of his vehicles weighing over 6,000 pounds. To demonstrate the strength of the Swisstrax plastic garage floor tile, a Swisstrax garage floor pad was assembled and a few of Jay Leno's classic Duesenbergs were rolled on top without any sound coming from the floor -- only 100% Swisstrax quality was seen and not heard! In fact, the modular floor tiles can hold up to 40,000 pounds in rollover weight, and they have up to 5100 pounds in compressive strength.

Swisstrax garage floor tiles are available in many colors, several styles and can be used in a variety of indoor/outdoor flooring applications which include and are not limited to garage floors, dance floors, sport floors, patio floors, trade show floors, aircraft hanger floors, pool/spa floors, plus an endless number of applications for commercial floors and high performance floors. The Swisstrax tile styles are Ribtrax, Sportrax, Diamondtrax, Floortrax, Cointrax and Ribtrax Soft. Each of the modular, durable tile styles are illustrated and explained in detail at the Swisstrax website at http://www.Swisstrax.com.

Jay Leno chose the Ribrax tile style in slate gray and pearl silver colors using a "parking pattern" placing each of his vehicles center squared on the garage floor pad. The open profile of Ribtrax facilitates easy cleaning, is durable, attractive, practical, and virtually care free.

Ribtrax are made of polypropylene copolymer and are chemical and weather resistant. Ribtrax tiles each weigh about 23.5 ounces and are 15.75 inches square. The polypropylene copolymer withstands temperatures ranging from minus -22F to +248 degrees Fahrenheit and has pressure strength of 5,120 pounds per square inch. Plus, the Ribtrax open tile pattern has non-slip surface qualities. All the Swisstrax tiles have a 12-year warranty.

Jay Leno's Big Dog Garage received a complete transformation by Swisstrax. Plus, NBC produced live video of the installation, and Jay Leno’s Swisstrax garage floor endorsement will be airing on JayLenosGarage.com soon.

"The entire team at Big Dog Garage are really great people. Jay is very knowledgeable about his entire collection and Bernard, George, Jim, Per and the others build the cars from the ground up and turn them into what is seen as one of the finest collections in the world,” said Randy Nelson.

One of the most impressive points about Jay Leno's collection is he drives all the vehicles and 80+ motorcycles. Leno takes pride in his Duesenberg collection and made the Duesenbergs the first choice for Swisstrax garage floor pads. Swisstrax garage floor pads were also installed under Jay's Bugatti collection.

Jim, Big Dog Garage

Additional floor tiles were installed in the workshop around the machines. Ribtrax anti-fatigue floor tile was especially appreciated by the workers around the larger equipment requiring constant standing and surveillance.

A new tile floor covering was also installed around the clean-up area using a combination of Swisstrax non-slip floor tiles and anti-fatigue floor tiles.

Swisstrax modular floor tiles are tested and proven to be the best interlocking, plastic, tile floor covering product on the market. Jay Leno's seal of approval confirms Swisstrax’s strategy to become the household name in modular flooring tile. It's understood Swiss engineering and design equates quality, and manufactured in the USA supports the American economy. The people at Swisstrax do whatever it takes to serve their clients. Swisstrax is customer driven, and they stand behind their product. To receive a free sample of Swisstrax floor tile, call toll free at 1-866-748-7940.

Floor Pads: Choosing the Right Color for the Task

Colorful Floor Tiles are used for Garage Floor Pads to compliment your design theme. Carrying the interior design theme to your garage floor pad creates appealing esthetics.

from Associated Content

As a custodial manager, I periodically come upon custodians using incorrect color-coded floor pads for a floor care project, because they will often express that all floor pads are the same and it really does not matter. But when you are trying to manage a staff and oversee a host of custodial projects to completion, the difference between a job task being completed on time and a job task being completed correctly, can come down to this one simple fact. In order to make a floor care job task easier for the average person to understand, this short article will help me explain the purposeful use of each color pad.

Floor pad manufacturers do not produce floor pads in different colors schemes simply as means to attract more sales with the pretty colors. Floor pad colors were introduced into the industry with a purposeful intent. Each color is meant to define a floor care pad for a specific floor care task. The color allows a floor pad manufacturer to differentiate the coarseness of the pad, the job task intent of the pad, as well as providing a means to the customer to be able to discriminate between which color pad should be used for the job task they have to complete. Although some manufacturers occasionally will attempt to introduce new colors into the marketplace, there is a standard color breakdown set in place that is universally accepted in the janitorial industry upon which most customers can rely. The standard colors of floor care pads are as follows: pink, white, beige, red, blue (green), and black.

The pink floor care pad is defined as a pad of light coarseness, which is underlined by the color which speaks of softness. The purpose of the pink floor care pad is for the pad to be utilized in burnishing a floor. With a high speed burnisher, the pink floor care pad restores sheen to the floor and redefines the high gloss look that a floor finish should provide. The reason one would utilize such a pad is to keep a floor looking shiny and new.

Game Room Coming Along Using Interlocking Garage Floor Pad

Garage Floor Pads used to create a game room with interlocking garage floor pad tiles.

from Dan ZZ

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been working on my “Game Room”–essentially a closed space in the garage that will host my MAME cabinet, pinball machine, and gaming PC, along with a treadmill for exercising. Most of the work is done and I’ve moved all the gear in.

It’s a small space, just 10×12′ but it’s plenty big enough for what’s in there. I’ve painted the walls and put down some interlocking floor pads to make the concrete easier to stand on. I’ve also hung some of my medieval themed paintings: The Accolade and Godspeed for the moment.

Still left to finish: install A/C (this will mean cutting an opening in one wall), run new wires from the garage sub-panel for a new circuit, add a plug for the machines (and another plug for tools) and then close up the rest of the drywall. Right now there’s a fluorescent fixture for light (too glaring in off the pinball glass an MAME screen) that I need to replace.

Once that’s done, let the games begin!

Swisstrax Interlocking Floor Tiles: Never Has Flooring Induced So Much Garage Envy

A whole new level of garage gear obsession. [click on image]

from Gear Patrol

If you are anything like me, then your garage serves as a multifunctional part of your home. It’s a place to park your vehicles, store your tools, hide your toys, and, just maybe, hide yourself. If your garage is anything like my garage, then its floor looks like absolute crap. Enter Swisstrax.

Originally hailing from Switzerland but now manufactured in California, Swisstrax represents Gear Patrol’s new favorite innovation from the neutral nation, coming out of nowhere to unseat Ricola cough drops and holey cheese. Swisstrax offers six different styles of tile, some of which are available in fourteen different colors. Even better, their website features a floor designer whereby you can layout a custom floor and easily order all the pieces you’ll need. Here’s a tip: the square tiles lend themselves perfectly to oversized renderings of your favorite 8-bit game characters (think Mario, the size of a Mazda).

Their various designs suit garages, workout rooms, airplane hangars, and more. Each tile features a hefty complement of snap locks to secure it to its brethren, and a four point injection molding process that allows a Swisstrax floor to withstand up to 40,000 pounds of roll-over compression. Even if you could overwhelm this floor system with the sheer bulk of your man-toys, you’d be backed by a 12 year warranty. My favorite feature is simply a function of the tiles interlocking design. Unlike other floor coatings and coverings, the tiles are inherently portable and reusable. Consider me impressed.

Gear Patrol Hands-On: GP procured Swisstrax floor tiling for hands-on testing. We pinched, pulled, stomped, and even bit the Swisstrax with all of our combined might. Nary a scratch was made. Conclusion: this is one tough tile.

Garage Floor Pad Q & A

Question: I have a two car garage; what sizes do I need to cover my entire garage floor?
Answer: There are no standards in the size of garage floors, Most will measure around the 400 square foot range. However the actual dimensions [length and width] vary from garage to garage, this affects the size of the garage floor cover you may need. "Please contact one of our experts with the dimensions of your garage floor, they will be more than glad to assist you in determining the most practical garage floor pad for your application."

Question: What is the difference between the Ribbed parking pad and/or the Coin and Diamond pattern parking pads?
Answer: The ribbed parking pad is mainly used in the northern states where ice and snow build up on your vehicle is an issue, as the snow and ice melts, the ribs help to contain and channel the debris and moisture toward the garage door, as long as there is sufficient slope to the structure/slab to allow this. The ribbed parking pad is an excellent option for this scenario; however it can be a lot harder to keep clean during the summer months ; I.E mopping, sweeping, squeegee, etc... As we have found the Coin and Diamond parking pad to be most functional in conditions where water is not such an issue and ease of cleaning is desired.

Question: Do the Garage floor covers/parking pads stay in place when a car is driven on them?
Answer: YES; the Garage floor covers/parking pads were specifically designed for the residential garage, all scenarios were considered when the Garage floor covers/parking pads were developed.

Question: Does the garage floor mat/garage floor cover curl up when it is unrolled?
Answer: NO, Once the garage floor mat/parking pad is unrolled and allowed to relax; it will lay flat on all edges; however in some instances a double sided tape may be used to prevent a tripping hazard.

Question: What is the difference between the standard grade ribbed garage floor cover and the commercial grade ribbed garage floor cover?
Answer: The difference is in the overall thickness. The standard grade garage flooring is .05" to .06" in thickness ( about the thickness of a dime ) We recommends this garage floor to be used in the areas of only occasional snowfall and used during the winter months only to keep the Garage floor from becoming too slippery and to prevent ponding water. The commercial grade ribbed garage flooring is .07" to .08" in thickness (about the thickness of a quarter) this garage flooring to be used in the areas of frequent snowfall and is suitable for year around usage, the added thickness will provide a durable garage flooring that will provide many years of service.


Question: What is the advantage of the interlocking garage floor tiles pad over the garage floor mat garage floor cover?
Answer: The advantage's of interlocking garage floor tile used as a garage floor pad, over the garage floor mat is that the tile can be assembled to achieve a pattern on the garage floor; like a checker board or a border effect, another advantage is in the overall construction itself, the tile is thicker which provides extreme durability where it is needed.

Why Protect Your Garage Floor?

By Tom Turner

There are many reasons for ensuring that you protect your garage floor. This area of your property which often gets forgotten about and is certainly going to have to put up with a lot of wear and tear through the years. Certainly if you live in an area where the winters are harsh then think about all that salt you will be getting on your garage floor every time you drive the car back into it. However, by putting down a good quality garage flooring you should help it to last that little bit longer.

Certainly the best types of garage flooring are those which are resin based such as those produced. They both provide resin based garage flooring and are resistant to a varied range of chemicals such as oil. But not only do these types of floorings protect your garage floor they also make it look great as well.

Luckily today the types of garage floorings available come in a variety of different colors so you don't need to stick to boring old grey or black. Also if you want you can add a flaking material which is normally made from stone and this will provide you with a little more grip as well as providing your garage floor with a little classier look to it. But probably the best reason for coating your garage floor with a special flooring cover is that it will help the floor to last longer. Unfortunately if you do not coat your garage floor with one of the best epoxy resins on the market today you may find that the water and oil will get into the garage flooring and after some time they will begin to eat away at it and in turn you may find yourself having to replace the garage floor completely. Also if you happen to spill anything on your new garage flooring you will find that it is much easier to clean it up.

Although there are several different types of coating for your garage floor available certainly the epoxy resin based paints are the most popular of all. The best way to see if your garage floor is able to have this paint applied to it is by carry out a very simple test. All you need do is pour some water on to your garage floor and is if it soaks into it or just stays on top. Unfortunately if the water remains on top of the garage flooring then it has been treated with a sealer and this needs to be removed before you can apply a new garage flooring paint to yours. But prior to painting on the new epoxy garage flooring resin you will need to ensure that it is completely free of dirt.

The Garage Floor Covering and How it Can Help You

Garage Floor Pad

By John Sheppard

You've got a garage, but it looks old because of the floor. The concrete is damaged, there are many cracks and you don't really have to much time to repair it. That's why an easy way to solve this problem is to get yourself a garage floor covering. There are several types of covering like: epoxy garage floor covering, vinyl floor covering, roll over floor covering and so on.

Covering your garage floor can really save you a lot of time. That's because you gain a lot of advantages by having one, among which the most important are: The garage floor looks like new in an instant, it helps you keep the garage cleaner because the dirt or any other leftovers are much easier to clean. Gas or oil spills are also easy to clean away from the covering. The smell that the gas and oil could leave is also going away faster because you can clean the floor easier. By being able to clean the floor very easy, your garage will always be clean and you won't bring dirt into your home. So this is a good reason why a floor cover is a time saver.

Another very big advantage that the garage floor covering brings is that it prevents you from slipping on a dirty concrete floor. You won't have a slippery floor with a cover because it's very easy to clean and it goes away just like that. The cover also avoids moisture because of its thermal isolation, something very useful, because no one likes to have humidity in their garage.

The easiest type of garage floor covering would be roll over floor covering. That's because you only have to buy it and then cut it exactly the way you need it and you're done. You can use this type if you don't want to make things to complicated, but the other types of coverings might be better and last longer. Anyway it's your choice what type of cover you get. Any type of cover you will use will save you a lot of time and make your garage look better. So what are you waiting for? It's about time you improved your garage floor!

Do You Need Garage Floor Coverings?

Garage Floor Coverings for any purpose!

By Tony Collins

You may think that you would only need garage floor coverings if you do any mechanical work on your car in the garage. Coverings for the floor of the garage are beneficial in many ways. They keep the garage floor looking bright and clean and many of the coverings have a fresh scent that eliminates the odor of gasoline that is quite common in garages when the door is closed. They come in many different shapes and sizes and are available in different kinds of material.

The type of covering you purchase really depends on how much of the floor you want to cover. There are coverings that you roll out to cover the entire floor. These are available in various widths and the wider ones have overlapping flaps that make it easier to join the seams so that the floor will appear as if it was laid in one piece. The wider widths of flooring do not have the flaps, but when the edges are butted together, you will still get the seamless effect. The flooring helps keep the mud from outside from getting tracked all over the concrete floor, which is much harder to clean. With this flooring, all you have to do is wash it off with an ordinary cleaner and water.

You can get tiles for the garage floor as well. These are not the same as the flooring tiles you use in the house because you don't need any additives to make them stick to the concrete. They are in squares that you match end to end and if you want to make sure that there are no open seams, you can seal them with construction adhesive. You do have to wipe the excess adhesive from the tiles, but rubbing alcohol does this removal quite well.

If you only want a small area of the floor covered, you can get small mats to fit under the tires of the car or under the whole car. Inside the garage all the mud and snow from the street will melt onto the garage floor, causing a stain when you move the car. Also, you never know when some fluid may leak from the vehicle and stain the floor.

To some people, the garage is their workshop, so they want to be as clean as possible. You want everything to be neat and tidy and prevent accidents caused by slipping on wet concrete. The flooring that is suitable for garages is slip-resistant, which eliminates any danger of slipping and the cushioning effect of the flooring is quite comfortable for walking or standing on.

Do Not Let Your Garage Floor Get Damaged, If You Can Help It

By John Sheppard

Almost everyone that lives in a house has a garage. But not everyone cares about their garage. And let's be honest, most of the garages don't look too well. Some people really don't care because they think that the garage is only for storage or for the car and that no one can see how the garage looks. However, I am sure that people who spend a lot of time in their garage, usually end up spending a lot of time working on their vehicle, and they do care a lot about how their garage looks.

If you spend a lot of time in your garage, your garage door will be open very often. It is very likely that everyone who passes by will see your garage and what's inside it. That's why you want to make a change and make your garage look much better. The first thing which will drastically change the look of your garage is a garage floor coating.

If you install a coating on your garage floor, this will have many advantages. The fact that it makes it look better isn't the only good thing about garage floor coatings. If your concrete is damaged or has cracks or uneven spots, a garage floor coating will hide everything. Not only that, but it will also protect your concrete from further deterioration.

Another thing you will love to hear if you work a lot in your garage is that a garage floor coating will be much easier to clean than the concrete itself. Working on a vehicle can end up with spilling all kinds of fluids like oil on the floor, which are very hard to remove from the concrete. If you have a garage floor coating, you will be able to remove any stains without a headache.

There are more types of garage floor coatings. Some of them are: epoxy garage floor coating, vinyl garage floor coating, interlocking garage floor coating, roll over floor coating and so on. The most common and one of the best garage floor coatings is the epoxy garage floor coating. It isn't very easy to install, you have to watch out for a few things before you install it, but if you do it right it will last for a very long time and it will protect the concrete very well. Moreover, it will give your garage a gorgeous look. So, if you want your garage to look good, the first thing to do is install a garage floor coating.

What Type of Garage Floor Covering Should You Select?

By David Karlson
So, you have a garage and you want it to last. You want to protect the floor from grease, oil and all other spills and marks that can occur in a busy garage setting. What type of garage floor covering should you consider purchasing?

There are many different types of garage floor covering options for you to consider. You can choose floor tile that is available in many different types of materials. You can even paint your floor with a special type of floor paint.

There are mats available in many different sizes. This form of garage floor covering is quite simple to install as you just throw it on the floor wherever you want it. This is probably the easiest way to cover your garage floor.

If you choose to paint your garage floor, make sure you purchase the right kind of paint for the job. The paint is a special epoxy that is designed to protect the floor from spills and general wear and tear.

A good garage floor covering can save you money in the end because it will be protecting your concrete. It will also act as a safety feature in preventing people from slipping on the wet or slippery concrete.

If you choose tile as your garage floor covering, you will have many choices in patterns and colors to choose. An interlocking floor tile (shown above) is quite easy to install and does not take a lot of time to install either. It can also be used in a basement or workshop as it is not limited to use in the garage.

A garage floor covering will also allow you to keep the floor much cleaner as a covering is easier to clean than the concrete base. If you happen to spill some gas or oil, it is a whole lot easier to clean off a covering than it is off a concrete floor.

If you have always desired to have your garage floor looking like a showroom floor then that is the way to go. You will be able to impress your friends and relatives with your new garage floor.

In conclusion, if you are not happy looking at your concrete floor or it is starting to look shabby then why not consider installing a garage floor covering. These covers are excellent for protecting a concrete floor and for giving your garage a clean new look.
