Garage Floor Tiles
I'd be interested in the total per sq metre cost of mototile and polished concrete, if you're willing to say. Including cost of base screed if that was part of the job. Just want to get a sense of what these options might set me back.

At the NEC last year there were dozens of companies selling them, there's a lot to choose from. I picked the cheaper 20cm sq ones with edging like in this review https://10carbest.com/best-garage-floor-mats got them supplied and fitted them my self, took about an afternoon and a rubber mallet to fit them.
They make a massive difference regarding cold striking through plus you can walk around the floor without picking up all the dust and rubbish.
Only problem is if I park the car in the garage when it's hot the 'cats' cause the tiles to buckle due to the heat so I've had to glue down some reflective material the same as they use behind radiators to try and stop it happening, seems to work.
Mines a double garage and it cost about £550.00.

Nice job! Looks great, and you're right about all the other benefits. Still very pleased with mine.
Fortunately I haven't experienced the buckling issue maybe as mine are the heavy duty ones which are pretty thick. Did you leave a 5mm expansion gap around the edges? The fit looks fairly tight around the door pillar.
