However, I think that  VCT tile would be as good of a choice you could make to  park your car on.   I don\u2019t think any VCT tile manufacturer will warranty their product under these conditions but it should  hold up for quite some time.   It would be wise that  when you buy your VCT tile to buy just a little extra just so you can replace any tiles that might  crack or  get stained from the tires. Make sure that you try to drive in or back out as  straight as you can for this will help eliminate some possible damages.  One thing I think you  should know, VCT tile will be slippery when it gets wet so when you drive your car in on rainy  days be careful.This will only work in an enclosed garage and if  you are going to experience some extremely cold temperatures you might want to heat this area with a space heater.There will also be some other variables in putting  VCT tile in your garage but overall this should work fine.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Thank you for your question and feel free to call  if Carpet Express can be of any help.<br>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Mike Jones<br>\n<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Carpet Express<br>\n800-922-5582<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Question: Can the VCT tiles be successfully used for a garage floor where cars will be parked?
