Garage Floor Tiles Superstar Swisstrax Meets Big Dog Garage

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The best way to test garage flooring, get a Ferrari F430. [Courtesy: Swisstrax]

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.

Swisstrax Interlocking Floor Tile Receives Official Endorsement from 3 Time Indy 500 Winner BOBBY UNSER

Bobby Unser's Aircraft Hanger and SwissTrax Floor Tiles

from PR-USA

After introducing their product into the aircraft industry with displays at fly-ins and air shows across the nation, Randy Nelson of California-based Swisstrax says that aircraft hangar sales and installations are "flying"! Swisstrax is the manufacturer and sole distributor of their interlocking floor tiles to North America and also sells its product to companies in Central and South America, Australia, Korea, Japan and Europe.

Their Ribtrax interlocking floor tile is recommended for most aircraft hangar installations, with a rollover weight of over 50,000 lbs. and a rating of up to 5100 psi. It is an open-profile tile, allowing for dust to settle below, leaving the surface clean. It can then be vacuumed or hosed out seasonally or as desired.

Randy met Bobby and Lisa Unser at last year's Oshkosh, Wisconsin EAA fly-in. Impressed with the product, Mr. Unser asked to have Randy produce some design options, which he did and they all agreed on three different and unique designs.

The Unsers had approximately 6000 square feet of Swisstrax installed in three applications -- Ribtrax in both Bobby's and Lisa's airplane hangars and Diamondtrax for their garage flooring.

Unser has compiled one of the most impressive lists of accomplishments in American racing history and Swisstrax is honored to have received an endorsement from the racing legend.

"We are so happy with the results of the Swisstrax floor in the hangers and garage. It was so hard to imagine what the final product would look like but when it was done it was so much more beautiful than we originally imagined.

When I met you at the Oshkosh, Wisconsin EAA fly-in your product was very impressive in your display. And when we talked about our hangers and garage I thought this just might be the answer to painted floors that peel and the ugly grey cement that the oil and hydraulic drips never get wiped up under the airplane.

The next step that had us worried was the design. I know you asked us several times for ideas but never having designed geometric flooring we were lost. But then it was Randy to the rescue with a bunch of intricate garage floor and aircraft hangar designs to choose from, it would have taken us a lot more time to design them ourselves. Randy's input is invaluable. My 40 ford looks so dynamic with the grey/black garage flooring design.

Swisstrax gave us so much more freedom to get the design and type of flooring that far surpassed our expectation. When expert tile installers came I have to admit they made it look easy. In the two short days both aircraft hangers and the garage floors were completed with a little time to spare for the install guys to visit the Unser Racing Museum here in Albuquerque and a lively auto racing discussion or two.

This has been the best decision I have ever made on my garage and hanger. I just wish I had done it sooner. In my racing days I required all of my garage floors to be neat and tidy just like my race cars and this would have been the best solution of all.

Thanks Randy for a fine job well done.
