Default Garage Floors - Tiles?

I've tried searching for this multiple times, and every time I try, the search is broken

I'm looking for smooth tiles for my garage floor, I know a company, I thought VHT, makes them that you glue to the floor, but I have not been able to locate them. I know the company or type of tile starts with V, but its not VHT.

I know there were several pics in this forum of the exact tiles, every pic I've seen has had black and white tiles.

Any help would be appreciated

another idea that i'm putting in my garage is Premier Garage floor coating:

http://www.premiergarage.bz/httpdocs/html/flooring.html
(1/4" Sedona with custom cabinets from another business)

online, this looks like your typical home depot ****, but in person looking at these floors from a distance looks like granite and up close (standing on it) looks like a very well done garage floor. its very durable too. a few family friends have it in there garage with maseratti's/ferraris/aston martins and such parked on it.


and it's going in this garage:

Looks great.

How do you like the tiles so far? Are they slippery at all when they are wet or there is any sort of fluid on them? I assume they clean up easy.

How have they been holding up? Would you trust a jackstand on them with a ton of weight?

It cost me $300 to do the whole garage including the glue. They hold up and clean up well. If you destroy one some how, all you do is heat it up, take it out and replace it. They are 60 cents each. Oil can get slippery but cleans up very easily. If you have the floor burnished and sealed, it will hold up really well. Have it buffed every once in a while and it will look like a show room for a long time. Jack stands are fine but get the ones with a flat bottom on the corners.
