Isn't that for expansion? My floor in FL has similar ones, but not as wide. They epoxied right over them but they aren't filled in

Self leveling sealant. Get the big tubes
That be an expansion joint and they make rubber tees just for that. You start and stop tile. Just like your reducer at the door.
@mattybfat what if I have an area that is constantly wet, especially after storms. Looks like hydraulic pressure. Can I still put this stuff down?
As long as its dry when install and cures your good to go.
id imagine thats a bad idea if you actually do work on your car in the garage, one dropped wrench and youll have cracked porcelain tiles . . .
but then im going to have this giant X in my garage and right in the middle... ugh

I posted a link earlier with a pic of a garage with tiles. Don't know what they are made of (not porcelain) but he claims they won't crack.

I'm probably going to put something like this over my epoxied floors since I'm guessing the car traffic and elements is what's damaging the epoxy?

You're going to put down something to protect the thing that's protecting the floor? [/Confused]
But what will you put down to protect the rubber flooring that's protecting the epoxy?

yeah but to roll out a layer this under each car would take less than an hour vs days to refinish an epoxy floor. As Matty, said the epoxy is only good for 5-10 years where there is the most traffic with the cars. Foot traffic which won't have the rubber flooring will likely last me till I leave this house.
