Was searching old threads but not finding what I was looking for, so will start anew one. Apologies if this is not correct forum.
I just built a 12 x 40 garage addition onto existing side of a one car garage, the back 16 ft are my new workspace (12 x 36 lathe, 8 x 32 mill, 6 x 12 surface grinder, 4 x 6 saw, welder, etc.). Walls/ceilings are insulated, drywalled, and now painted, with 6 220 outlets and a dozen double 120 outlets, new lights, so ready to move the machines in. Last thing I was wondering about was coating the concrete floor with epoxy or clear sealer. I want something that will stand up to the hot chips, the truck parked in front of the machine area, and will be easy to sweep (or maybe even mop) up.
Was even toying with idea of peal/stick vinyl tiles, but afraid the hot truck tires or casters (with the small space everything is on wheels) would mess them up.
What have you done to your shop floor and did it hold up?
