In my build we have plastered walls and ceilings. I just need to sort out the floor and I've been wavering for the last few weeks.
There is a 10mm gap between plasterboard and floor. The area is about 50m2.
One minute I want a resin floor but worried that it is only 4mm thick. Surely that won't survive a floor jack of any sort
Then there is the MMA which is a bit stronger but also twice the price and no thicker
Then there are floor tiles which I'm worried about because although they are 8mm thick and therefore will give a nice clean edge to teh room , I think the edges and connectors will always get bits of swarf and oil from the mill and lathe stuck between and won't be easy to clean
Not enough depth for screed
Also must have emailed/left messages for about ten different companies in Kent/SE in the last two weeks, with pictures and dimensions and not a single reply.
Decisions decisions. Although they are very nice decisions to have
I think I might have overdone it a little Just bought 12 48W led panels for the roof of the 50m2 room There is a 10mm gap between plasterboard and floor. The area is about 50m2.

I don't want to have to use a worklight.
Just half the garage in shot. It’s definitely not too bright.

Will you be covering the walls with framed photos?
It's always difficult knowing where to get decent photos from, though.It's not a car specific site, and i don't know if it has tonnes of car stuff, but some of the designs are spectacular.
I have 4 genuine Jaguar framed pictures of the F Type concept in my garage, amongst other things.

I’m actually undecided, might just put this one photo of my favourite road trip moment in the Exige:
I'm impressed that people have space for pictures. All my walls rammed with shelves, bikes, storage etc. I have a small ish "tasteful" picture from the 80's and that is going to have to go soon to make room for a bike rack and a work mate that are being relocated from another part of the garage due to another workbench being installed.
te that was in there before

Have you got a before and after picture?
AMAZING TRANSFORMATIONJust used heavy duty carpet tiles on the floor, glued the outside ones and left the middles loose so if they get damaged i can swop them.
Spilt some paint on a couple, jetwashed them and you wouldnt know now!
