Small garage project

After years of messing with floor paint and carpet tiles where the wheels stood I bit the bullet and laid porcelain floor tiles. From memory it cost me c£600 which at the time was on a par for the interlocking plastic tiles. This was for a double garage. They’ve been down about 10 years now and proved very resilient. I’ve used trolley jacks and axle stands on them.
Over here in the States there are companies who apply an epoxy based coating (and other stuff) on concrete garage floors. I had my 3 car garage done a couple of years ago and the floor still looks as new.The process consists of grinding the concrete floor down to remove the top layer. Then an epoxy was poured into the concrete. The next step was to broadcast special vinyl "chips" while the epoxy was still wet. These chips give the garage floor whatever color you want. Excess “Chips” were then removed and a coat of some mixture of urethane and or epoxy was poured and leveled.
You can use a floor jack on the surface without any issues.
Add a couple of photographs of the “Grinder” and the floor.
