Those will be good, but IMHO the plastic is better for general jobs. Although I'm probably just paranoid about shorting out electrics when working with them.
I love these threads, it's great to see how everyone manages their space and acts as a great inspiration and sower of seeds for ideas.
Over the years we've gone from on road parking to off road parking which was a massive move, then from a tiny garage that couldn't really accommodate a modern car but allowed you just to get the nose in to do engine work out of the rain which was a huge bonus. Having any sort of garage is such a luxury really, to be able to work on a vehicle out of the rain or even just being able to polish something in the dry without it raining on it instantly!

I use carpet tiles in my garage, when they get a bit dirty I replace them, it helps I work in construction and every now and then come across some tiles that are being stripped out.

Exactly...everyone has different circumstances, and I dont know anyone who started out with a 6 bay luxury garage at 18 years old Over the years we've gone from on road parking to off road parking which was a massive move, then from a tiny garage that couldn't really accommodate a modern car but allowed you just to get the nose in to do engine work out of the rain which was a huge bonus.

I started out with my bike under a cover in mums back yard, then I was well chuffed when I got my own place with off street parking and a shed. Later on in life I finally achieved the dream to have a house with a garage AND a separate timber workshop for all the DIY/garden/cycle stuff.
Its great to have a tidy clean place to work on the bike, whatever that space is

Got the idea from a thread on here last week about flooring and I've laid some carpet tiles. Probably going to be a nightmare to brush off and keep clean but better than the old patchy painted concrete.
Just need to sort the shelving/workbench crap out now.

A designated Dyson is key......
