Shop floor covering systems

PS: For six gallons I paid $541 which included shipping to Washington state. When the floor gets beat up enough you can recoat it with the same stuff. I don't think you can do that with standard epoxy systems.

What colors are available?

In my thinking with the standard epoxy systems the top coat is really what sees the abuse instead the color coating and the chips. What I have been wondering is can there be another top coat rolled over the old top coat?

We have done concrete counter tops for kitchens. Some very durable stuff. The clear coat on the top finish is of 100% solids epoxy. You might look into this stuff if your budget allows. It's a two part mix 50/50. A cave man can do it if the cave man that poured the floor did it level to start with. This stuff lays flat and you can make it as thick as your pocket book allows.

Which system are you speaking about? The one rapom65 is talking about?

How many votes for the good old 18" black and white linoleum peel and stick checkerboard tiles? Any drawbacks besides it being .69 a square foot?

I work for a auto glass center and we have a customer who owns a food service company. At their place they have a nice shop with the black and white linoleum on the floors in their fleet service area. I was looking at their floors not long ago because I have been on the watch out for covering in shops. The linoleum is not holding up to the abuse in which it receives. The area where most activity (jack stands, floor jack) has been replaced with solid black tile. It no longer has a checker board appearance. They just replaced the damaged tile with black tile most likely what they had left over. Also where the expansion joints are located under the tile it has caused the tile to crack. In short I wouldn't use it unless it is foot travel only with no expansion joints.
