Shop Flooring

[Rawhide]

Just a question to pose to all of you.

What type of flooring do you have in your shops? What you prefer to have if you don't have it yet?

Thanks,

Marlon

Marlon,

I have a raw concrete floor which is dusty. I'd love to uncover it the stuff stacked and packed and seal it with an epoxy or other sealer then re-apply my snap together cushion pads for my traffic area. That makes it easier for cleaning and standing.

Marlon,

My shop is a long single car garage - concrete floor. I like the concrete under the sewing machine for oil drips. I like concrete at my tooling area, so my chair can roll easily. Around the work bench and cutting table I put down those anti-fatigue mat squares from the building supplier/big home improvement places. They are squares that interlock. Makes a nice surface to stand on, and forgiving for blade tools that might fall.

I have linoleum here, better than the carpet in my last place!

Painted concrete right now but I want to put down rubber or carpet of some kind, I got a cataloge the other day from a company called FLOR they make carpet squares that are stuck to adhesive dots at the corners, if they get messed up they are just washed in the machine or replaced, sounds good so far. They have indoor and outdoor or garage strength stuff also.

Rawhide,

I use horse stall mats, kinda keeps the cold from the floors, my stool/chair rolls on it and I can clean with a broom/mop.

Concrete at the moment. I do tho have marine carpet by my main bench. It saves standing on cold concrete, saves dropped tools, is extremely hard wearing and sweeps easily. I am eyeing off these hard rubber clip together mats we have over here now it is rainy season. I guess they are the modern version of duckboards. I do like hardwood floors tho

My shop has a concrete floor, not good to stand on and hard on tools if they are dropped. I use rubber horse trailer mats, I have used these for years now. they are great to stand on all day, much better for your feet that concrete, and if you accidentally drop a knife or edger you will not hurt the tool.
