Workshop flooring

Show us your workshop flooring the good, the bad the ugly!

Just put £25 of Halfords tiles down 8x6' - comfy and insulating.
Power tools are at the edge of the garage.

1" thick OSB, unfinished, 2x10 joists on 1' centres. The shop is above the garage and has a couple inches of spray foam under the floor, not for heat but to seal out car exhaust. The place was built in 2016 and someday I would like to lay a hardwood floor or apply an epoxy finish. No hurry though as the bare OSB has lots of traction.

Oops, forgot the picture.

My floor still has the 8mm laminate flooring as it used to be a 2 nd bedroom. Underneath that is the original floor from the 60,s -approximately 1 inch of asphalt laid over a concrete slab. In the hot weather the asphalt would warm up and anything heavy would leave indents -hence the laminate flooring.

Flooring samples from a closing down flooring store. Total pain in the butt, all different thicknesses and T&G dimensions, had to re-do about half the T&G. Cheap to buy, expensive in hours to fit.

Hard plastic material with a checkerplate finish - the tiles are about 500mm square and interlock, with tapered edges to avoid tripping. At the moment I don't have enough for the whole floor - I got them when the bike shop I managed closed, they were just in the workshop area. When I get round to it I'll get some more and finish the workshop. Surface is pretty much non-slip and seems to cope with spillages etc.

Workshop is part woodwork and part for my bicycle repair/servicing business which tends to have degreasers and oil dripping onto the floor (I have a large, disposable, sheet of corrugated cardboard under the bike workstand)

Mine has cheap laminate from B&Q. Looks lovely but the surface is very brittle and everything I drop leaves painful memories...
