That was the 2 part epoxy that I was going to put on the floor. Nice enough price and reviews were not too bad on it.

Steve not in flooring but we use it a lot. In very confined spaces of high,density traffic. I have seen Amtico with 25 year domestic warranty last 18months , but other stuff last 6 months especially Mondo Pave , anything rubbery will stretch under wheels and then bubble !
The epoxy is the stuff used in factory's for walkways in nice colours you can attack it with hammers it survives.local authorities use it as it's piss and poo proof!

Personally I in fact think painted concrete is just fine , all the other stuff is fine until you want to hammer some thing etc etc

Well mine is coming along, walls painted and floor put in last week. I used Ecotile and very impressed so far.

Just some Dura units to go in and bike wall mounts

Floor looks good

Yep not cheap, but they are nice. They would be for life though! I need to get the garage extended forwards about 10ft so I can fit a few more things in. Won't be for a while though.
