Hi all
I would just like to get your advise on the best flooring options for a garage/utility area. I would like it to be as tough and durable as possible as I use the area for various purposes (workshop, washing machine, parking car, etc). The floor is currently just bare concrete.
Quarry tiles seem to be a good option, but the job may be a bit ambitious for a DIY newbie like me who has never even mixed mortar before! Rubber tiles look very easy to lay and very durable, but frighteningly expensive (around £40 per square metre at Screwfix - anyone know any cheaper ones??). I guess that most other options - laminate/wood, vinyl, cork, etc would not be tough enough for my requirements, but that's one reason for posting - maybe I've overlooked other options.
Please just let me know what you think and what you would do! Thanks very much for anyone who has taken the time to read my post.
All the best
Jon
