Another "Flooring Suggestions" post.

[Willypu]

Looking for suggestions. My 2 story shop burned down in a wildfire in 2020. The foundation was salvageable and a new should is going up on the old foundation. The problem is the floor of the old foundation looks like a moonscape from all of the burning **** that fell on it. The local epoxy company walked away today saying the floor needed to be resurfaced and they would not spend the time to fill the pock marks. Fair enough.

I know we have several members and venders here and I am looking for workable solutions. The shop will be used for wood working, car maintenance and restoration (ok with welding blankets so I don't damage flooring) and DIY projects. I like to be able to roll my tools on carts and use a creeper although I will have a 2 post lift. We live on a ranch with a 2 mile dirt (mud in winter) road so I need to be able to hose it off. Of course I am budget minded after all the fire expenses.

What suggestions do you all have? Thank you in advance!

Jim

Racedeck? Eliminates any need for fixing the surface and you'll never have a peeling issue that so many people report

If you can get the floor free of large bumps, RaceDeck diamond would be a great option

A little off topic but I have to say I love the exterior of your shop. It’s a unique look, love the extended awning and the bumpout with a different siding.

I'll second the vote for RaceDeck diamond tiles. My previous garage held a pretty busy woodturning operation and the floor worked great. I have FreeFlow now in Idaho, but I don't do woodworking anymore. Here's the old shop:

We can set you up with a slurry epoxy that you can float out to improve it greatly. No way to make perfectly smooth unless a self leveler is poured. If high spots Han be grimes and low spots skimmed with concrete our www.Supratile.com could also be a solution.
