I own an automotive aftermarket retail store. About 2,000 sq ft of our showroom space is located in part of the building that was previously used as a landscapers garage and a variety of vehicle-related uses for many years before that.
The concrete floor (about 2,000 sq. ft) is pretty saturated with oils and gas, so we hired someone to prep and epoxy the floor to make it look better. The result is that the epoxy never completely stuck, so the old floor is showing through in quite a few areas.
We've talked to a variety of flooring companies and they've all told us that there isn't much they can do with the floor. One company suggested a floating floor but ended up quoting us $16K, all in, which we can't afford to spend on a building we don't own.
That recently led me to start thinking about Racedeck-type flooring, since it seems I can install that with the floor as-is. I can also do sections at a time to space out the cost.
I never knew how many different brands of tiles are out there. I absolutely need to keep the cost per square foot down, so I've been looking at the Garage Deck product.
Since I ended up stumbling across this site I thought I'd outline the problem and see if anyone here has solved the same problem and learn from their experience. I'm also open to recommendations on products to use, keeping in mind that cost is a significant factor.
