Floor finish reccomendation for a shop

[ForceFed70]

What would you reccomend? Stained concrete?

I want something that I can pressure wash, weld, drag heavy metal objects across, etc. I don't think epoxy will stand up and I'm not the type of person to spend time putting somethign down to protect my floor. IE: Blocks of wood under a jack stand, blanket where I'm welding, etc.

What would you reccomend? It's just a workshop, so it doesn't need to be too fancy, but would like something nicer than raw concrete.

Thanks!

I had the same dilemma and I decided to go with a concrete densifier. I haven't applied it yet, so I can't tell you how well it works, but it seemed like the only thing that would stand up to welding, sharp or dropped objects, etc. I'm hoping I can get a Home Depot type look without excessive polishing. I'm sure epoxy probably looks a lot better and resists oil better, but I also didn't want to have to protect the floor while working. I got the one from Legacy Industrial. Euco Diamond Hard has also gotten decent reviews.
