How to protect lp prostruct flooring?

[mromgcorey]

I recently had an 8x10 shed built with lp prostruct flooring.

I'm using the shed to store lawn equipment and anything else that may track in dirt or oil.

Is there a particular way to protect this type of floor or make it easier to clean?

Perhaps Vinyl mats or a polyurethane coating would suffice?

Tractor supply or a local farm supplier should sell horse stall mats. They are thick easy to clean and are very tough.

I'd just throw down a couple coats of porch paint.

From the LP installation instructions:

LP ProStruct Flooring with SmartFinish has been aesthetically
designed as a finished shed flooring product. It is not intended
to receive a floor covering, paint or coating.

I wonder if "not intended" means "unnecessary" or "don't do it"? Guessing the former, but it may mean that it has some coating already that might make paint not stick as well?

Thats what I was thinking. It would be pretty easy to pick up the phone and call and ask. Or e-mail if you are adverse to talking to people
