If I was going to put rubber snap together tiled flooring in my shop how durable is it? I live in Manitoba with cold winters so there will always be snow and road salt in there. Also how well can it support a roller jack lifting a car and jackstands? Will there be indents in the floor afterwards?? I love the checker board look and this is the best idea for my shop as one side of the concrete floor was poured a long time ago and is not as smooth as the other (single garage turned into double).

You will still require some type of pad material to be placed on the tiles. I use salvaged OSB for all four corners for the jack stands, and one for the pump jack to spread the load as well as to prevent any denting, marring, or puncture.

And I am using flat tiles as well, if you're entertaining laying down the tiles that have holes in them, then for sure you need to lay down some sort of wood on top first.

Otherwise there will be a big dent where the jack stand feet are . . .
