I'll let the concrete base dry well before considering any coating thoughh. Due to be all completed next June, cant wait!

Get it power floated to get a really dense hard surface.

Its my ideal work space that Ive wanted for years. Our current single garage, like most peoples is fit to burst. Along with my Mini there's a motorbike and all the usual detritus. This will allow for the storage aspect, working area around ramps and a place where I can bring another car inside in order to polish /detail it.

You might want to look at Twin Busch two post lifts as have a serious eye on them.

Hi,

Just to add to the mix.
I am kitting out a new garage, looking at an SJR 4 post lift, 2.5m wide (lots of positive reviews on pistonheads) with room next to it for another car plus a rubber stud type flooring :https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Metal-Eff...r=413015354470

I used those interlocking big dug ones in a black and white check pattern.
The only problem is the white which is actually a light grey ones have become a bit discoloured

I spilled a litre of PVA glue on the floor of my old garage. As I was in a hurry to go somewhere, I just put some builders sand on it to dry it up. I for got about it and when I brushed the excess sand off, I was left with a great, non-slip waterproof surface over a couple of metres of floor! I was tempted to do the lot but never did. That piece of floor (which was in the entrance by the side door) remained good for all the time I was in the property.

I've read pva mixed with water then spread over concrete is a good sealant. Just have to be sure of best ratio.

Went with plastic floor tiles from these guys https://duramat.co.uk/product/duratile-grey/ They look to be pretty good and clip togther very securely.

Biggest Job of course was emptying the junk out of the garage to do the job. I used a table saw for most of the straight cuts and a regular wood saw for most of the other cuts. Looks good and is something I have always wanted. The proof of the pudding will be when I put the car in there to work on this winter!

Some photos attached.

Hey there just wondering how the floor is looking now it’s had some use?
