I've been considering tile as well. Which tile did you use? Any pics?

epoxy-coat.com

though they gave me a hell of deal because, 1 economy was in the tanks when I contacted them, and I needed such a large area done.

They had a rough time, because my contractor uses serious high psi cement.

overall I am pleased with how it came out, and their work. Their is one small area, that they are going to touch up this spring.

I did a lot of research on this:

what I learned

1) get 100% solids, this gives you a thicker stronger coat
2) either shot blast or diamond grind to prep, acid prep is crap
3) if it will get wet, have them add flakes, and even some silicon sand for grip

good luck

For me the issue was cost. I'd rather have $$ in cars and bikes, than flooring. Tile was going to run $8-10 sq ft minimum.

Anybody try these...

They look good, but I wonder how the'll hold up over time.

I have the race deck plastic tiles now, but would not do it again. They move way too much, since they're not glued down. Cleaning is also a pain!

These look great, but would probably require daily sweeping and mopping to keep it looking nice. Who is actually going to do that themselves. If your rich enough you will have a staff to do it.

That looks like polished concrete to me. I don't see any seams

lol. i think i will clean it once a week but that's about it.
maybe something with matte finish like tile would be a better alternative altogether for upkeep etc.
