This seems to be a common request, but few of the threads have anything too conclusive, so here we go again:
Ive just finished my new shed and want to cover the floor (caberfloor on base frame with 100mm insulation in the frame). I want to cover the floor in something rubber. Soft underfoot but hard wearing, easy to clean.
I want it wall-to-wall, so under workbenches.. Not just a 'fatigue mat'.
I don't want to glue it down as I might take it off one day and don't want to destroy the floor in the process.
Im worried about the material 'compressing' under the weight of workbenches if its too thick/soft.
Also (a little) worried about damage from sparks (eg. from angle-grinding).
Here are my options:
14mm rubber/resin tiles

OR
15 or 20mm gym mats (polyurethane)

OR
10/11mm EVA foam mats

What do you guys think?
I know people on here have had a good experience with the horse-box style rubber flooring (similar to option 1). Any other experience?
