Default Garage floor options

just put a rubberized mat or something near the workbench area.

Can anyone share some opinions? *The amount of time/effort really
isn't that big a deal to me since I enjoy doing these things and would
put in the extra effort if the result is really what I wanted. *Just a
question of which I would be happier with.


Have you considered a rubber floor? I epoxyed mine a long time
ago and I am happy with it, If I had to do it over, I think I would
consider a rubber floor. More expensive, but less slip.
