After 20 years of repairing cars and bikes, the concrete floor of my garage was in a pretty sorry state, clouds of dust coming up from it and I'd been looking around for something to repair/replace it. I saw this stuff and as it's rated for cars and forklifts I thought I'd give it a try.
Floor tiles
They were easy to lay, took me about two hours to do a 4x5 metre garage, including cutting around shelving. That was about two months ago and so far I'm very impressed. Anything spilled on it just wipes off, it mops clean and easily takes the weight of the bikes. I do put a small steel plate down under the centre stands as they wreck just about anything over time. I've had no issue with wet tyres sliding on it, it seems to be pretty grippy.
It was cheaper than screeding the floor or many other options I'd looked at. All in all I'd recommend it if you're thinking about flooring a garage or workshop.

Yup, did one of my garages with the thicker version of that stuff, about 1/2" thick, when I had a refurb about ten years ago. Also convinced the wife that patio doors across the front would be so much nicer looking that the old up and over garage door, was only after they had had been fitted that it dawned on her the car would no longer be able to get in. Oh dear suppose I'll *have* to use it for the bikes now then?

I think this is probably the same, it's at least 1/2" thick, very sturdy.

When I built my mancave/garage/workshop inside the barn, there was already a 20ft square concrete pad there but it had only been roughly tamped, with peaks and troughs about 20mm deep, but I got some of the deep fill floor leveller compound - doddle to mix and apply, did a cracking job too. Still looking good 5 years on.
