In the search for the perfect floor, here's another option that I think you should consider. Outside of a painted floor, this could be my favorite floor covering! First off, this semi-rigid yet flexible recycled PVC floor system is really comfortable to stand on for any length of time. Seems like the older I get, stuff like this gets more important! Its open structure also allows liquids and debris to flow or fall through... keeping your floor always looking neat and tidy! Live in an area where you bring in rain, snow and slush inside? This flooring is perfect for this environment as its non-slip design makes the floor totally safe when wet. It's also quiet to walk on, and feels great on the knees! Want to clean underneath it? Simply roll it up (it's flexible and rolls up in a snap) and sweep or hose it down clean. Great for outdoor displays too! The interlocking tiles are 12" x 12", easy to inter-connect and the 3" edge ramps to finish off the look. Great in front of sinks, kitchens, and other areas where water, oils and greases make your flooring slippery. Makes a great garage entry mat, too. Did I mention in front of work benches? (Ahhh...more comfort!) The floor even withstands jacks (but you can't move the jack around) and jack stands. 9 colors to choose from so you can dream up anything for your garage or home. Enjoy.
