Bob,
Nice job on the garage transformation! Love the "wall art", it looks like a great place for detail work or as a relaxing spot for a cool one with friends!
PVC is a great choice for light duty floors,. Durable enough for most things, but slightly softer underfoot and warmer than concrete.
I am contemplating LifeProof vinyl flooring for my next building as a friend installed it in the display area of his Car Cave and he wishes he had also put it in the mechanical area (where he does his own service work.
Enjoy!

PVC has com along way in the last few years. I had to redo the some of the exterior trim on the garage and went with all PVC boards. Of course the trim boards are not as dense as the flooring
For the floor I wanted something that was solid rather than layered, thick but not too thick, durable enough to withstand some chemicals, vehicle and floor jack, in attractive colors, and little chance of VOC (Chinese vinyl scares me. I bought a vinyl case from there once and it stunk to high heaven. I left it outside for a week and then tossed it since it didn't help).
This stuff is solid, 5MM thick, made in USA, and has no odor whatsoever.
The style is called "Leather". I guess that's somewhat apropos.
I'm sealing it with NCL industrial grade sealer and finish.
We'll see how it holds up.

Rob, before you put that sealer on, grab a sample of the remover for it and test on a sample tile. No need to ask why I share that tip...

I received samples beforehand and tried various chemicals I had lying around on them including some heavy duty cleaners and strippers. While the testing was not scientifically rigorous, it held up to all I tried, so I went with it.
Got it from
