Thanks for the idea's and links, things like floor paint coming up / tyres leaving marks on them was the type of stuff i was looking to find out about so i would know what to avoid. I looked into the tiles and maybe my math is wrong but it would require about 400 tiles to cover the floor? which would cost £1,000
I hope i just missed a trick with the math side of things? Each square is 33cm x 33cm and the floor is 650cm x 750cm. I guess the benefit is that it will be less cold vs. laying on concrete in the winter. May also hold in heat better i guess. If that is the correct math though, i think i will likely have to stick with floor paint at about £40 for a 5 litre tin. Do like the idea of tiles now though.
