The deck can be taken up, long warranty, can`t be any harder to work on than bare concrete, plus it can be designed. And if you want to, you can un-install and take it with you. Might still be the best choice.
The only thing that concerns me is water/salt, etc. under the decking eventually (and how it impacts the concrete surface). I`m sure the decking holds up. Folks say they use floor jacks on it with no issue, jack stands and the like. I have a sample and it is stout stuff. The install also seems a lot less difficult than epoxy, as the prep. is essentially down to sweeping the floor clean.
Thx. for the info about the tile. If there was a good really, non-slip version, I`d do that. The price is right, for sure. Plus, you can do the patterns like the RaceDeck.
Other opinions..........please chime in.
See ya. :wavey
