as you who have seen the shop area before, it is now much expanded, we are waiting for another lift to be installed and then will refinish the floor, we are between epoxy and concrete polishing. Please does anyone have an opinion on either method?Attached Image

Likely not legal for a commercial shop and/or recommended use, but I have a couple friends who have ceramic tile floors.
They bought the tile on sale and both bought a couple extra boxes in case they break a tile.

I actually think that the mercedes dealer here has a ceramic floor. The epoxy just has never, like everyone says, lasted, and starts to look like hell after is chips a few times. I see all of the grocery stores not polishing the concrete, that is why I was thinking bout doing it.
