Currently looking at flooring alternatives for a 2k sqft car porch.
Current porch was tiled many years ago (6"x6" type).
Considered plain concrete or re-tiling but they are too mainstream.
Looked at epoxy but it is overpriced (epoxy costs about the same as concrete in other countries but is x2 the cost of tiles here).
Really wanted to go for SPC Flooring but was told that it's not suitable outdoor.
And then I looked at wet pour of SBR & EPDM rubber flooring (those running track type) but no reviews as to whether it lasts long or not under car pressure.
Anyone did their outdoor flooring differently?

Concrete paver tiles (like pedestrian sidewalk) will be hardwearing and less prone to cracking. https://www.sunwaypavingsolutions.com/produ...oncrete-pavers/This post has been edited by ceo684: Dec 23 2020, 09:24 PM

Not sure how they are laid, but Im guessing using sand?

from lazada, 5liter of expoxy is rm100, cover 40-60sqf/liter assume 50sqf lah your is 2000sqf. so need 8 cans. = rm800
probably this is the most economic solution jor

I still prefer the original developer concrete imprints because it helps to hide my engine oil leaks stains....ehehehhe.
