Hello,
we have a double garage attached to the house, including an area for a workbench, etc., with a total size of 7 x 9 meters (23 x 30 feet).
The screed is scheduled to be installed on Thursday. I need to inform them about the height—whether I should leave an additional 1.5 to 2 centimeters (0.6 to 0.8 inches) for tiles or not.
I have heard differing opinions within my family regarding tiles versus a two-component coating.
What is your opinion (preferably based on experience)?

My mother-in-law has a tiled garage. The same tiles that were also installed in the basement. And no, there’s no Lamborghini inside, just a Golf IV.
On one hand, the garage can be cleaned and swept very easily; on the other hand, there are slippery spots in winter due to snow slush. Personally, I wouldn’t choose to tile a garage.
Depending on the type of work done, I would also be concerned about tiles breaking quickly if a tool falls under the workbench.
The floor in our workshop is coated. It lasts quite a long time and is quite durable.

There are many possibilities. Tiles or natural stone need to have a high slip resistance and must be fairly thick due to the weight of the vehicles. Not exactly cheap. A two-component coating with broadcast aggregate is probably more affordable and faster. Cast asphalt would also be an option.

Floortec 2K epoxy thick coat LF 834
for example from Brillux, you can apply it yourself. Just follow the instructions exactly. Thanks!
Don’t forget to buy the appropriate hardener for this. Keep in mind that the epoxy resin (EP) must be mixed very precisely, possibly using a scale. Although EP has almost no odor, it is highly toxic and harmful to the skin, so gloves and a disposable suit are mandatory. Once fully cured, however, it is harmless and could even be licked.
