Im going to put the heaters on timer switches once i get some new ones next week, justnow i only put them on when im in the garage.
Sorry i cant mind how much the flooring was per square metre as i bought it a few months ago, sure it was about Ł450 to do my floor which is 25ft x 12ft.

I did do a test a few weeks ago with a few squares clipped together and jacked off of it with no problems, the back of the tiles have a cross section to take weight.

My workshop floor at work holds up really well against me and my ability to drop a hammer at any given opputunity A decent workshop floor tile, laid correctly shouldnt shatter unless really abused.............only down side to them is chasing sockets across the floor when they get a bounce on
