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?

If you are pouring a new concrete floor and you want durable go with a higher strength mix not your residential 3000 PSI. Go with a 4000 mix and don’t have the guys add a shit load of water to make it easier to move around. Also make sure it’s a steel trowel what they call a burn finish. There are also additives and coatings when finishing to give a stronger wearable surface. Chipping etc is because of lower strength concrete or surface water during finishing.
