I bet that's the same material they use for tracks at indoor gyms. Rusty orange color with a texture, I did electrical in a gym and took scraps home.

I "think" according to the website it's about $15 per square foot.

I know around here to have someone replace a sidewalk square (3'x3'), it cost around $90 to $100.

So the rubber sidewalk would cost around $135 a square.

Seriously, I see potential as a shop floor surface, but I'd have to know a little more about the stuff first.

That commercial cracked me up the first time I saw it!

My shop floor is currently dirt with either scrap plywood or flat fiberglass panel laid on it.
I have been postponing excavation and pouring of concrete due to time and money constraints and the fact that I would have to remove everything from the shop and be out of commission with my side business for a period of time.
But, if this stuff were to become cost-effective, I could do the floor in sections and still stay in business while it happens.
