Flooring recommendation for garage arcade

Pages: (1/5) > >>

Howdy-

I'm looking to rent a home & set up arcade games/pinball machines in the garage (and maybe a TV for home consoles).

What sort of flooring material is recommended to put over concrete to allow the following:
- temperate insulation
- wife-approved aesthetics
- low foot/knee/hip fatigue from extended periods of standing at a machine
- relatively easy scooching of games

Keep in mind that this is a rental property, so it would be nice if:
- it was inexpensive
- it could be taken away with me when I move out
- it would leave no permanent damage


Thanks,
-Jason

Or something like this:

If you get creative and get multiple colors, you could even do a space invader pattern on the floor.

Or better yet, created a template of space invaders or other graphics onto cardboard and spray paint them onto a few of the tiles.

Being that you are renting, those tiles sound like they are a semi-permanent solution that you can easily remove if needed.

I'd look into some locking casters to put on the bottom of the cabs, or at least get some nice hand trucks.  Even if it's not permanent, I wouldn't want to be just scraping cabinets around on the nice new floor.
