Space Invader design on workshop floor poll.

Pages: (1/5) > >>

Pixelhugger:

I'm nearing completion a garage that will be used exclusively as a workshop. Once finished it will be the space I use to complete my agravatingly delayed Mission Control project. I want to cover the cement slab floor with a more workshop friendly composite tile/linoleum type floor.. the kind you see in the grocery store. Since it is comprised of square composite "tiles" it would be easy to incorporate a space invader in the center.

Should I do it?

We don't need to park a car in it.

If we ever sell, I think I can swap out the colored tiles to create a normal floor.

It looks nice, but why didn't you make the design symmetrical? Or is this how a space invader looks?

Pixelhugger:

Ooops, nice catch. Rogue pixel.  ;) Fixed. Should be updated once the image hosting server is back online.

Well, the picture isn't loading for me, dunno if you're in the process of updating the pic or what, so this is based on me not seeing your example.

make sure you can easily remove the adhesive/mastic/mortar you need to adhere the tiles to the floor.  If it's not easy, mebbe think about doing a WAY lighter design, perhaps an off white and the invader a light light grey if you really wanna do it.

I myself would do it  :P

Also, make sure you have standard sized tiles (12" or 4").

What about a laminated wood floor w/the invader being  darker color?  The lams will come in a pack, making it more likely that you'll not have to spend any money on extra materials to replace/cover the guy in case you need to.  It'll also let you put some insulation underneath which'll also act as a bit of cushioning.

Looks great.I dont think most people would mind when you want to sell.They would just think its some kind of pattern.
