I'm putting in a new attached shop and am trying to decide between some standard polyurethane-finished white oak and some sort of heavy duty vinyl tile (like they make for garages).
I'm leaning towards the white oak as it'll match the rest of my house, but I'm worried about damaging the wood with heavy sliding loads. The biggest one is my combo slider, which weighs about 1500 lbs. Am I going to wreck the floor with casters? The garage tile looks like it's rated for that sort of load but I can't find info about white oak.
