I wouldn't say that porcelain is either clever or inexpensive, Steve,
but it *is* very different from standard ceramic. It's main difference
is in being *very* resistant to impact damage. Still, I wouldn't use it
in a heavily working garage. But the question that started this thread
was whether to use to interlocking rubber-like floor tiles, which I
wouldn't use in any kind of working garage, either. Or probably even in
a show garage, which is what it is intended for. Porcelain is a good (I
think) compromise between the two. My garage will be house a bunch of
cars that just need maintenance, not restoration, and there's a big
difference there in the garage environment......
