Fitting a STEEL Floor - Major Workshop Upgrade

- čas přidán 20. 03. 2024
- Updating my old concrete workshop floor with shiny new metal sheets. The new floor is fireproof, magnetic, cool in summer, easy to clean and brightens the space by reflecting light, plus I've always liked the idea of metal floors thanks to my lifelong interest in Science Fiction.

At first I was like that's a horrible idea. But after you did it and I read the description I think it's awesome. All around very cool.
Place your bets, lads. How long until Connor hydroforms his floor?
Can you explain what this means?
Looking like a space ship 👍
Looks great! My first reaction was to say "be careful with your welding machine, not to electrocute yourself!" But I guess it would require a lot of mistakes to get there!
Yep, something to consider!
Yeah maybe weld them together and and connect them to a ground rod outside
This turned out really cool. Surprisingly inexpensive for what it is too. Rad!
Thank you!
Haha nice!
Description = decoy
Reason = Heelys
😁👍 Linoleum! Will there be larger projects?
6:45 Sir, where can i get safety boots like those?
Pretty nice, hopefully you get no trubble with moisture.
how thick is the double sided adheasive? will dents start showing up along where the tape is?
Mirror finish! do itttttttttt
The tape I used was only the thickness of average sellotape/packing tape, so no chance of dents forming. That's also why I didn't use any underlay
But... Are you going to polish it?
I wouldn't want to remove the protective galvanised layer, but maybe I can add some metal polish to the mop to help shine it up
@@ConnorHolland Sorry, I assumed it is stainless steel. Maybe some wax or something would be a good idea to try prevent rusting.
End up with any gaps or other issues? Or did it all go as planned?
No gaps thankfully, I was very careful to line up all the corners perfectly
@@ConnorHolland Very well done! Thanks for sharing.
Thats great. How much did the sheets set you back?
£320 in total, cheaper than PVC or rubber garage floor tiles
@@ConnorHolland Not too bad! Did you consider stainless steel for the floor? I wonder how much more it would cost. It would certainly be more scratch resistant and less prone to corrosion.
Stainless from my same supplier is £125 per sheet, Galvanised sheet was £20 each
