Default Proper garage floor

Apologies everyone for not writing frequently. I was moving my house. I've got new home near Wokingham with a double garage.

Garage has concrete floor. Concrete is good, but a bit rough and cold in terms of surface. I'm thinking to apply some self-levelling compound on top of concrete and then cover it with a 'rubber' coating, so the floor will look smooth and shiny.

Has anyone accomplished this? Looking for a high quality stuff. Something 'Made in Germany"

Never done this work myself.

Perhaps I should invite someone (professional?) who can help me to arrange proper garage floors. Do you have any experience with garage floors? What floor material should I go for? Do you know anyone who is involved with floors stuff professionally? Any advice?

Many thanks.

Worth a read of this thread - lots of good info, although a lot relates to building a new garage! The page below shows the floor surface Dave laid and then also some tiles he decided to buy to cover that up

Brian, Adrian, many thanks. I see in both cases 'rubber' tilles were used.

Any more examples? Anyone?
