Ceramic floor for bike shed/storage room (ex-garage)?

[Garald]

We've made the garage a bit smaller and put a wooden door. We'll be using it as a bike shed/storage room, and of course it is also the place where the internal unit of the heat pump happily lives. Now we have to think what to use as flooring. (Before, it was naked concrete.) The contractor suggests linoleum (doesn't sound to good to me), but also says that tiles would be good, as long as they are at most 1cm thick.

 

Are regular ceramic (not terracota!) tiles an option, given the intended usage? I suppose a tiny electric car could get in some day, though I don't foresee it.

 

Example:

Or would I have to get some special kind of tile? This is indoors.

Porcelain tiles are a good option 

Strong and long lasting

Better use porcelain tile, no?

It says "carossable" (i.e. you can drive your carosse on it, or, if you live in this century, your automobile).

Perfect 

I often tile car showrooms 

Always some variation of porcelain
