Greenhouse floor material
Hi all. I am putting in a Greenhouse and had intended to have a concrete base put down to mount it on. Next to that I am intending to put a small seated area as that’s obviously the sunniest, warmest part of the garden.
The guy who is doing the hard landscaping work has suggested porcelain tiling the whole area and putting the greenhouse on top of that.

My question is does anyone have experience of that material as a greenhouse floor? I think it might be a bit of a heat sink, and I’m not sure about it from a drainage POV. On the otherhand it’ll certainly look lovely!

I had an area paved with Marshall Saxon paving and it looks and works well.
It has a textured non-slip surface which I've found ideal - even when muddy.
I use Patio Magic or Wet & Forget once or twice a year to keep it clean - whch also works well.
I do have a porcelain patio that is great, but i don't think it's at all suitable for a gh floor.
It would get slippery and if you drop something heavy onto it it may crack

i have. A concrete one with a soil bed cut into it. To make the floor look less utilitarian, I have bought one of those new outdoor rugs you can get from nurseries. They can get wet and muddy no problem
