I just put some old kitchen cabinets in my garage. For the counter top I used old solid-core doors and want to make them look a little nicer. I was thinking about just buying a sheet of laminate but I am also looking for other suggestions. I've seen others use vinyl flooring, pergo type flooring, etc.

My garage will be used for working on cars so I want something durable but that isn't too expensive or hard to replace if I screw up the counter.
 
You can use some kitchen tiles, marble or granite but a vinyl is also a good choice It's somehow durable and in case you screw it up at anytime you can replace it because it's not that expensive right? :)
 
I am planning to put galvanised sheet metal on my coutertops in the garage . I get it in 8'X3' sheets from the supply house but you could probably get it from any sheetmetal fab shop in your town that makes ductwork.

Galvanized sheet metal sounds great. My brother have that in his garage.
 
I was reworking the bench in my garage. I wanted a continuous bench instead of the three sheets of plywood I have now. It's 16 x 3 long with an "L" of about 5.5' on one end. I used 3/4 thick oak flooring on top of my existing plywood. I screwed the rear course and stapled the rest. It is repairable and durable. I'm an auto/metal guy (still pulling splinters) but the wood top with sheet metal cover when I'm welding works for me. I didn't stain or polyurathane, instead I used Thompson's water seal.
 
There is nothing better than a clean, vast work area. Good job!

This is how my bench turned out.

That top looks super there. Nice work Ecam.

I just put in some oak floors and let me say that stuff is tough.:thumbsup:
 
I'd suggest using something like a toughened steel or a plywood top which are extremely durable and relatively in-expensive.
