put in the floor you want, while protecting the area in which you work
Not sure how large your studio is, but I'm on the verge of buying a shed and outfitting it. when I thought about flooring I wanted something nice - cork, tile, laminate. Considering that where my torches are is one small area what I've decided to do is to put in the flooring that I want but under my chair and table I'll top the flooring with a couple of steel sheets for dropped rods and such. This will designate an area specifically for the torches and keep my shedio (HA love that term, thanks Pat!) from burning down or the floor from being destroyed. Also gives a good sweep surface. I will nail it down (easy removal if needed) and if that gets marked up - add another layer. I'll have the look and feel that I want in the studio, without compromising safety. Hope this helps.
