Re: Why bother?
Also see proper linoleum floors. Antistatic. There were companies selling flooring at Data Centre World. Having a "softer" surface that's a manufactured finish can make them smoother, less prone to vibration, have lower maintenance costs due to painting & resealing, less prone to water ingress etc.
We had the same issue with a TV studio floor. Took umpteen coats of a proper latex sealant to reach a finish where the dollies would move around without a noticeable vibration in the image, especially went we went to HD cameras & I imagine 4K/8K/10K & IMAXdigital is even worse! Film, of course, is slightly more forgiving as there's no line structure.
