check a flooring store. There are a couple of sheet vinyls in diamond plate If I remember correctly. Maybe Tarkett, IVC.

This is pretty cool stuff, it depends on what your sub floor is, i have used a wet layer of glass to bond floor pieces or some adhesives will bond, this was a job where he used the diamond plate pattern.

It can be made either with or without coring, if it was made with 1/2 or 3/4 inch coring it could have minimal support.... like a floor on stringers, and would be very strong

The coring i'm using is Airex, similar to diab, both PVC coring

The price also is determined by the laminate schedule chosen, but roughly a sheet with out coring is approx 3.00 sq ft, with coring it is approx 8.00 ft, ......yes coring is very expensive.
