My engraving tools and setup have been packed away while we're remodeling our shop by building living quarters in the front third. As part of the planning I HAD a really nice spot with a large north window all staked out for my new and improved engraving area.
Framing is about done and we're trying to pick our flooring on the upper level. A friend that does flooring for living recommended COREtec as a good product for our general use.

Pam and I checked into it and several similar products and we became concerned it wouldn't hold up very well to the metalchips and the rough and scuff that comes with the craft.
My question. Should I give up on having my engraving area in our living quarters or is there a way to keep the chips from tracking? Or, recommendations on a better flooring.
If I move from that area I loose my North facing window option.
