May I suggest natural rubber (caoutchouc). I have it in my home office. It is extreme durable and resistant to all kind of chemicals like paint thinner, solvent etc. I got that idea last year when we refurbished the entire flat and parquet was much to sensitive under a layout under construction.
Natural rubber in black color with pimple/burling of about 1" diameter is used on many airports. In a more friendly color with a smooth surface lots of hospitals use it. I got that version and I am very satisfied.
Here is an example of use in lifts http://www.thyssenkrupp-aufzuege.de/uplo...04_web.pdf
