I don't know a lot about greenhouses, but I would not think wood chips would be a good idea. You really need a floor you can sweep, unless you are going to plant into the ground. I think woodchips would attract woodlice and other insects, and compost and other refuse will fall into it. Concrete or slabs would be a better solution.
