Performance Characteristics
01
Impact Resistance
Withstands dropped tools, rolling loads, and heavy equipment traffic without cracking or deformation. Engineered for the harshest workshop conditions.
02
Chemical Immunity
Impervious to oils, solvents, brake fluid, antifreeze, and industrial chemicals. Automotive fluids wipe clean without staining or surface degradation.
03
Moisture Barrier
100% waterproof construction with integrated drainage channels in raised disk variant. Protects concrete substrates from moisture damage.
04
Acoustic Dampening
Reduces noise transmission by up to 12dB compared to bare concrete. Creates a more comfortable working environment.
05
Thermal Insulation
R-value 0.15 reduces cold transfer from concrete substrates by 40%. Warmer, more comfortable workspace year-round.
06
UV Stabilized
Advanced UV inhibitors prevent fading and brittleness in areas with natural light exposure. Maintains appearance for decades.
Why 7mm Thickness is Critical
The 7mm profile represents the engineering sweet spot for interlocking PVC garage floor tiles. It provides 67% greater structural rigidity than 5mm alternatives, superior load distribution across point loads, and better spanning capability over substrate imperfections—without the cost premium of 10mm+ industrial systems.
Surface Pattern Selection
Smooth Finish
- Sleek, professional appearance with high-gloss finish ideal for vehicle showrooms
- Easy cleaning – sweep or damp mop in seconds with no debris accumulation
- R10 slip resistance certified for dry conditions and clean workshops
- Optimal for rolling equipment, trolley jacks, and wheeled tool cabinets
- Perfect for classic car storage and display areas
Raised Disk Pattern
- R11 slip resistance certified for wet and oily working conditions
- Circular studs create air gaps for drainage and debris clearance
- Enhanced grip for safe working in automotive maintenance bays
- Hides minor scratches and wear patterns better than smooth finish
- Recommended for mechanical workshops and high-traffic industrial zones
Ideal Applications
Residential Garages
Upgrade from cold concrete to professional-grade flooring with thermal insulation and premium aesthetics
Automotive Workshops
Oil-resistant surface designed for daily vehicle maintenance and MOT centre operations
Industrial Facilities
Heavy-duty flooring for assembly areas, quality control zones, and manufacturing floors
Trade Show Stands
Portable, reusable flooring for vehicle displays and branded exhibition spaces
Home Gyms
Impact-resistant surface with acoustic dampening for weight training areas
Showrooms
Professional presentation surface for vehicle and product display environments
Installation Guide
- Prepare Surface: Sweep and clean substrate thoroughly. Remove all oil, grease, and loose debris. Substrate must be dry with moisture content below 4%.
- Plan Layout: Start from one corner, working across the room. No expansion gaps required for areas under 100m². Calculate tile requirements at 4 tiles per m² plus 10% overage.
- Click Tiles Together: Align dovetail edges at 45° angle and press down firmly until locked. The hidden interlock system requires no adhesive or special tools.
- Cut Perimeter Tiles: Use sharp utility knife and straight edge for straight cuts. For curves and complex shapes, use jigsaw with fine-tooth blade.
- Complete Installation: Walk over completed floor to ensure all connections are fully seated. Individual tiles can be lifted for future substrate access.
Installation Efficiency
Average installation rate: 50-75m² per hour with a single installer. Typical single-car garage (18m²) installs in under 30 minutes. No professional contractor required.

Maintenance & Longevity
Daily Maintenance
- Sweep or vacuum to remove loose debris and workshop dust
- Damp mop with neutral pH cleaner for routine cleaning
- Wipe oil spills immediately with absorbent cloth to prevent tracking
Deep Cleaning
- Citrus-based degreaser for stubborn automotive stains and buildup
- Pressure wash (max 1500 PSI) for heavy soiling in industrial environments
- Isopropyl alcohol removes tire marks and scuff marks effectively
Expected Lifespan
- 15-20 years in residential garages with normal use
- 10-15 years in commercial workshops and automotive facilities
- 8-12 years in high-traffic industrial manufacturing environments
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install PVC garage floor tiles over damp concrete?
Substrate moisture content must be below 4%. Use a concrete moisture meter to test before installation. For damp substrates, apply a moisture barrier membrane first to prevent long-term issues.
Will car tyres mark the PVC floor tiles?
Hot tyres may leave temporary marks that fade within 24-48 hours. The raised disk pattern hides marks better than smooth finishes. Persistent marks can be removed with isopropyl alcohol.
Can I use these tiles outdoors?
Yes, with caveats. UV stabilizers protect against sun degradation, but tiles should be installed on a stable, level substrate. Not recommended for areas with standing water or direct exposure to extreme weather conditions.
How do I cut PVC interlocking tiles?
Use a sharp utility knife and straight edge for straight cuts. For curves and complex shapes, use a jigsaw with a fine-tooth blade. Always cut from the top surface for cleanest edges.
What's the difference between PVC and rubber garage floor tiles?
PVC tiles are harder, more chemical-resistant, and easier to clean than rubber alternatives. Rubber offers better impact absorption for dropped weights (gym use) but stains more easily from oils and automotive chemicals.
