Our interlocking floor tiles are made from PVC which is a plastic polymer with many performance benefits. PVC is replacing a lot of traditional building materials because it is cost effective, strong and long lasting. 

Our garage floor tiles are available in a 7mm thickness, ensuring they are hard-wearing and durable, making them a tough and dependable flooring solution. Our interlocking tiles are easily able to withstand vehicle traffic.

At Garage Floor Tile Company, we provide our customers with four choices of colours for their garage floor. These floor tiles are available in black, red, graphite and blue, with the option of mixing and matching colours with our bundle packages. 

No, we do not recommend that you use the tiles outdoors; they are purposely designed to be used as a heavy duty internal flooring solution. 

No, there is no need to lay down a plastic membrane (in fact we advise that you don't do this). Our tiles can be installed directly over damp floors and contaminated surfaces. 

No. We have never had a problem with water or snow. The interlocking joints are breathable meaning that any water residue can evaporate as normal and will not leave a smell or create damp underneath your floor.

Our X-Joint interlocking garage floor tiles are available in one size as standard across all four colour options, 497mm x 497mm.

Our recycled T-Joint tiles are available in black in one size, 500mm x 500mm.

Yes! You can add personal touches to your garage, by including bespoke graphics printed on to your garage floor tiles. Either supply us with your graphic or contact us to have our in-house designers create this for you (please note additional artwork fees may apply).

We also have a range of pre-made design to choose from.

Though our tiles are designed to be tough and rigid once installed, we’ve made it easy to remove them too. So, if you’re moving houses, you can take your flooring with you. You can also replace single tiles if they are damaged. To remove a tile, gently use a utility knife and lift at the interlocking joint, there onwards it’s easy to remove the remaining floor tiles by lifting them with your hands.

Our garage floor tiles are designed for flexible use, whether you’re moving houses or need to apply your tiles in a different way, you can simply take them apart and reassemble the tiles without worry.

Yes, our floor tiles are slip resistant allowing for a range of indoor activities including working out.

The recommended operating temperature for our garage floor tiles is 15-35°C. Please note that we can’t warranty any installations that take place when the temperature is below 15°C. We’d advise standing the tiles in the space they are going to be installed in to for 48 hours prior, allowing for them to acclimatise to their new surroundings before installing them. 

Tiles located in direct sunlight or near a heat source may need to be glued down to reduce movement during heat expansion. Talk to our experienced team to discuss in more detail. 

Yes, we can provide a coaster sized sample of our interlocking floor tiles, allowing you to get a feel for the quality of the garage flooring solution. Click here to order your free sample in a colour of your choice.

Yes, our interlocking floor tiles can be installed over underfloor heating if you follow our recommendations around installation. Please contact us before installing your garage floor tiles over a heated floor for guidance.

All our tiles are manufactured in-house from our factory in Bedfordshire, United Kingdom.

Made from virgin-PVC, our interlocking flooring solution is classified as a fire-retardant construction product (rated Bfl-S1). This means that our tiles don’t support combustion or the spread of flames and generate very little smoke when they are burning. 

There are multiple benefits to installing our garage floor tiles in your space. Firstly, thanks to the interlocking design, they’re easy to install with minimal DIY experience required – watch this video or download our PDF guide to see just how easy it is.

Made from PVC, our interlocking floor tiles are tough and durable, handling the weight and friction from vehicles and large equipment.

Our garage floor tiles are shock and impact resistant, providing an anti-fatigue surface for when you’re working out and preventing damage if you accidentally drop weights or tools. 

Another benefit of our garage floor tiles is the ease of cleaning. We recommend using our cleaning kit.

You can cut them with a guillotine, hacksaw or jigsaw. Alternatively, use a utility knife with a concave blade which can be found as part of our installation kit. 

Cutting Allowance & Wastage

Should I order extra tiles in case of mistakes and miscuts? We recommend that you allow a 5% wastage factor. To make your calculations 100% correct, measure to the nearest 25 centimetres.

Yes, our dedicated team of installation experts work within a 100-mile radius of Luton. We also work with a national network of trusted fitters who provide the same great quality of installations.

Please visit our Installation Service for more information.

It’s great to have an extra pair of hands, but that doesn’t mean you can’t install the flooring on your own. Our garage floor tiles are easy to install with minimal DIY experience required, click here to see how.

In most applications no adhesive is required; the tiles can be dry laid and will withstand vehicle traffic without a problem. The only instances in which the tiles may require gluing is when part of the floor is likely to be exposed to much higher temperatures than the rest of the floor (e.g. a south facing garage door). If gluing is required the simplest adhesive to use is Pallman P9.

No. Install as much of the floor as you can, then move the machine on top of the tiles you've already installed.  Continue to fit the rest of the tiles and then put the machine back in its original position.

No, once installed the tiles will not move. They are heavier and denser than they look, and when locked together they are even stronger. 

Unfortunately, we don’t carry out visits for measurement, but we do however have an easy to use ‘Tile Calculator’ that helps you work out how many tiles you should be ordering.

One of the benefits of installing our garage floor tiles is that they can be used straightaway with no curing time or disruption to your use of the space.

No, your garage flooring will not fade over time, they are solid PVC and are the same colour throughout the entire thickness of the tile. 

Our tough and durable garage floor tiles provide an average lifespan of 20 years.

It’s easy to keep your space clean once you’ve installed our interlocking PVC floor tiles. Just follow these simple steps.

Our garage floor tiles have an interlocking joint that is extremely tight once locked together, but we can’t claim that it’s 100% waterproof. If large amounts of water are left to sit on the floor, it is possible that some will seep through the gaps in between the tiles. The most common concern people have is that the water will become stagnant and start to smell but this will not happen. Firstly, the chemicals in PVC act as a natural biocide that prevents the growth of nasty smelling bacteria and secondly any moisture under the tiles would evaporate back up through the joints because the temperature above the tiles is almost certain to be higher than that under the tiles.

Whilst our garage floor tiles are hard-wearing and long lasting, like any other surface they may scratch if objects are dragged along the surface. Therefore, we recommend lifting heavy objects that are likely to scratch when rearranging your space. Remember to watch out for sharp stones being brought into the garage, as these would scratch all floor coverings when pressure is applied.

Catalytic Converters – When the car is running the catalytic converter gets extremely hot and if the car is left running whilst sitting on the tiles it may cause the tiles directly under the converter to expand through the heat. This is only a temporary issue, and the tiles will shrink back to their original size once the heat source has been removed. In a busy commercial garage, it is worth considering gluing the tiles down in-between the lifts or ramps where vehicles may be left with the engine running.

Staining from car tyres – Rubber tyres will stain almost every type of floor including bare concrete, painted and vinyl flooring. The stain is a chemical reaction and will not damage the tiles or impact on their durability.

What causes the staining? Staining is caused by a component called '6PPD' (Phenaline Diamine) that is used when manufacturing car tyres. 6PPD is an antioxidant that is added to rubber products to prevent degradation and cracking.

It also has other beneficial effects in the moulding of rubber itself. 

Staining is dark grey/green in appearance and usually appears within 4-5 hours of tyres being placed on tiles. 

How to avoid the staining issue? As staining in a dark colour, using darker tiles makes it far less obvious and almost indistinguishable from the colour of the tile itself, it would be the smartest choice to use black or graphite (and amongst the most popular too). If you wish to use the lighter colour tiles to brighten up your garage or workshop, it's worth designing the floor in a layout that incorporates different colours, using the darker coloured tiles where the vehicle will be parked. 

Our tiles will compress under heavy loads but will always return to their original shape over time. A Jack will leave a small dent in the tile which will return to normal in a few hours.

Our PVC floor tiles are impact resistant and will not only absorb the shock caused by dropping heavy objects but will also reduce the noise created from impact with the surface.

Occasionally, you may notice indentations after applying a lot of weight to our floor tiles over a small area (e.g. motorcycle stands and vehicle jacks). Indentations occur more often when the floor is warm, as the tiles become softer and more flexible. 

The tiles are designed to encourage movement when subject to heavy point loads. This is to prevent the tiles from breaking or snapping under pressure. 

The tiles will always return to their normal form once the weight has been removed, so this is nothing to be concerned about. They may take longer to reform in colder weathers, however the process can be sped up by using a hot air gun or by placing a damp cloth over the tile (ensuring that the cloth remains damp at all times) and running an iron over the cloth. 

All hard or resilient flooring will be prone to scratches if sharp or hard objects are dragged across them.

Applying Dr. Schutz Floor Mat Sealer to your floor after installation will extend its life and make it easier to clean and maintain. Some materials are known to cause staining on vinyl floors. Typical examples include asphalt and bitumen materials, rubber tyres, rubber-back carpets, rubber mats, rubber furniture rests, trolley wheels, shoe soles not made from non-staining materials and finally, heat degradation.

Simply mop the Floor Mat Sealer over your floor to add an extra protective layer.

When the first protective film is dry to walk on (after approximately 1 hour), apply a second coat and allow to dry for at least 12 hours before the floor is walked on, ideally overnight.

Coverage: 20m2 per litre / per coat

Yes, you certainly can. Ribtrax Pro tiles are designed for easy installation in home garages and workshops. Effectively, they simply click together without the need of any tools. You'll need to make some cuts to ensure a neat finish to your flooring, so we've created a concise installation guide here. And we've created a video on our Garage Floor Tile Company YouTube channel to help you too.

Ribtrax Pro modular floor tiles are 19mm thick, and made from super strong materials to enable them to be driven on by cars. They're often used by commercial garages and car detailers on a daily basis, so they're well suited to withstanding regular vehicles traffic.

Each Ribtrax Pro tile has 2 sides with looped connectors, and 2 sides with pegged connectors. For creating a full floor covering of a garage, we recommend installing the tiles with the pegged side of the tiles facing the garage door entrance. Therefore for this application you would need to choose looped ramp edges so they connect together. If you are creating a 'pad' or 'island' with your floor tiles, you'll need to add ramps around all 4 sides of your floor. In this instance, you'll need to buy both looped and pegged ramp edges to connect to the corresponding tile joints. You'll also need to order 4 corner pieces too to complete your square or rectangular modular floor pad.

It depends on where you need to add ramps. For a home garage application, you'll just need ramps for the width of the garage entrance. Each ramp edge is the same size as a Ribtrax Pro tile, so you'll need the same number of ramps and tiles to cover the entrance. For garages where you're just ramping the entrance, you'll need looped ramp edges if you're installing as per our guidelines / instructions. If you're creating a standalone pad or island of tiles within a larger space, you'll need to add a ramp to all 4 sides. For this you'll need a mix of looped ramp edges and pegged ramp edges. You'll also need 4 corners to complete your square or rectangular floor pad/island.

Adding a ramp to your Ribtrax Pro modular floor will create a smooth transition onto your floor. Designed to withstand vehicle traffic, the ramps are perfect for using in garage entrances for smooth access and to protect the edges of your Ribtrax Pro tiles. Each ramp edge fits securely to one tile, using the same peg and loop connection system for a super tight joint. We also supply corners too, so if you are creating an island of tiles on your subfloor, they allow you to ramps all the way around your floor. Meaning they're super safe and wont present a trip hazard when entering your Ribtrax Pro floor area.

Yes you can, its pretty straight forward. Simply use a flat-edged screwdriver, putty knife or paint tin opener. They make it easy to pop out a single Ribtrax Pro tile without affecting the rest of the floor. 

Definately, that's the best way to create an eye catching look to your Swisstrax floor. They're perfect for creating a design by using different coloured tiles to make a big impact. Many customers create a different coloured rectangle in the centre of their garage, some create a checked look, whilst others create different zones within their workshop or workspace. All Ribtrax Pro tiles connect with each other, irrespective of their colour - so with Swisstrax from Garage Floor Tile Company, you're the designer! 

Ribtrax Pro are made from Polypropolene, so they're manufactured to withstand a considerable amount of weight. Depending on the weight of the vehicle and the surface area points of the jack, we would suggest using a piece of rigid material placed between the tile and jack stand. This will help to distribute the weight / load to eliminate any potential damage occuring to the tile. 

Swisstrax Ribtrax tiles can be cut using any type of electric saw, ie table saw, circular saw, jigsaw etc. We advise using a fine-toothed blade. Please see our installation instructions and YouTube videos for more info and advice.

Yes, Ribtrax Pro tiles are resistant to most chemicals and oils, with the exception of battery acid. Make sure to keep the tiles well away from direct heat sources such as a butane torch for example. If you did manage to damage a tool, being a modular floor system, you can just pop out the damaged tile and replace with a new one. 

Our Ribtrax Pro tiles are perfect for wet environments. they're designed with perforations throughout the tiles surface, which allows water to quickly flow through and on to the subfloor. This leaves a clean, dary and safe surface area. This also makes them the perfect tile for cleaning with a jet washer. Simply start at the back of your garage and clean towards the open door and onwards to your nearest drain.

Each tile has a series of loops and pegs, which are used to connect the tiles to each other. These joints create a super strong connection, whilst allowing them to be disconnected and moved should they need to be. More info can be found on our installation guide.

Yes they can. All our Ribtrax Pro tiles are created with a UV stabiliser mixed in to the material, along with colour pigments. This means they're better suited to be used outside with high fade resistance. With almost every material, extended exposure to direct sunlight will start to cause some fade and discolouration over time. This is more likely in bright colours such as red, blue and green, so we would advise to consider our Pearl Silver and Slate Grey in such applications.

All our Ribtrax Pro floor tiles are 19mm thick, providing superior strength to enable vehicle traffic to be driven on them. Each tile is 400mm x 400mm x 19mm, and is made from Polypropylene.

Ribtrax Pro tiles are available in a wide range of colours. At Garage Floor Tile Company we carry stock of the 5 bestselling colours. Jet Black, Slate Grey, Pearl Silver, Royal Blue and Racing Red tiles are all available to buy from Garage Floor Tile Company. Should you wish to buy Ribtrax Pro in other colours Swisstrax produce, we can discuss this with you in more detail. Please email info@gftcompany.com for more details.

All Ribtrax Pro tiles are manufactured to operate from -30oC to 120oC environments.
