How to Choose the Right Thickness: 7mm vs 10mm Floor Tiles
We offer interlocking PVC tiles in two thicknesses — 7mm and 10mm. Choosing the right one depends on how you'll use the floor. Here's everything you need to know.
7mm Tiles — The All-Rounder
Our 7mm tiles are the most popular choice for home garages and lighter commercial use. Don't let the thickness fool you — these tiles are seriously tough.
Best for:
- Home garages (single, double, triple)
- Light workshop use
- Showrooms and retail spaces
- Utility rooms and home gyms
- Cars, vans, and motorbikes
10mm Tiles — Ultra Heavy Duty
Our 10mm tiles are the industrial-grade option — built for the most demanding environments where standard tiles wouldn't survive.
Best for:
- Busy automotive workshops
- Warehouses and distribution centres
- Factories and manufacturing floors
- Aircraft hangars and fire stations
- Forklifts, HGVs, and heavy machinery
