When laying interlocking floor tiles, you have two main pattern options: T-joint (brick pattern) and X-joint (grid pattern). The choice affects both the look and performance of your floor. T-Joint (Brick Pattern) In a T-joint layout, each row is offset by half a tile — like the bricks in a wall. This means no four corners ever meet at the same point, creating a staggered pattern. ✅ Advantages: Stronger floor — weight is distributed across more connection points Better for heavy traffic and vehicle use Less likely to lift at corners under load Recommended for garages, workshops, and industrial spaces X-Joint (Grid Pattern) In an X-joint layout, tiles align in a perfect grid — four corners meet at every intersection. This creates clean, uniform lines across your floor. ✅ Advantages: Cleaner, more symmetrical visual appearance Easier and faster to install (no offset calculations) Ideal for showrooms, retail, and lighter-use areas Works well with multi-colour designs and patterns Our Recommendation For most garages and workshops, we recommend the T-joint (brick) pattern. It creates a stronger, more stable floor that performs better under heavy loads and vehicle traffic. The offset pattern also looks great and gives your garage a professional, finished appearance. For showrooms, retail spaces, or decorative applications where heavy loads aren't a concern, the X-joint (grid) pattern offers a sleek, modern look. Shop Our Tiles
