Technical Specifications

Tile Dimensions	500mm × 500mm (4 tiles per m²)
Thickness	10mm
Load Rating	5 tonnes point load (independently verified)
Material	Virgin PVC, closed-cell construction
Surface Finish	Anti-slip textured (R10 rated to DIN 51130)
Fire Rating	Bfl-s1 (EN 13501-1 compliant)
Chemical Resistance	Oils, fuels, brake fluid, coolant, acids, solvents
Temperature Range	-20°C to +60°C continuous use
Weight	2.5kg per tile
Connection System	Precision interlocking – no adhesive required

Understanding the 5 tonnes Load Rating

Our 5 tonnes point load rating means these tiles withstand concentrated weight from vehicle jacks, heavy equipment, and industrial machinery without compression failure or permanent deformation.

This rating is independently verified to BS EN ISO 24344, measuring resistance to concentrated loads through a 10mm diameter indentor. Testing documentation is available for insurance and HSE compliance requirements.

Practical applications:

Vehicle lift pads and hydraulic jack points
Heavy equipment and machinery bases
Rolling loads from trolleys and carts
Static loads from racking and storage systems

Material Science: Why Virgin PVC Outperforms

Our tiles use 100% virgin PVC in closed-cell construction – here's why this engineering choice matters:

Virgin PVC vs Recycled: Recycled PVC contains unknown additives and degraded polymer chains that reduce chemical resistance and load performance. Virgin material delivers consistent, documented specifications.

Closed-Cell vs Open-Cell: Closed-cell construction creates complete fluid barrier protection. Open-cell structures absorb fluids over time, leading to swelling, odour retention, and structural degradation.

PVC vs Polypropylene: Polypropylene tiles become brittle in cold temperatures and offer lower chemical resistance. PVC maintains flexibility and performance from -20°C to +60°C.

Installation Guide: Zero Downtime Floor Transformation

Unlike epoxy systems requiring 72-hour cure times, our interlocking tiles install directly over existing floors during operational hours.

Installation Process:

Preparation: Sweep floor clean. No grinding, priming, or moisture testing required.
Starting Point: Begin in corner, working outward. Leave 5mm expansion gap at walls.
Connection: Align tiles and press down firmly – interlocks click together without tools.
Cutting: Score with utility knife and snap. No power tools required.
Edge Finishing: Install ramp edges for smooth transitions where required.

Subfloor Compatibility: Concrete (any age), existing tiles, painted floors, even slightly uneven surfaces up to 3mm.

Chemical Resistance: Industrial-Grade Protection

Our closed-cell PVC construction provides complete barrier protection against:

Engine Oil (conventional & synthetic)	✓ Full Resistance
Transmission & Hydraulic Fluid	✓ Full Resistance

What R10 Means:

Safe walking surface at inclination angles of 10-19°
Suitable for areas with occasional water or oil contamination
Meets HSE requirements for commercial environments
Maintains grip even when contaminated with oil films

Fire Rating: Bfl-s1 Commercial Compliance

Our tiles carry Bfl-s1 fire classification to EN 13501-1 – the European standard for construction product fire performance.

B: Limited contribution to fire spread (second-highest rating)
fl: Flooring-specific classification
s1: Minimal smoke production

This rating satisfies Building Regulations for commercial premises and meets insurance specifications for industrial applications.

Engineered for Industrial Load Requirements

Industrial environments demand flooring that handles loads consumer products never face. Our 5 tonnes point load rating is independently verified to BS EN ISO 24344 – the European standard for measuring concentrated load resistance.

What Industrial Operations Require

Forklift traffic: Counterbalance forklifts up to 5 tonnes operating continuously
Pallet jacks: Manual and powered pallet trucks with full loads
Racking systems: Heavy-duty pallet racking with concentrated leg loads
Heavy machinery: Production equipment, CNC machines, presses
HGV access: Articulated lorries in loading bays
Rolling containers: Cages, stillages, and roll containers

Rolling Load Capacity: 20+ Tonnes

Beyond static point loads, industrial floors face continuous rolling traffic. Our tiles support rolling loads exceeding 20 tonnes – meaning fully-loaded forklifts, reach trucks, and powered pallet movers operate safely throughout their duty cycles.

Warehouse & Factory Applications

Distribution Centres

High-traffic pick zones, packing areas, and dispatch bays. Tiles withstand continuous forklift and pallet truck movement while providing anti-fatigue benefits for warehouse operatives.

Manufacturing Plants

Production floors, assembly lines, and machine shops. Chemical resistance handles coolants, cutting fluids, and hydraulic oil without degradation.

Logistics Facilities

Cross-dock operations, sortation areas, and loading bays. Quick installation means new facilities come online faster; section repairs take minutes not days.

Food & Beverage Production

Hygienic surface cleans easily. Chemical resistance handles sanitisers and cleaning agents. Closed-cell construction prevents bacterial harbourage.

Automotive & Engineering

Machine shops, component assembly, and quality inspection areas. Oil and coolant resistance essential for metalworking environments.

Zero Downtime Installation: Operational Continuity

Traditional industrial flooring (epoxy, resin, polished concrete) requires facility shutdown. Our interlocking tiles install during operations – section by section if needed.

Installation Advantages

No cure time: Walk and work on tiles immediately after installation
Section-by-section: Install overnight or during quiet periods
No grinding: Install over existing concrete, epoxy, or painted floors
No moisture testing: Install on new or damp concrete
DIY or contractor: Simple enough for facilities teams, scalable for contractors

Installation Speed

A two-person team installs approximately 100m² per day. A 1,000m² warehouse floor completes in under two weeks with minimal operational disruption.

Phased Installation

Install one zone while operations continue in another. Racking areas overnight. Picking zones during weekends. Loading bays during quiet shifts. No full facility shutdown required.

Chemical Resistance for Industrial Environments

Industrial floors face chemical exposure that destroys standard flooring. Our closed-cell PVC construction provides complete barrier protection.

Verified Resistance

Hydraulic Oil	✓ Full Resistance
Cutting Fluids & Coolants	✓ Full Resistance
Diesel & Lubricants	✓ Full Resistance
Battery Acid (dilute)	✓ Full Resistance
Industrial Degreasers	✓ Full Resistance

Frequently Asked Questions

Can forklifts operate on these tiles?

Yes. The 5 tonnes point load and 20+ tonnes rolling load ratings mean counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, and powered pallet movers operate safely. Tiles are specifically designed for industrial MHE traffic.

Can we install without stopping operations?

Yes. Section-by-section installation allows operations to continue in adjacent areas. Many clients install overnight, during weekends, or during quiet shifts with no facility shutdown.

What substrate preparation is required?

Minimal. Sweep clean and install. Tiles lay over existing concrete, epoxy, or painted floors. No grinding, priming, or moisture testing required. Surface imperfections up to 3mm are acceptable.

Do you provide load test certificates?

Yes. BS EN ISO 24344 test certificates are available for insurance compliance, HSE inspections, and customer audits. Fire rating (Bfl-s1) and slip rating (R10) documentation also available.

How do tiles perform with hydraulic oil exposure?

Excellent. Closed-cell PVC provides complete barrier protection against hydraulic oil, cutting fluids, coolants, and lubricants. Fluids stay on surface for easy cleanup with no absorption or degradation.

What's the installation rate?

A two-person team installs approximately 100m² per day. A 1,000m² warehouse floor completes in under two weeks. Larger teams scale proportionally.

Can tiles be relocated to a new facility?

Yes. No adhesive means tiles lift up and reinstall elsewhere. Valuable if leasing premises or planning future relocation. The floor is an asset, not a fixture.

What happens if a tile is damaged?

Replace the individual tile in approximately 2 minutes. Lift surrounding tiles, remove damaged unit, click in replacement. No contractors, no curing, no operational disruption.

Do you offer volume discounts?

Yes. Contact us for project pricing on orders over 500m². We provide formal quotations for facilities managers, procurement teams, and contractors.

Can we get samples for evaluation?

Yes. Free samples available for quality assessment, load testing, and stakeholder approval. Visit our Free Samples page or contact us directly.

7mm vs 10mm: Which Thickness Do You Need?

Choose 7mm When:

Primary use is domestic garage (car storage, DIY, light workshop)
Traffic is mainly foot traffic and occasional vehicle movement
Equipment is standard garage tools, not industrial machinery
Budget efficiency is a priority
Clearance under garage doors is limited

Choose 10mm When:

Heavy equipment or machinery will be used
Forklift or HGV traffic is expected
Maximum impact absorption is required
Commercial or industrial application

Why 7mm Is Ideal for Most Garages

Most UK domestic garages don't need industrial-grade 10mm tiles. The 7mm thickness handles:

Car and motorcycle storage: Daily driving in and out
Trolley jacks and axle stands: Routine maintenance tasks
Tool chests and workbenches: Standard garage equipment
Dropped tools: Impact absorption for everyday accidents

The 7mm profile also provides practical advantages:

Door clearance: Less likely to interfere with garage doors
Transition height: Smaller step at doorways
Cost efficiency: Lower material cost for same coverage

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 7mm thick enough for a garage?

Yes. 7mm is ideal for most domestic garages handling car storage, DIY work, and standard garage equipment. Only upgrade to 10mm if you have heavy machinery or commercial/industrial loads.

Can I drive my car on 7mm tiles?

Absolutely. 7mm tiles are designed for vehicle traffic. Cars, motorcycles, and vans drive on and off daily without any damage to the tiles.

Will a trolley jack damage 7mm tiles?

No. Standard trolley jacks and axle stands work fine on 7mm tiles. The load rating handles typical garage maintenance equipment without compression damage.

Do 7mm tiles have the same oil resistance as 10mm?

Yes. Both use identical closed-cell PVC construction. Oil resistance, chemical resistance, and fluid barrier properties are the same regardless of thickness.

Will 7mm tiles clear my garage door?

Usually yes. The 7mm profile is less likely to interfere with garage door clearance than thicker alternatives. Measure your current clearance – 7mm plus optional ramp edge is typically 10-15mm total.

Can I mix 7mm and 10mm tiles?

Not recommended. Different thicknesses create a step hazard. Choose one thickness for your entire floor for safety and appearance.

How long do 7mm tiles last?

20+ years with normal garage use. The virgin PVC construction and UV stability ensure long-term performance without degradation.

Are 7mm tiles slippery?

No. R10 anti-slip rating means the textured surface maintains grip even when wet or contaminated with oil.

Can I install over painted concrete?

Yes. Tiles install over any hard surface including painted concrete, bare concrete, or existing floor coverings. No removal or preparation required.

Heavy-Duty 10mm PVC Floor Tiles – Engineered for Forklift and heavy equipment

When forklift and heavy equipment environments demand flooring that withstands heavy loads, chemical exposure, and continuous traffic, these 5 tonnes rated interlocking PVC tiles deliver verified performance that standard flooring cannot match. Designed specifically for professional environments where operational reliability is non-negotiable.

✓ 5 tonnes Load Rating | ✓ Oil & Chemical Resistant | ✓ Zero Cure Installation | ✓ 10-Year Commercial Warranty | ✓ Free UK Delivery

Technical Specifications

Tile Dimensions	500mm × 500mm (4 tiles per m²)
Thickness	10mm
Load Rating	5 tonnes point load (independently verified)
Material	Virgin PVC, closed-cell construction
Surface Finish	Anti-slip textured (R10 rated to DIN 51130)
Fire Rating	Bfl-s1 (EN 13501-1 compliant)
Chemical Resistance	Oils, fuels, brake fluid, coolant, acids, solvents
Temperature Range	-20°C to +60°C continuous use
Weight	2.5kg per tile
Connection System	Precision interlocking – no adhesive required
Warranty	10 years commercial use

Understanding the 5 tonnes Load Rating

Our 5 tonnes point load rating means these tiles withstand concentrated weight from loaded forklifts and heavy MHE equipment without compression failure or permanent deformation.

This rating is independently verified to BS EN ISO 24344, measuring resistance to concentrated loads through a 10mm diameter indentor. Testing documentation is available for insurance and HSE compliance requirements.

Practical applications:

Loaded forklift traffic and pallet jack operations
Heavy equipment and machinery bases
Rolling loads from trolleys and carts
Static loads from racking and storage systems

Material Science: Why Virgin PVC Outperforms

Our tiles use 100% virgin PVC in closed-cell construction – here's why this engineering choice matters:

Virgin PVC vs Recycled: Recycled PVC contains unknown additives and degraded polymer chains that reduce chemical resistance and load performance. Virgin material delivers consistent, documented specifications.

Closed-Cell vs Open-Cell: Closed-cell construction creates complete fluid barrier protection. Open-cell structures absorb fluids over time, leading to swelling, odour retention, and structural degradation.

PVC vs Polypropylene: Polypropylene tiles become brittle in cold temperatures and offer lower chemical resistance. PVC maintains flexibility and performance from -20°C to +60°C.

Installation Guide: Zero Downtime Floor Transformation

Unlike epoxy systems requiring 72-hour cure times, our interlocking tiles install directly over existing floors during operational hours.

Installation Process:

Preparation: Sweep floor clean. No grinding, priming, or moisture testing required.
Starting Point: Begin in corner, working outward. Leave 5mm expansion gap at walls.
Connection: Align tiles and press down firmly – interlocks click together without tools.
Cutting: Score with utility knife and snap. No power tools required.
Edge Finishing: Install ramp edges for smooth transitions where required.

Subfloor Compatibility: Concrete (any age), existing tiles, painted floors, even slightly uneven surfaces up to 3mm.
