Snap Together Automotive Flooring, American Made Garage Tiles

The TechFloor Premium Garage Tile with Traction Top Carton of 10 product has so many potential use cases that it's a consistently popular choice among customers. This snap together automotive flooring is made of a polypropylene base with injection molded TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) for wet or dry use with non-slip properties.

You'll have raised squares across the faces of the interlocking garage floor tiles that provide the traction for people walking across the floor, even if the surface becomes wet. These slightly raised square areas are dark, which provide a color contrast on the face of the tile for an interesting looking pattern that's tough to duplicate with other types of traction garage flooring. Most styles of this tile have a base color that contrasts with the dark color on the raised square areas.

You can install these interlocking garage floor tiles using a single base color throughout the flooring area. Or you can use more than one base color in the installation, creating islands within the flooring that have a different base color than the surrounding tile. You even can create a checkerboard pattern with different base colors in each adjacent tile for an interesting design.

The base color options available for the premium automotive floor tiles are as follows.

Blue base/black raised squares
Gray (Dark) base/black raised squares
Gray (Light) base/black raised squares
Red base/black raised squares
White base/black raised squares

Durable Materials

Customers love these premium automotive floor tiles because of how tough and durable they are. Each tile consists of a polypropylene plastic base. Because these tiles are a Made in the USA product, you can count on the materials we've used to be of the highest quality, resulting in a trustworthy product.

We've selected this material for its strength and resistance to chemicals and wear. Each traction garage flooring tile has a material hardness rating of Shore A 95, which makes it extremely durable. Even though the individual interlocking garage floor tiles only measure 1/4 of an inch in thickness, they are among the toughest tiles you're going to find.

Use Cases

It's easy to calculate the coverage area of each carton of our premium automotive floor tiles. Each TechFloor Premium Garage Tile with Traction Top Carton of 10 product contains 10 tiles that have 1 square foot of coverage area each with a 12-by-12-inch dimension.

You can feel free to use our traction garage flooring in many different areas where you need a tough, non-absorbent flooring. However, because these tiles are not UV treated, we do not recommend an outdoor installation.

These premium automotive floor tiles work great as a garage or workshop floor because of how tough they are and because they do not absorb liquid. You'll receive a good performance using these tiles in an entry way or in a mud room as well.

Some people choose to install these high performance tiles in a laundry room or in a basement area to refresh a worn type of flooring, such as stained and cracked cement or worn linoleum.

Feel free to use the interlocking garage floor tiles in any area where you need a temporary installation of a great looking flooring as well, such as for a trade show flooring or for a special type of flooring for an event at a school or at a warehouse.

Because of the interlocking installation system we've developed for these premium automotive floor tiles, you'll be able to take these tiles apart and move them from location to location. Or you can just leave them in place for a permanent installation too.

Installation Tips

You can install this traction garage flooring alone or you can have multiple people work on the installation. As each tile only measures 12 by 12 inches, one person can carry a tile and maneuver it into place with very little effort. Additionally, each carton weighs only 9 pounds, so you'll have an easy time carrying these lightweight interlocking garage floor tiles.

Before installing the traction garage flooring, we recommend that you thoroughly sweep the sub-floor, removing any debris or anything else that could inhibit the proper installation of the tiles. If you choose to mop the sub-flooring before installation of the tiles, give it time to dry before you lay out these interlocking garage floor tiles.

Our modular garage floor tiles are custom engineered utilizing a loop and tab system that tightly locks the tiles together and creates a seamless look. Each tile features two edges with loops that visibly hang over the edge of the tile, as well as two edges with tabs that are hidden on the underside of the tile.

To attach these tiles, just place one edge of the tile with the hidden tabs over the top of the edge of an adjacent tile with the visible loops. Once the adjacent tiles are lined up properly, just step on the edges of the tiles or use your hands to press them down. The two tiles should quickly attach to each other, snapping into place.

When you want to uninstall the tiles, just pull up on the edge of the tile that has the hidden tabs on it, and they should pop out of the loops with just a little force applied. You than can stack the tile squares in storage until the next time you need the traction garage flooring.

Use of Expansion Joints

This style of flooring can accommodate the use of expansion joints, which allow the flooring to expand and contract slightly without buckling. Expansion joints are recommended to be installed in any garage or other area that may be exposed to significant temperature changes.

You can place these expansion joints every 5 to 7 feet. The expansion joints feature the same hidden tab and loop installation system that's featured with the full 12-by-12-inch tiles.

Each expansion joint measures 3 by 12 inches, making it easy to add them into the installation as you're working. Should you need to add expansion joints after installing the flooring, you can put in four expansion joint pieces spread across the length of the floor and remove one full tile to end up with the same overall size for the flooring. Each expansion joint tile allows up to 3/8 of an inch of expansion or contraction.

When figuring out where to place the expansion joints in the overall flooring, try to avoid placing the joints in an area where a vehicle tire or another heavy object will be placed directly on the expansion joint. Leave heavy objects on top of the 12-by-12 tiles, rather than on the expansion joint areas.

Maintenance and Care

These durable interlocking garage floor tiles do not require extensive time spent on cleaning and maintenance. These tiles will look great for a long time as long as you spend just a little bit of time with maintenance.

To clean the tiles, you can sweep away dry debris with a broom. For a more thorough cleaning, you can mop the floor with a mild floor cleaner mixed with water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, including solvents, on this type of flooring. Additionally, do not use polishes or waxes on the floor, which may cause it to become slippery.

The premium automotive floor tiles can handle having water on them, but should any other type of liquid or other substance be spilled on the floor, we recommend that you clean it as quickly as possible, just to avoid any potential of staining.
