Made from PVC plastic, the mats are 1-foot by 1-foot in size, with a thickness just over a half inch. While the surface edging is straight, the mats utilize a tab 'n loop connector system that clamps the tiles together firmly. They can be connected with simple pressure from a foot, and they disassemble quickly as well.
There are two popular versions of the StayLock Perforated Tiles. The first is an all-black tile, while the second is available in multiple colors.
One of the most important features for these tiles is the perforated top. This feature allows water to flow underneath the mats, preventing puddles from forming at the top. This creates better safety for anyone walking over the surface of these mats, and it's an important reason that StayLock Perforated Tiles have become so versatile.
The Many Uses of StayLock Perforated Tiles
So where can you use the StayLock Perforated Tiles? As you'll discover, you can use them for nearly any purpose. To give you an idea, here are a few of the top uses.1. Outdoor Playgrounds
One of the best uses for these PVC deck tiles is as a play area flooring. On the playground, you'll have children running, jumping, playing, and climbing, so a qualify surface that offers excellent traction and a soft landing makes parents, teachers, and caregivers feel much better. With this outdoor PVC flooring, kids can have more fun outdoors.2. Indoor Playgrounds
While the perforated surface makes the mats ideal for outdoor use, they can be just as effective inside. They provide traction and a softer landing surface for kids on the move, and can be extremely reliable for indoor playgrounds especially in areas such as basement where moisture may be present or rooms with a lot of sunlight. With a fall rating of 20 inches, they are much better than hard concrete, wood or tile floors.3. Decks
Many outdoor decks hold water on the surface and can become slippery when it rains. However, when you use these perforated tiles over your deck, you'll have a reliable, slip-resistant surface that enhances your deck and lets you relax in peace. They fit into place easily, and with multiple colors available, you can choose the right design to match your outdoor style.4. Dog Kennels
Keeping a dog healthy and happy often requires giving them plenty of space to roam and play. However, you will occasionally need to lock them inside a kennel while you are at work or on the go. To make sure the kennel has a safe, durable, and reliable flooring surface, you can use StayLock Perforated Tiles. These products are excellent for dogs feet, as the material won't be damaged by a dog's claws, but the surface is also easy on their foot pads and adds cushion where they sleep.With non-absorbent PVC material, the pet flooring won't absorb messes left by pets - or allow it to pool, which leads to a much healthier environment for the animals.
5. Pool Deck
Pools can be a dangerous place for both kids and adults, but it's not just the pool itself that present a safety concern. The pool deck, which can become slippery, is often a place for slips and falls, leading to bumps, bruises, and even broken bones. There's a good reason why lifeguards are always telling kids to walk!Perforated tile is the perfect addition to a pool deck. It provides a reliable surface that is slip-resistant, and thanks to the perforated surface, water that inevitably makes its way to the deck will drain underneath. There is no pooling on top and less chance of injury for everyone enjoying the pool!
6. Shower
Like pool decks, showers can become slippery and dangerous. Shower injuries are one of the top concerns, especially for elderly individuals who may have trouble with balance. While shower mats can be effective, our tiles can be extremely reliable as a wet area flooring, including inside a shower.Once again, the surface perforation is key to the mat's success. With water flowing underneath, these mats maintain a slip-resistant and non absorbant surface while allowing people to get the warm, relaxing shower they deserve.
7. Litter Box Area
If you have a cat in the home, you understand the importance of a clean area for their litter box. Lining the surrounding area with perforated tiles creates a beneficial space for both you and your cats.Simply place the tiles in an area where you usually keep the litter box and you'll have a non-absorbent flooring surface that you can keep clean with minimal effort. As you cat steps out of the litter box and onto the StayLock flooring, excess litter, clinging to its feet or fur can fall through the holes leaving a much cleaner floor surface. You can choose any color you desire to match your interior style, but remember to sweep under the tiles periodically.
8. Roof Deck
A roof deck is one of the best additions you can make to a home or a commercial building. It provides an outside space where people can relax, enjoy some fresh air, and take in a healthy dose of sunlight.

Many boats have carpet flooring that can be effective for maintaining traction in wet conditions.
