Garage Flooring Tiles
The short answer is they're made from solid PVC and are not hollow recycled Polypropylene. Polypropylene is a much lower grade of plastic than PVC usually derived from recycled soda bottles and food containers. When recycled Polypropylene is used with a hollow core design resulting in an inferior tile prone to all sorts of problems and failures. Hollow core tiles are also stiff with no flexibility. This is a problem because no floor is exactly flat and level so the tiles don't sit 100% squarely on the floor. This causes them to pivot up and down as you drive over them which results in popping noises from the peg & loops "popping" in and out of each other. It also causes stress points at the high spots which eventually become failure points. Many lower priced tiles are lower priced because they use inferior imported materials and less of it.

This is what popular brand garage tiles look like compared to ours.
As you can plainly see from these two images there's no comparison between our solid garage flooring tiles and hollow cored peg and loop type tiles. Why would you pay almost the same amount of money for less than half the amount of material and quality you get with ArmorGarage Tiles? Our tiles range from 3/16" to a super heavy duty 5/16" thick of solid PVC as opposed to recycled polypropylene plastic derived mainly from soda bottles and take out food containers. You can tell the difference as soon as you walk or drive on them, they make a cheap Click Clack noise! In order to eliminate those noises you have to buy a special sound absorbing mat for additional money and labor to install it! Plus who and how are you going to clean it? Why not just buy a better tile that's actually sound deadening right out of the box?
Any tile can look great when first installed, it's how long they stay that way that counts! Nobody's tiles are as strong or as durable as Armor Tiles! ArmorGarage floor tiles are the number one tiles installed in Fire and EMS Departments across the country. Rated best by US Army, see the test report in the images at top of page. You can also ask Carbo Ceramics in Texas about Armor tiles. They manufacture abrasive particles that enhance the cutting performance of oil well drill bits, and those tiny particles tend to spill on the floor as employees walked around the plant the particles would grind through every garage floor tiles they tried except Armor Tiles which are now standard.
Also see our Garage Floor Mats for another easy and affordable flooring option for your Home or Business. Please note that Armor Garage floor tiles are sold by the square foot and not per tile. Please add 5% to the square footage of your floor for normal cutting waste when ordering any of the tiles. All tile thicknesses are nominal sizes and may vary by a 1/32".
Don't try this with peg & loop hollow core polypropylene tiles! Any tile can boast about an impressive roll over capacity. The problem is you're not in a constant state of rolling! For 99% of the time you have a static load on your tiles. This is where hollow tiles will start to pancake under heavy loads and form indented wear paths. There's no comparison in performance between a solid PVC tile with T-joints to recycled peg & loop tiles.
Hollow-cored tiles allow dirt, grime, corrosive road salts, and vehicle fluids through the tiles, causing unsightly grout lines to form in their seams. They shift and spread apart from turning wheels and pancake under static heavy loads such as car lifts or trucks. Hit our tile and a hollow core tile with a hammer and see which one holds up better!

What is the best way to cut garage floor tiles? ArmorGarage tiles can be cut on table saw, circular saw or jigsaw.
What is best way to install them? Start at the front of garage center point and install tiles to the left and right leaving the space at each sidewall to be filled in later. Be sure the first row is perfectly straight so that the tiles remain square all the way to the back wall. Once all the full tiles are installed simply measure the side wall and back wall spaces and cut tiles accoedingly to fill in.
What protection do the tiles need? ArmorGarage tiless need no protection they're virtually indestructible. The only precaution we recommend is when welding.
Should I glue the tiles down? ArmorGarage tiless weigh up to 5lbs each and require no adhesive unless they're installed in a commercial application with drive through traffic in one direction or if youinstall them in an application that will have a portion of the floor exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time then you need to glue that portion of the floor down to prevent bulging form heat expansion. Always leave about 3/8" clearance around walls for expansion and contration. If your space is temperature controlled you don't have to worry about this.
Can I install ArmorGarage floor tiles on a radiant heat floor? Yes radiant heat works great with our tiles.
Solid core garage tiles are the top of the line for any garage flooring project. They will last two lifetimes, are easy to install, look great, can withstand high impacts, are resistant to all acids, chemicals and road salts, are super easy to clean and maintain.
Cleaning solutions such as Simple Green work best, no need for harsh chemicals. If your tiles are uncoated and they get a stain you can try Magic Eraser to remove the stain.
Please note that newer tires have additives and plasticizers to make them last longer, these new chemicals on some tires tend to cause the rubber to leach out and stain all tiles. We strongly recommend a coat of a good commercial wax or a combination cleaner wax such as mentioned above, the Hillway Direct Plus Cleaner and Maintainer
You can do anything you want to them! They're virtually indestructible. We wouldn't recommend pressure washing with perforated Peg & Loop tiles since the high pressure from a pressure washer will cause the feather light tiles shift and possibly split apart!
There are two load ratings you should be aware of Rolling Load capacity and Static Load capacity with static load capacity being the much more important one. Unless you're installing your tiles in a production facility with lots of forklifts and rolling carts, the rollover capacity is irrelevant. Most applications have the load such as your car, truck or toy sitting on them in a stationary fashion. As time cause on weaker tiles can compress and form static load indents. ArmorGarage tiles or indent proof!
If you apply a good quality wax and or maintainer as recommended you'll only have to recoat once every 2-3 years depending on traffic and weather conditions.
Installing your new garage floor tiles couldn't be easier. They cut with any type of saw, a circular saw or jigsaw work best and they knock together with a rubber mallet. A typical 2 1/2 car garage can be done in 3-4 hours. Start from the center front row and work your way to the sides and then back toward the back wall leaving the final fill in pieces against the side walls and back wall for last. So you will be knocking together whole full tiles which will go very fast. Then measure the gap around the walls for each tile and cut a piece accordingly. leave about 1/4" gap if installing in warmer weather and 3/8" gap if installing in colder weather to facilitate expansion and contraction. You can install molding along the wall to cover the gap and the floor will expand and contract under the molding. We recommend putting some construction adhesive like Liquid Nails under the ramp edge and the first row or two of tiles to lock the floor in place.
Our garage tiles are very heavy weighing up to 4.5lbs each so when the whole floor is installed it's very heavy and will not move. They will however expand/contract with temperature changes like every material will. The majority of installations require no adhesive. The only times you need adhesives is if the tiles are going to be exposed to constant sunlight on a portion of the floor. If you leave your garage door or overhead door open all day and the sun is shinning on part of the floor that portion of the floor is going to get hotter than the rest of the floor. Therefore it will expand at a different rate and will often buckle at the line between sunlight and shade. If you leave your door open for short periods of time there's no need to glue the tiles down. The other application where you need adhesive is in commercial applications that have drive through situation. So if the tiles are open ended on both ends you need to glue them down.
A tape measure and circular saw, jigsaw and a rubber mallet to knock the tiles together is all you need.
Solid core tiles made from virgin PVC are the best quality you can buy. As opposed to Polypropylene tiles. Polypropylene tiles are made from recycled takeout food containers and soda bottles. Polypropylene costs less than half of what PVC costs. it is therefore not as strong, durable or flexible either. You'll also notice that Polyopropylene tiles are hollow and have only 4 Peg & Loop connectors on each side compared to our solid tiles that have continuous male and female T-Joints all around each side. The continuous T-Joints prevent the tiles from spreading apart and bulging. It's a far superior tile and in many cases either less expensive or not much more expensive than hollow Peg & Loop tiles. We no longer manufacture Peg & Loop tiles for garage floors due to the many short comings of this design.
YES, they actually work perfectly with radiant heat and are much better suited for in floor heat for garage floors or commercial floor applications.
YES, just fill out the Request For Quote form at the top of the page or you can call or email us for a prompt quote.
They range from as low as under $3.00/sf for cheap hollow tiles or imported tiles to as high as $6.50/sf for solid core PVC tiles depending on the thickness. There is no magic formula to making Garage Interlocking Tiles. It's a function of the quality/cost of the material used and the amount of the material used. For instance our tiles have on average 4lbs of high quality PVC vurses many Peg & Loop tiles that weigh less than a pound using cheap Polypropylene which costs less than half of PVC.
