Don’t Try This With Hollow Core Peg & Loop Polypropylene Tiles!
How ArmorGarage Tiles Beat RaceDeck, SwissTrax & Hollow-Core Competitors
No other garage floor tile comes close to the performance of ArmorGarage solid PVC tiles. There's a critical difference between roll-over capacity and static load capacity. Some tiles advertise impressive roll-over numbers but their static load capacity is only a fraction of that — they'll deform into a U-shape with edges curling up under heavy static loads like parked vehicles, tool chests, and lifts.
Shore D Hardness 94: Our proprietary PVC formulation tests at Shore D 94 — harder than construction hard hats but also flexible enough to conform to uneven concrete. This is exactly where all hollow peg & loop type tiles fail.
- 100% Solid PVC: Not hollow underneath — take a hammer to our tile vs. a hollow-core tile and see the difference immediately
- No Tile Rattle or Click-Clack: Sound deadening solid construction — no popping, clicking, or hollow clacking noises when walked on
- No Tire Ruts: Won't form ruts and indents from repetitive vehicle traffic like soft competitor tiles do
- Machined to Tight Tolerances: Fit together perfectly and won't buckle or lift at the edges
- True Solid Construction: 4 lbs per tile vs. under 1 lb for hollow-core competitors
Don’t Be Fooled by "Solid Tiles" Claims: Look at the bottom of so-called "solid" tiles from RaceDeck, SwissTrax, and similar brands — they're only solid on the wear surface and completely hollow underneath. That's why they weigh ounces while our tiles weigh pounds. Don't be fooled by thickness either — they're thicker because they have to be to compensate for being hollow. You're getting a 1/16" wear surface vs. our solid 1/4" tile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes ArmorGarage tiles different from RaceDeck and SwissTrax?
The fundamental difference is solid vs. hollow construction. RaceDeck and SwissTrax use hollow peg & loop polypropylene tiles that weigh under 1 lb each. ArmorGarage tiles are 100% solid PVC weighing 4 lbs each, with a Shore D hardness of 94 and a continuous T-joint locking system around the entire perimeter. Under heavy static loads like parked vehicles or floor jacks, hollow tiles deform and curl at the edges. Solid PVC tiles don't.
Do I need to prepare or repair my concrete floor before installing?
No — that's one of the biggest advantages of solid PVC interlocking tiles. Just sweep off debris and install directly over any concrete regardless of condition. Our tiles bridge over cracks and divots up to 3" wide. No adhesive, no grinding, no etching, no waiting for cures.
What is the weight capacity of ArmorGarage garage floor tiles?
160,000 lbs roll-over capacity and 80,000 lbs static load capacity. Rated for vehicles as heavy as fully loaded fire engines. For reference, a typical loaded Ford F-350 weighs around 14,000 lbs — well within spec.
Will the tiles shift, separate, or make noise when walked or driven on?
No. The continuous T-joint system locks every edge of every tile to its neighbors — not just at spaced intervals like peg & loop systems. The solid PVC construction also eliminates the hollow clicking and clacking noise common with polypropylene tiles. Once installed, the floor feels and sounds like a solid surface.
Can I install these tiles myself?
Yes — no tools, no adhesive, no special skills required. Start from one corner, snap tiles together using the T-joint system, and cut edge tiles to fit with a circular saw or jigsaw. Most 2-car garages can be completed in a few hours. The only accessory needed is a rubber mallet for tight joints.
Will vehicle tires stain the tiles?
Tire staining is possible on any PVC tile under certain conditions (particularly with performance tires that run very hot). We strongly recommend applying Hillway Direct Plus Cleaner and Maintainer — it creates a protective barrier that prevents staining and keeps tiles looking new. This is especially important for show garages and lighter colored tiles.
How are the tiles priced and shipped?
Tiles are sold and priced per square foot — enter your total square footage in the quantity box, not the number of tiles. Add 5% for cutting waste. Orders of $1,500+ ship free on a pallet via truck with liftgate service. Orders under $1,500 have a $200 shipping charge due to the weight of solid PVC. Gray and black ship in 2–3 business days; other colors require 3–4 weeks fabrication time.
What size are the tiles and what colors are available?
Each tile is 20.5" x 20.5" — larger than most competitor tiles, which means fewer joints and faster installation per square foot. Gray and black are stocked and ship quickly. Additional colors are available with 3–4 week fabrication time. Custom colors are available on orders of 3,000 SF or more.
Can I use these tiles in a commercial or industrial setting?
Yes — ArmorGarage solid PVC tiles are used in power plant turbine rooms, industrial shops, military facilities, and commercial garages. The 80,000 lb static load rating and Shore D 94 hardness make them suitable for forklifts, heavy machinery, and constant commercial traffic. See the Kyger Creek Power Station installation above as an example.
Armor Interlocking Garage Flooring Tiles
Our garage tiles come in a standard size of 20.5" x 20.5" (2.9 sq. ft/tile). Therefore you need to install less tiles than standard 1 sq ft tiles. You can easily trim or cut Armor Tiles with any type power saw! They cut smoothly and cleanly with no ragged edges! Install a 3 car garage in 3 hrs! Our larger Tile give your floor a far superior look compared to 12" tiles.
ORDERING INFO:Tiles are sold per the sq ft, we suggest you add a minimum of 5% to the square footage of your floor to account for cutting waste or a cutting mistake. Simply enter the adjusted square footage of your floor into the qty order box and we'll determine the amount of tiles needed, we round up to the nearest full tile. Please note that orders of garage tiles UNDER 200 SF are not returnable. We very seldom sell floors that small and each batch of tiles varies slightly in color so that a small amount of the garage tiles being returned would not be resell-able due to the fact that they wouldn't match any new tiles being produced.
ORDER EXAMPLE: Floor is 22' x 20'= 440 sq/ft * 5% = 462 sq/ft. You enter the adjusted square footage of "462" in the qty order box. We'll determine the amount of tiles when we process your order, in this example the total number of tiles is 159 tiles.
Installing Your ArmorGarage Garage Tiles
No special tools, no messy coatings, no waiting for cure times. Start in the morning and park on your new floor by the afternoon.
Step 1: Floor Preparation
For standard residential garage installations, floor prep is simple — just sweep the floor clean. The interlocking tiles float over your existing concrete and do not require adhesive in most garage applications.
For commercial installations where tiles will be glued down: Power wash the floor to remove all dirt and loose debris. Mix one cup of TSP (trisodium phosphate) with 5 gallons of water and scrub the floor to degrease it. Oil or grease in the concrete can affect adhesive bonding. Allow the floor to dry completely before installation.
Step 2: Tile Installation
- Start from front to back, installing full tiles first. Work row by row from the garage door toward the back wall, interlocking each tile as you go. Use a rubber mallet to firmly seat the connections.
- Check for small side pieces. If your layout leaves you with only 1–3” pieces along a side wall, shift the entire floor toward one side to give yourself a larger, more stable piece to work with.
- Knock in the main field with a rubber mallet. Once the full-tile area is complete, go back and make your cuts along the side walls and back wall.
- Cut tiles to fit along walls using any power saw. For circular cuts and cuts around door jambs, use a jig saw. A utility knife can handle a few intricate cuts in a pinch, but a jig saw is a must if you have more than a few complex cuts.
Step 3: Ramp Edge Installation
The ramp edge creates a smooth transition from your garage floor to the tile surface at the garage door opening:
- Trim the tabs off the front row tiles where the ramp edge will attach. This allows the ramp to slide on flush.
- Apply a bead of construction adhesive under the ramp edge and under the first row of tiles. This locks the transition in place and prevents shifting.
- For extra strength, apply a high-quality epoxy adhesive (such as JB Weld) inside the U-slot of the ramp edge to bond the tile into the ramp channel.
This is the only area that requires adhesive in a standard garage installation. The rest of the floor floats freely, allowing for natural expansion and contraction.
Working Around Floor Drains
If your garage has a floor drain or trench drain, you can tile right over it while maintaining full drainage:
- Glue the tiles over the drain area to prevent them from shifting or lifting
- For small circular drains, use a jig saw or large hole saw to cut a circular piece out of the tile. Drill drainage holes into the cutout piece and fit it back into the tile for a clean, professional look
- For trench drains, drill holes or router slots into the tiles covering the drain to allow water to pass through
Pro tip: Cutting a removable drain insert rather than permanently modifying the tile gives you easy access to clean the drain when needed.
When to Glue Tiles Down
Gluing is unnecessary for most standard garage installations. The interlocking system holds the floor together under normal use. However, gluing is recommended in these situations:
How to Glue Properly
- Dry-lay approximately half the floor first — install the tiles without glue to ensure everything is perfectly square. If you're off even slightly, the interlocking tabs won't align at the far end
- Once confirmed square, remove the first half and reinstall with adhesive
- Repeat for the second half. Remove the dry-laid section and reinstall with adhesive
Why the two-step process matters: A small alignment error compounds across the floor. It's not a big deal when tiles are floating, but if tiles are glued down crooked, the interlocking tabs won't fit together and you'll have a permanent problem. Always dry-lay first.
After Installation: Protect Your New Floor
Apply the recommended tile sealer after installation. Modern tires contain additives and plasticizers that can cause rubber to leach onto tile surfaces and leave stains. This is true of any tile product, not just ours. The tile sealer creates a protective barrier that prevents tire marks and makes routine cleaning easier.
Cleaning & maintenance is simple. See the FAQ section for detailed cleaning and maintenance tips to keep your floor looking new for years.
A note on tire marks; we get asked a lot if tires will leave marks on our tile. Staining is caused by a component used by manufacturers of car tires called ‘6PPD’ [phenaline diamine].
6PPD is an anti-oxidant and is added to rubber products to resist environmental attack by ozone and ultraviolet light. It also has other beneficial effects in the molding of rubber itself. Since it adds to the cost of making tires, manufacturers usually only add it to the softer high performance tires. So there are some off road tires and high performance tires with soft compounds that leach rubber onto the tiles. Recently we have seen these stain causing additives in regular street tires also so we strongly recommend Hillway Direct Plus Cleaner and Maintainer for all tiles. You can even order the micro fiber application mop from the same website which from our research has the best prices. This is a great product that will give you years of maintenance free service. We have never had a complaint about this product.
Our 19.5 x 19.5(nominal size) Garage Floor Tiles come standard in Coin Pattern or Flat Pattern, please note that other tiles of similar size that look the same will not interlock with our tiles. Our other size tiles are available in Textured, Slate and Diamond finish.
