Light Duty Garage Floor Tiles
ArmorGarage Light Duty tiles are made with the same high-quality construction as our 1/4" heavy-duty garage tiles but at 3/16" thick — the perfect less-expensive option for residential garages with standard vehicles and commercial spaces with light traffic. Even at 3/16", they still outperform any hollow peg & loop tile on the market.
Made with 100% prime PVC and backed by a lifetime warranty that is both assumable and transferable. If you relocate and take your tiles with you, the warranty follows the tile. If you leave your home to your children, they get lifetime coverage too. These are a forever floor.
Why ArmorGarage Light Duty Tiles Outperform Peg & Loop Tiles
These tiles exceed the quality of typical hollow-core peg & loop tiles such as RaceDeck, SwissTrax, and others — at a lower cost per square foot. The difference is in the connection system and construction:
β As few as 4–5 connectors per side
β Connectors snap off and flex in/out
β Brittle polypropylene — cracks at stress points
β Hollow = click-clack noise when driven on
β Forms wear paths and indents over time
β Continuous T-Joint or dovetail all around
β Close-tolerance joints — won't separate
β Flexible solid PVC — conforms to your floor
β Sound deadening — quiet underfoot
β No wear paths or indents from static loads
Technical Specifications
Available in two patterns: Coin texture or textured flat pattern. Black and gray tiles are usually in stock. Custom colors available for orders of 3,000 sq ft or more — please allow 6–8 weeks for custom color delivery or multi-color floors other than black & gray.
Ideal Applications
Designed for standard residential vehicles, light/medium-duty commercial trucks, and 1,000 lb rolling tool chests. Won't bend, separate, or lift when turning on them, and stays securely attached at all times. Won't form wear paths or indents like hollow-core tiles.
Installation: Fast, Easy, No Special Tools
Tiles simply snap together with a rubber mallet forming a tight, safe seam that will not come apart. Cut with any power saw for clean edges. No adhesive, no cure time, no professional installer needed. Install a standard 2.5-car garage in just a few hours.
No downtime, no waiting for epoxy to dry, and no leaving your belongings or cars outside. Drive on it the moment you're done.
We recommend purchasing the ramp edging so that your doors and entryways have a smooth transition to the floor surface. Order the Heavy Duty Ramp Edge in the lineal footage required for use with these tiles.
Protecting Against Tire Staining
Tire staining has become more prevalent due to tire manufacturers using more additives to increase mileage ratings. We recommend coating all tiles with Hillway Direct Plus Cleaner and Maintainer to protect against tire staining. This product has proven effective with great customer feedback.
How to Order
Tiles are sold by the square foot, not by the tile. Enter the total square footage you need into the Quantity Box. Add 5% to your total square footage for cutting waste. We will calculate the number of tiles needed for you.
Shipping note: Due to the weight of our tiles, small quantities are costly to ship by the box. All orders under $1,500 will have a $200 shipping charge. Orders of $1,500 or more ship free on a pallet via truck with liftgate service.

Simply start from front to back installing full tiles. Leave the side wall and back wall cuts for last. If you end up with a small 1-3" piece on each side wall we suggest you shift the floor to one side to give yourself a bigger piece to work with.
We recommend that you start with the MALE RAMP EDGE so that you get a good starting point at the inside edge of the door. Then put a bead of good construction adhesive under the ramp and part of the first row tiles to lock everything in place.
Floor prep is simple, just sweep the floor clean. If gluing the floor down for commercial installations we suggest you power wash the floor to remove all dirt and loose debris. We would also suggest you mix a cup of TSP with 5 gallons of water and scrub that over the floor to degrease it. Oil or grease in the floor could effect the bonding of the adhesive.
Tiles can be cut with any power saw, circular cuts can be made with a utility knife. If cutting around door jambs a mini circular saw works great or you can use a utility knife for these cuts. But if you have a lot of these cuts to make it's best to have a mini circular saw.
If gluing the tiles down you should install aprox. half the tiles then begin gluing the tiles down. Once the half is completed with the glue then you can remove the other half and reinstall them with glue. The reason for this extra step is make sure that you are installing the tiles perfectly square. If you are off a little bit you will get to a point where the interlocking tabs won't fit together. Not a big deal when not gluing them down but an obvious bigger problem if the tiles are glued down. Installing about half the floor loose will ensure you're tiles are square.
Once you've installed your new tiles be sure to protect them with the recommended tile sealer. Tires today are made with new additives and plasticizers that can cause the rubber to leach out of your tires and stain the tiles. This holds true for any tile.
Please see the "MUST READ TAB" for further information regarding staining and protective coatings.
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 β6PPDβ [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.
The tiles are sold by the square foot. Measure the square footage of your floor area and then add 5%. Then enter that total into the Quantity box. We will send you the number of tiles to cover that square footage.
