All Garage Floor Tiles

Why are ArmorGarage tiles more expensive?

ArmorGarage tiles are solid PVC made in one thick layer and not multilayered with cheap filler materials or hollow core.


How durable is garage flooring in extreme heat or cold?
Temperature has no effect on the durability of our garage floor tiles.

How much do  garage floor tiles cost?
Can average between $4.85-6.45/sf depending on type.

Why is it important to use garage floor tiles?
Garage floor tiles protect your concrete floor from corrosive vehicle fluids and road salts. They also upgrade the value of your home and can hide deteriorated concrete that was never protected.

How are garage floor tiles cleaned?
After installation, you should apply a good vinyl floor wax/sealer, and then it's as simple as hosing the floor clean. See the link to the Hillway Direct Floor Sealer.

How quickly do the garage floor tiles ship out?
 Black or Gray tiles ship out in 1-2 business days. Other colors are usually 4-6 weeks, multicolor floors please allow 6-8 weeks as we make these on a custom order basis.

What is the manufacturing warranty / extended warranty for garage floor tiles?
ArmorGarage tiless carry an unconditional lifetime warranty.

What is the best way to cut garage floor tiles?
ArmorGarage tiles can be cut on a table saw, with a circular saw, or a jigsaw.

What is best way to install them?
Start at the front of the 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 accordingly to fill in.

What protection do the tiles need?
ArmorGarage tiles need no protection; they're virtually indestructible. We recommend maintaining them with the sealer we recommend on the product pages. The only precaution needed 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 you install them in an application that will have a portion of the floor exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time. The sun will cause that section to expand while the rest of floor won't be expanding, and therefore, you need to glue that portion of the floor down to prevent bulging fromm heat expansion. Always leave about 3/8" clearance around walls for expansion and contraction. 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.

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.

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.

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.
