Tuesday, 20 December 2016

Bricoflor is known for supplying a great variety of flooring and wallpaper for both commercial and residential use. Nevertheless, we noticed a gap in our product range, for durable, easy to install and maintain flooring, for the messy jobs.

Are you looking for garage flooring ideas? Look no further!

fortelock-fortemix-private-garageOur ranges of carpet tiles, engineered wood flooring and laminate have high quality performance, but are not the most effective and efficient choice for  working environments such as garages, gyms, warehouses, shops or factories. For this reason, we introduce these amazing garage floor tiles!

About Interlocking Garage Floor Tiles UK

This product is suitable for your private garage as well commercial garage spaces , because of the outstanding qualities resulting from the manufacturing process. Time of installation is minimal and the flooring is ready for immediate use, which means no need to close down or wonder where to store furniture, while the floor dries. As the installation itself does not require additional tools and expertise, you can do it yourself quickly by simply using a hammer. The tiles are highly resistant to moisture, which will save you valuable time and money on prepping the base and you can adjust the tiles to the space by simply cutting the edges with a knife.

Application of Garage Flooring

To summarise Fortelock garage tiles have serious advantage on all aspects:

• Price of material is higher than alternatives, due to the high quality and performance, which you receive when using Fortelock garage tiles. Most importantly, the floor is easily removable; you can take the flooring with you if you decide to move, which will save you on purchasing tiles again!

• The installation of the Fortelock garage tiles requires minimum effort as you can lay them yourself (using only a hammer and a knife to adjust the corners).

• Long-term durability and stability even in heavy industry as well as to mechanical damage, oil and chemicals

• A floor that breathes – Air-Flow anti-moisture system. The bottom sides of Fortelock tiles contain a unique system of drainage channels providing moisture drainage and thus preventing problems caused by moisture in the sub floor and the occurrence of mould, e.g. for using as floors for garages or sports areas etc.

• Speed and ease of installation independent of the substrate

• The subfloor does not need any preparation by trowel finishing and the flooring does not have to be bonded etc., therefore it is suitable for very quick refurbishment to the floor or as repair to the floor.

• Fortelock garage flooring is easy to install. It is typically enough to use a rubber mallet and a knife. That is why garage floors or even sports floors are completed very quickly.

• Long-term durability and stability even in heavy industry as well as to mechanical damage, oil and chemicals.

• If damaged, it is easy to replace one tile.

• The subfloor does not need any preparation by trowel finishing and the flooring does not have to be bonded etc., therefore it is suitable for very quick refurbishment to the floor or as repair to the floor.

• The thickness of 7 mm is why Fortelock tiles resist high and frequent loads, impacts (e.g. from a hammer), chemicals, etc. Furthermore, the quality of Fortelock plastic tiles is guaranteed in accordance with European standards, above all EN 14041.

• Individual Fortelock tiles or the whole floor can be demounted and transferred to a new site as need may be, e.g. to a new rental.

Which type of garage tiles should be used?

With respect to the variability of garages, it is necessary to try the most suitable type. For garages for passenger cars, workshops, basements etc., you can use Fortelock 2050/2060 tiles for a medium load rate.

The use of Fortelock 2010/2020 tiles for a high load rate are recommended if heavy trucks move around the floor or if the floor is expected to be exposed to a highly concentrated (point) load.
