Interlocking floor tiles offer various advantages for multiple applications. Many people remain unaware of these benefits, so here are 15 reasons to use them.

Advantages of Interlocking Floor Tiles

Interlocking Means Easy Installation

One of the primary benefits of interlocking floor tiles is their ease and speed of installation. Many customers successfully install the tiles themselves, requiring no assistance. Simply align the tiles and tap them into place—no adhesive or screed is necessary. They can even be placed over existing or damaged flooring, eliminating the need for prior repairs.

Easy Maintenance

Cleaning dirt and dust from PVC interlocking tiles is straightforward. A broom, vacuum, or damp mop is sufficient. At Ecotile, we provide cleaning products to help keep your tiles looking pristine. If a section of your floor sustains damage, the interlocking system allows for easy replacement of individual tiles.

Floor Protection

Interlocking tiles are durable and impact-resistant, serving as a protective layer for your floor. This helps prevent potential damage and costly repairs. For warehouses or industrial settings with heavy traffic from forklifts and vehicles, PVC interlocking floor tiles can withstand significant weight and vibrations, preserving the integrity of your sub-floor.

Built to Last

Ecotile interlocking floor tiles are manufactured to the highest quality standards, ensuring durability and longevity. We guarantee them for ten years, and their lifecycle can extend to twenty years in many applications. With our longevity in business, you can trust that we will be available for future flooring needs.

Recyclable Floor Tiles

We take pride in our sustainable flooring options. Ecotile interlocking PVC floor tiles are entirely recyclable. Without glues or screed, they can be reused and recycled. We offer a buy-back service for replacing old tiles, thus contributing to an environmentally-friendly option compared to other flooring types!

No Damp Proof Membrane Required

If your flooring is uneven, damp, or contaminated, interlocking floor tiles can provide protection without needing a damp proof membrane, screed, or adhesive. Just align and tap them into place for effective moisture-resistant flooring.

Variety of Choices and Colors

We offer a variety of thicknesses, colors, and textures for our interlocking floor tiles. Available in 5mm, 7mm, and 10mm thicknesses, you can tailor your flooring to suit any application—from walkways to demarcation zones—the possibilities are limitless with Ecotile.

Modern Appearance

Interlocking PVC floor tiles are not only durable but also visually appealing. Their smart, modern look is consistent and enduring, preventing excessive wear or paint delamination. Although some minor scuffs may occur over time, replacement is quick and efficient because the tiles can be snapped in and out easily.

Chemical Resistance

If you frequently transport chemicals, solvents, or oils, PVC interlocking floor tiles are your best choice. They resist numerous corrosive agents and chemicals, including alcohols, salts, and petrol.

Reduction in Dust, Shock, and Noise

As noted, interlocking floor tiles prevent dust accumulation due to their neat locking mechanism. They also absorb shock and noise, reducing sound levels by up to 46 decibels—a significant difference. Their robust structure minimizes shock and impact, lowering the risk of damage from heavy loads.

Slip-Resistant Floor Tiles

PVC floor tiles boast higher friction resistance compared to other flooring solutions, achieving an R10 slip rating. They are a reliable and safe choice for industrial and workplace environments.

Insulation Properties

Along with noise insulation, interlocking floor tiles provide heat insulation. The tight interlocking design prevents heat loss through gaps and shields against cold and damp from the floor below, creating a warm and comfortable working surface.

Fire Retardant

In case of a fire in a workplace where Ecotile PVC interlocking floor tiles are installed, flames will not spread, and toxic fumes are not emitted. Ecotile does not support combustion and achieves Class 1 spread of flame per BS 476: Part 7 / European Classification: BFL.

Flexibility in Design

Like easily replaceable tiles, interlocking tiles have the advantage of being moved and rearranged effortlessly. Adjustments to your design and layout can be made quickly and seamlessly.

Lower Life Cycle Cost

Investing in Ecotile flooring is a wise choice due to its lower life cycle cost. As a genuinely sustainable flooring solution, all pre-and post-installation materials are recycled, and old tiles may be reused, giving them a full life cycle.
