Why Choose PVC Tiles for Concrete Overlay?

Traditional flooring solutions like epoxy coatings, resin floors, and concrete treatments all share common problems: lengthy cure times, professional installation requirements, and vulnerability to moisture and movement. Our interlocking PVC tiles eliminate these issues entirely.

Key Advantages

Zero downtime: Install and use immediately – no 72-hour cure waiting

DIY installation: No specialist contractors required

Any substrate: Install over damaged concrete, existing floors, or new builds

No moisture issues: Works on damp substrates where epoxy fails

Section repairs: Replace individual tiles in minutes, not entire floors

Relocatable: Take your floor investment when you move premises

5 Tonnes Load Rating: Engineering Explained

Our tiles are independently tested to BS EN ISO 24344 – the European standard for measuring concentrated load resistance. The 5 tonnes point load rating means:

Vehicle jacks and stands: Full support for maintenance equipment

Heavy machinery: Industrial equipment bases and feet

Forklift traffic: Continuous operation without damage

Racking systems: Concentrated leg loads from storage systems

Rolling load capacity exceeds 20 tonnes – suitable for fully-loaded forklifts, HGVs, and heavy industrial traffic.

Chemical Resistance for Concrete Overlay Environments

Closed-cell PVC construction provides complete barrier protection against common concrete overlay chemicals:

Engine & Hydraulic Oil Full Resistance

Brake Fluid & Coolant Full Resistance

Diesel & Petrol Full Resistance

Industrial Degreasers Full Resistance

Battery Acid (dilute) Full Resistance

Spills stay on surface for easy cleanup. No absorption, no staining, no degradation.

PVC Tiles vs Epoxy: Complete Comparison

Factor PVC Tiles Epoxy Coating

Installation Time Hours 3-7 days

Cure/Downtime Zero 72+ hours

DIY Possible Yes No

Moisture Tolerance Excellent Poor

Repairs Replace tile (2 min) Grind & recoat entire floor

Lifespan 20+ years 5-10 years

Relocatable Yes No

Cost & ROI Analysis

At approximately £86 per m², initial investment is comparable to quality epoxy systems. However:

No installation labour: DIY saves £20-40/m² in contractor costs

No downtime costs: Immediate use vs 72+ hours facility closure

No recoating: Epoxy needs refinishing every 5-7 years

Spot repairs: Replace damaged tiles, not entire floor

20-year cost comparison: PVC tiles cost approximately half the lifetime cost of epoxy when factoring recoating and repairs.

Maintenance

Daily: Sweep or blow off debris

Weekly: Mop with standard floor cleaner

As needed: Degrease heavy contamination, pressure wash

Never required: No sealing, waxing, or refinishing

Frequently Asked Questions

How do these tiles compare to epoxy flooring?

PVC tiles install in hours vs days, require no cure time, work on damp substrates, and allow section repairs. Epoxy requires professional application, 72+ hour cure, fails on moisture, and needs full recoating when damaged.

Can I install over damaged or cracked concrete?

Yes. The rigid interlocking structure bridges cracks and imperfections up to 3mm. No need to repair existing concrete – simply sweep clean and install directly over it.

What load can these tiles support?

5 tonnes point load (BS EN ISO 24344 verified) and 20+ tonnes rolling load. Suitable for vehicle jacks, heavy machinery, forklifts, and HGV traffic.

Are these tiles oil and chemical resistant?

Yes. Closed-cell PVC provides complete barrier protection against oils, fuels, hydraulic fluid, coolants, and industrial chemicals. Spills stay on surface for easy cleanup.

How long does installation take?

Approximately 50m² in 2-3 hours with two people. No specialist tools or skills required – tiles click together by hand.

Do these tiles meet fire safety regulations?

Yes. Bfl-s1 rated to EN 13501-1, satisfying UK Building Regulations and typical insurance requirements for commercial and industrial premises.

What happens if a tile gets damaged?

Simply replace the individual tile in under 2 minutes. Lift surrounding edges, remove damaged tile, click in replacement. No contractors or curing required.

Can I take the floor with me if I move premises?

Yes. No adhesive means tiles lift up and reinstall elsewhere. Your floor is an asset you own, not a fixture you leave behind.

Are these tiles slippery when wet or oily?

No. R10 anti-slip rating to DIN 51130 means the textured surface maintains grip even when contaminated with water, oil, or other fluids.
