Understanding the 5 tonnes Load Rating

Our 5 tonnes point load rating means these tiles withstand concentrated weight from vehicle jacks, heavy equipment, and industrial machinery without compression failure or permanent deformation.

This rating is independently verified to BS EN ISO 24344, measuring resistance to concentrated loads through a 10mm diameter indentor. Testing documentation is available for insurance and HSE compliance requirements.

Practical applications:

• Vehicle lift pads and hydraulic jack points

• Heavy equipment and machinery bases

• Rolling loads from trolleys and carts

• Static loads from racking and storage systems

Material Science: Why Virgin PVC Outperforms

Our tiles use 100% virgin PVC in closed-cell construction – here's why this engineering choice matters:

Virgin PVC vs Recycled: Recycled PVC contains unknown additives and degraded polymer chains that reduce chemical resistance and load performance. Virgin material delivers consistent, documented specifications.

Closed-Cell vs Open-Cell: Closed-cell construction creates complete fluid barrier protection. Open-cell structures absorb fluids over time, leading to swelling, odour retention, and structural degradation.

PVC vs Polypropylene: Polypropylene tiles become brittle in cold temperatures and offer lower chemical resistance. PVC maintains flexibility and performance from -20°C to +60°C.

Installation Guide: Zero Downtime Floor Transformation

Unlike epoxy systems requiring 72-hour cure times, our interlocking tiles install directly over existing floors during operational hours.

Installation Process:

Preparation: Sweep floor clean. No grinding, priming, or moisture testing required.

Starting Point: Begin in corner, working outward. Leave 5mm expansion gap at walls.

Connection: Align tiles and press down firmly – interlocks click together without tools.

Cutting: Score with utility knife and snap. No power tools required.

Edge Finishing: Install ramp edges for smooth transitions where required.

Subfloor Compatibility: Concrete (any age), existing tiles, painted floors, even slightly uneven surfaces up to 3mm.

Chemical Resistance: Industrial-Grade Protection

Our closed-cell PVC construction provides complete barrier protection against:

Engine Oil (conventional & synthetic) Full Resistance

Transmission & Hydraulic Fluid Full Resistance

Brake Fluid (DOT 3, 4, 5, 5.1) Full Resistance

Coolant & Antifreeze Full Resistance

Diesel & Petrol (short exposure) Full Resistance

Battery Acid (dilute) Full Resistance

Industrial Degreasers Full Resistance

Slip Rating: R10 Anti-Slip Surface

Our textured surface achieves R10 rating to DIN 51130 – the German standard for measuring slip resistance on inclined surfaces with oil contamination.

What R10 Means:

• Safe walking surface at inclination angles of 10-19°

• Suitable for areas with occasional water or oil contamination

• Meets HSE requirements for commercial environments

• Maintains grip even when contaminated with oil films

Fire Rating: Bfl-s1 Commercial Compliance

Our tiles carry Bfl-s1 fire classification to EN 13501-1 – the European standard for construction product fire performance.

B: Limited contribution to fire spread (second-highest rating)

fl: Flooring-specific classification

s1: Minimal smoke production

This rating satisfies Building Regulations for commercial premises and meets insurance specifications for industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What load rating do these tiles support?

These tiles have a verified 5 tonnes point load rating to BS EN ISO 24344, suitable for vehicle jacks, heavy equipment, and industrial machinery.

Can I install over existing concrete without preparation?

Yes. Simply sweep clean and lay directly. No grinding, priming, or moisture testing required. The rigid structure bridges minor imperfections up to 3mm.

How long does installation take?

A 50m² area takes 2-3 hours with two people. No specialist tools required – tiles click together by hand, and cutting requires only a utility knife.

Are these tiles oil and chemical resistant?

Yes. Closed-cell PVC construction provides complete barrier protection against oils, fuels, brake fluid, coolant, and industrial chemicals. Fluids stay on surface for easy cleanup.

What's the difference between 7mm and 10mm thickness?

Both provide excellent load ratings. 10mm offers additional impact absorption and anti-fatigue properties for heavy industrial use. 7mm suits lighter commercial applications.

Do these tiles meet fire safety regulations?

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

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.

Are these tiles slippery when wet or oily?

No. R10 slip resistance rating to DIN 51130 means the textured surface maintains grip even when contaminated with oil or water.
