Engineered for Industrial Load Requirements

Industrial environments demand flooring that handles loads consumer products never face. Our 5 tonnes point load rating is independently verified to BS EN ISO 24344 – the European standard for measuring concentrated load resistance.

What Industrial Operations Require

Forklift traffic: Counterbalance forklifts up to 5 tonnes operating continuously

Pallet jacks: Manual and powered pallet trucks with full loads

Racking systems: Heavy-duty pallet racking with concentrated leg loads

Heavy machinery: Production equipment, CNC machines, presses

HGV access: Articulated lorries in loading bays

Rolling containers: Cages, stillages, and roll containers

Rolling Load Capacity: 20+ Tonnes

Beyond static point loads, industrial floors face continuous rolling traffic. Our tiles support rolling loads exceeding 20 tonnes – meaning fully-loaded forklifts, reach trucks, and powered pallet movers operate safely throughout their duty cycles.

Warehouse & Factory Applications

Distribution Centres

High-traffic pick zones, packing areas, and dispatch bays. Tiles withstand continuous forklift and pallet truck movement while providing anti-fatigue benefits for warehouse operatives.

Manufacturing Plants

Production floors, assembly lines, and machine shops. Chemical resistance handles coolants, cutting fluids, and hydraulic oil without degradation.

Logistics Facilities

Cross-dock operations, sortation areas, and loading bays. Quick installation means new facilities come online faster; section repairs take minutes not days.

Food & Beverage Production

Hygienic surface cleans easily. Chemical resistance handles sanitisers and cleaning agents. Closed-cell construction prevents bacterial harbourage.

Automotive & Engineering

Machine shops, component assembly, and quality inspection areas. Oil and coolant resistance essential for metalworking environments.

Zero Downtime Installation: Operational Continuity

Traditional industrial flooring (epoxy, resin, polished concrete) requires facility shutdown. Our interlocking tiles install during operations – section by section if needed.

Installation Advantages

No cure time: Walk and work on tiles immediately after installation

Section-by-section: Install overnight or during quiet periods

No grinding: Install over existing concrete, epoxy, or painted floors

No moisture testing: Install on new or damp concrete

DIY or contractor: Simple enough for facilities teams, scalable for contractors

Installation Speed

A two-person team installs approximately 100m² per day. A 1,000m² warehouse floor completes in under two weeks with minimal operational disruption.

Phased Installation

Install one zone while operations continue in another. Racking areas overnight. Picking zones during weekends. Loading bays during quiet shifts. No full facility shutdown required.

Chemical Resistance for Industrial Environments

Industrial floors face chemical exposure that destroys standard flooring. Our closed-cell PVC construction provides complete barrier protection.

Verified Resistance

Hydraulic Oil Full Resistance

Cutting Fluids & Coolants Full Resistance

Diesel & Lubricants Full Resistance

Battery Acid (dilute) Full Resistance

Industrial Degreasers Full Resistance

Cleaning Chemicals Full Resistance

Solvents (short exposure) Full Resistance

Spill Management

Fluids stay on surface for easy cleanup. No absorption into flooring substrate. No permanent staining. Spill response is simple – contain, absorb, clean.

UK Industrial Compliance

Fire Safety: Bfl-s1

Classified to EN 13501-1:

B: Limited contribution to fire spread

fl: Flooring-specific rating

s1: Minimal smoke production

Meets Building Regulations and insurance requirements for industrial premises. Fire certificates available for compliance documentation.

Slip Resistance: R10

Rated to DIN 51130 for slip resistance with oil contamination. Meets HSE workplace safety requirements. Suitable for areas with water, oil, or coolant exposure.

Load Certification

BS EN ISO 24344 test certificates available for:

• Insurance compliance

• HSE inspections

• Building control sign-off

• Client/customer audits

Material Engineering: Industrial-Grade Construction

Virgin PVC Compound

100% virgin PVC – not recycled material with inconsistent properties. Every batch delivers identical chemical resistance, load performance, and dimensional stability.

Closed-Cell Architecture

Complete fluid barrier. No absorption of oils, coolants, or chemicals. No swelling or degradation over time. Maintains performance throughout 20+ year lifespan.

10mm Thickness

Industrial-grade thickness provides:

• Maximum load distribution

• Impact absorption for dropped items

• Anti-fatigue properties for standing workers

• Thermal insulation from cold concrete

Precision Interlocking

Engineered connection system creates stable floor plane under forklift traffic. No tile separation or edge lifting under continuous rolling loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can forklifts operate on these tiles?

Yes. The 5 tonnes point load and 20+ tonnes rolling load ratings mean counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, and powered pallet movers operate safely. Tiles are specifically designed for industrial MHE traffic.

Can we install without stopping operations?

Yes. Section-by-section installation allows operations to continue in adjacent areas. Many clients install overnight, during weekends, or during quiet shifts with no facility shutdown.

What substrate preparation is required?

Minimal. Sweep clean and install. Tiles lay over existing concrete, epoxy, or painted floors. No grinding, priming, or moisture testing required. Surface imperfections up to 3mm are acceptable.

Do you provide load test certificates?

Yes. BS EN ISO 24344 test certificates are available for insurance compliance, HSE inspections, and customer audits. Fire rating (Bfl-s1) and slip rating (R10) documentation also available.

How do tiles perform with hydraulic oil exposure?

Excellent. Closed-cell PVC provides complete barrier protection against hydraulic oil, cutting fluids, coolants, and lubricants. Fluids stay on surface for easy cleanup with no absorption or degradation.

What's the installation rate?

A two-person team installs approximately 100m² per day. A 1,000m² warehouse floor completes in under two weeks. Larger teams scale proportionally.

Can tiles be relocated to a new facility?

Yes. No adhesive means tiles lift up and reinstall elsewhere. Valuable if leasing premises or planning future relocation. The floor is an asset, not a fixture.

What happens if a tile is damaged?

Replace the individual tile in approximately 2 minutes. Lift surrounding tiles, remove damaged unit, click in replacement. No contractors, no curing, no operational disruption.

Do you offer volume discounts?

Yes. Contact us for project pricing on orders over 500m². We provide formal quotations for facilities managers, procurement teams, and contractors.

Can we get samples for evaluation?

Yes. Free samples available for quality assessment, load testing, and stakeholder approval. Visit our Free Samples page or contact us directly.
