Garage Tiles 101
Everything you need to know about interlocking garage tiles — no jargon, just the essentials.
What Are Interlocking Tiles?
Interlocking garage tiles are modular flooring squares that click together without glue, adhesive, or special tools. They sit directly on your existing concrete and can be installed in hours.
- Click-lock system — tiles snap together via interlocking lugs on each edge
- No glue or adhesive — lay directly on clean, dry concrete
- Fully removable — take them with you if you move house
- Professional finish — transforms a bare concrete slab into a showroom-quality floor
Pro tip
Think of them like puzzle pieces for your garage floor. Each tile clicks into the next, forming a solid, flat surface that looks and feels like a professional installation.
Types of Tile Profiles
All our tiles use the same interlocking system — the difference is the surface pattern. Choose between vented profiles for drainage or solid profiles for a seamless look.
- Vented tiles (ULTRAGRID, ULTRAFLUX) — open surface lets air, water and debris drain through
- Solid tiles (ULTRATUFF, ULTRACORE, ULTRATONE) — sealed surface that’s easy to sweep and mop
- All tiles rated to 20t/m² — designed for car traffic, toolboxes, and heavy workshop equipment
Pro tip
Vented tiles are ideal for garages where water or rain enters through the door. Solid tiles suit clean, dry spaces like home gyms or showrooms.
Key Terms Explained
A quick glossary of the terms you’ll see across our guides and product pages.
- Load rating (20t/m²) — the weight each square metre can support. All our tiles handle cars, SUVs, and workshop equipment.
- Expansion gap — a small gap left around the room edges to allow tiles to expand and contract with temperature changes
- Ramp trims — tapered edge pieces that create a smooth transition between your tiles and the garage entrance
- Interlocking lugs — the raised tabs and slots on each tile edge that click together to form a solid floor
Tiles vs Other Garage Floors
How interlocking tiles compare to the most common garage flooring alternatives.
- Epoxy coating — permanent, requires professional application, can peel or yellow over time. Tiles are removable and DIY.
- Garage paint — cheapest option but chips easily, especially under car tyres and workshop use
- Rubber mats — affordable but shift under load, trap moisture underneath, and stain from tyres
- Bare concrete — functional but stains permanently, dusts, and feels cold and uninviting
Pro tip
Interlocking tiles are the only garage floor option that’s fully DIY, removable, and backed by a 15-year warranty.
Common Questions
