Ribbed garage floor tile, 15.75 × 15.75 in

The showroom floor, without the showroom margin: NovFort tiles ship straight from the factory, no importer, no warehouse, no retailer in between.

A garage floor you click together. The NovFort Ribbed tile is a 15.75 × 15.75 in (15.75 × 15.75 in) interlocking polypropylene floor tile with an open, finely ribbed surface. Water, mud and wash-down fall straight through to the slab, air moves underneath, and the floor you stand on stays dry. Thirteen colours, one price, laid in a weekend without glue, screed or curing days.

The detailing-studio look, in your garage

A dark field, a bright accent, hexagon lights overhead: this is the floor car people build. Ribbed tiles make it a two-colour job. Lay the field in Black or Dark Grey, then draw the parking bay, the border or the checker in the colour you like. The pattern is only tiles in a different order, so it costs nothing extra and can be changed later.

Tabs into sockets, no tools

Two edges of every tile carry tabs, the other two carry sockets. Line the tabs up with the sockets of the tile already down, press, and the two lock flat. The joint sits below the surface, so nothing catches a broom, a trolley wheel or a bare foot. No adhesive touches the concrete: the floor can be lifted, extended or moved to the next house.

Installed in a weekend

1. Sweep the slab. No primer, no levelling, no drying time.
2. Start in the corner you see first and work outwards, pressing each tile onto the last.
3. Trim the last row with a jigsaw or handsaw to fit walls and posts.
4. Finish every open edge with NovFort Edge Ramps and Corners in a matching colour, so cars roll on and off without a step.

A one-car garage takes an afternoon; a two-car garage is a Saturday. The surface is ready to drive on the moment the last tile clicks in.

Three layers, one tile

Raised ribbed surface. Fine, closely spaced ribs give grip under wet tires and boots and hide the dust that shows on a flat floor.

Support grid. A lattice of evenly spaced legs under the surface spreads the weight of a parked car across the whole tile, so the ribs do not flex or dish under a wheel.

Open drainage. The slots between the ribs run all the way through. Wash the car inside, bring the boat in dripping, park a wet truck after a storm: the water drops to the slab and finds the fall of the floor, and the tiles above dry in minutes. On humid coastal days and on older slabs that sweat, the open structure lets the concrete breathe instead of trapping moisture under a sealed layer.

15.75 × 15.75 in, 0.7 in, 13 colours

Each tile is 15.75 × 15.75 in (15.75 × 15.75 in) and 0.7 in (18 mm) thick, moulded in polypropylene with the colour running through the whole tile, not painted on. The polypropylene is UV-stabilised, so the colour is made to hold at a garage door that gets the sun. The colour is the same on every edge, every rib and every tab, so a cut edge looks like a moulded edge. Choose from Dark Grey, Black, Red, Light Blue, Turquoise Blue, White, Light Grey, Dark Blue, Yellow, Orange, Grass Green, Apple Green and Purple. Every colour is the same price, and all 13 lock into each other.

Built for the weight of a car

Rated for a rolling load of up to 20 tonnes (44,000 lb), the tile carries a forklift and its pallet on a workshop floor, so an SUV, a pickup, a jack stand or a two-post hoist on a home floor is well inside its limit. Polypropylene does not rust, rot or absorb oil, and a damaged tile is lifted out and replaced on its own, without touching the rest of the floor.

How many tiles?

Divide the floor area in square feet by 1.72. A 12' × 22' one-car garage (264 sq ft) needs 154 tiles; a 20' × 22' two-car garage (440 sq ft) needs 256. Add two or three per cut row for trimming, and count the open edges in feet for Edge Ramps. For a pattern, a border or a floor that is not a plain rectangle, the NovFort Designer draws the floor to scale, places every colour and writes the shopping list for you. This page suits spares, extensions and replacement tiles bought by the piece.
