Solid 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 workshop floor you click together. The NovFort Solid tile is a 15.75 × 15.75 in (15.75 × 15.75 in) interlocking polypropylene floor tile with a tough, closed checker-plate top. Nothing drains through it: oil, water and spills stay on the surface, where you can see them and mop them up or squeegee them to the door. Seven colours, one price, laid in a weekend without glue, screed or curing days.

The clean workshop look, in your garage

A black lane, red stripes, a light grey and black checker down the middle: the raised tread reads as checker plate from every angle. Solid tiles are at their best in borders and parking bays, and they make a pattern a two- or three-colour job. Lay the field in Black or Dark Grey, then draw the border, the bay 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 features, one tile

Raised tread surface. Fine moulded bars, set in groups that lean one way and then the other like steel checker plate, give the top its texture and its workshop look.

Closed solid top. The top is one continuous surface with no drainage slots. Oil, coolant, water and dropped screws stay on the tile instead of falling to the slab, so a spill is wiped, mopped or squeegeed to the door. It also means the floor does not drain: if you wash the car inside or park it dripping wet, the water stays on top until you move it. For a floor that lets water fall through, choose the Ribbed or the 3D tile.

Interlocking edges. Tabs on two edges press into the sockets of the next tile. Align them, press, and the tiles lock together without tools.

15.75 × 15.75 in, 0.7 in, 7 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 tread bar and every tab, so a cut edge looks like a moulded edge. Choose from Dark Grey, Black, Red, Light Grey, Dark Blue, Yellow and Grass Green. Every colour is the same price, and all 7 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 is built for workshop traffic, 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.
