Fortelock Tiles: The Ideal Floor for Your Garage
You have surely wondered at some point which floor to choose for your garage. It is an important decision, because the right choice can fundamentally affect not only the practicality and functionality of the space, but also its aesthetic appeal. In this respect, we would like to introduce you to one of the best options on the market – Fortelock PVC flooring.
Fortelock is a high-quality, proven brand of PVC flooring that boasts a long service life, resistance to mechanical stress and easy maintenance. These tiles are the ideal choice for garages, workshops or storage areas – simply anywhere a strong, durable floor is needed.
Simple installation without gluing
One of the main reasons to choose Fortelock PVC flooring for your garage is its simple installation. The tiles are designed to slot easily into one another using an interlocking system, which allows the floor to be laid quickly and effortlessly without the need for glue or any other materials. This system also makes it easy to replace damaged tiles without having to take up the entire floor. Even a novice can handle the installation with ease.
Always install the tiles on a level, hard surface, and before laying them, let the tiles acclimatise thoroughly for at least 48 hours. Do not forget to keep the recommended 10 mm expansion gap from any fixed point! (shelving unit, wall)
High mechanical and chemical resistance
Another advantage of Fortelock PVC flooring is its resistance to moisture and industrial chemicals. So if you work with oils, greases or other chemical substances in your garage, you do not have to worry about damaging the floor. The flooring also withstands the load of heavy vehicles or machinery, which is especially important in a garage environment. Its compressive strength is 520 kg/cm2! Fortelock PVC flooring is highly resistant to mechanical damage such as impacts, falling heavy objects and other external influences. Moreover, the tiles are made from a high-quality material with high strength and durability.
Easy maintenance and the option of disassembly
When it comes to maintenance, Fortelock PVC flooring is very easy to maintain. Simply sweep or vacuum it regularly and occasionally wash the floor with a cloth or mop using water and detergent. This keeps the floor clean and safe for your everyday activities. If you need to disassemble the floor or replace some of the tiles, that is no problem thanks to the interlocking system.
A choice of colours
Aesthetically, Fortelock PVC flooring is also a match for the other options on the market. It offers a wide range of colours and patterns that everyone can adapt to their taste and the style of the space. In addition, the surface finish of the flooring has anti-slip properties that increase safety when walking or manoeuvring vehicles.
Insulating function for more comfortable work
Fortelock PVC flooring provides an insulating layer between the subfloor and the surface, which makes working on the floor more pleasant at lower temperatures.
Ramps for easier entry into the garage
Fortelock also offers ramps that make it easier to drive into the garage. Our tip: it is advisable to glue the ramps down together with the first row of tiles for better stability.
Easy purchase and delivery
Use the online configurator to design your floor easily and get a clear calculation of the final price. We will deliver the tiles on a pallet right to your garage, so you do not have to worry about transporting them.
Cleaning and maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance is very important for all Fortelock floor coverings, both in terms of appearance and hygiene and to extend their service life. You can clean a Fortelock floor simply by wiping it with water and an ordinary detergent. For cleaning and maintaining floor coverings, we recommend using products from the Dr. Schutz brand. They draw on many years of experience and reflect current trends in the field of cleaning. The cost of cleaning, or rather the cleaning intervals, depends on the frequency of use and the degree of soiling.
