Workshop floor - are PVC puzzles suitable?
Grease, oil, heavy tools - this is the everyday life of car repair shops and those that replace tires. The standard surface in such spaces is simply concrete. But usually out of habit. Choosing a floor for your workshop can increase the comfort of work and at the same time protect the concrete surface against damage. The biggest doubts may arise regarding resistance to lubricants and chemicals, but this is also not a problem.
What are PVC Puzzles?
Puzzles or PVC tiles for the garage or workshop are a system of elements produced using energy-saving injection presses, from materials that ensure:
strength and wear resistance,
resistance to chemicals,
long service life.
The "Puzzle" tile system can be used on various types of surfaces, without the need to prepare them in advance. Arranging a puzzle floor does not require the use of glue, and connecting them is extremely simple. Each element is connected to the one next to it. Therefore, changing the floor or adding additional elements is possible at any time, which makes this an extremely practical solution. Moreover, the only tools you will need to perform this operation are a rubber hammer and a pruning knife.
What properties do PVC puzzles have?
The method of production and the materials used influence the resistance and durability of the carpet made of PVC Puzzles. Both are worth mentioning:
resistance to chemicals,
high wear resistance,
durability under high point or dynamic load conditions,
the possibility of recycling and re-embossing the boards,
with proper maintenance, the puzzle surface will last a long time - its service life has been estimated at 25 years.
Why is it worth laying a PVC Puzzle floor in the workshop?
There are at least several reasons. Worth mentioning:
easy arranging the puzzle regardless of the surface makes this an extremely universal solution,
durability - includes resistance to chemicals and the possibility of using PVC puzzles on surfaces with both medium and high point intensity or dynamic load - depending on the thickness of the material used,
the wear warranty is 12 years, and the expected service life is 25 years provided that it is properly maintained,
Air-Flow, a unique system of drainage channels thanks to which the puzzle floor "breathes" and removes moisture, which prevents the substrate from getting wet and mold forming,
a floor made of 7 mm thick puzzle pieces allows the surface to be resistant to heavy and frequent loads, chemicals and impacts.
How to choose a floor for a workshop?
If we want to lay a PVC Puzzle floor in a workshop, what matters most to the user is durability and resistance to both chemicals and mechanical damage. Depending on the needs and loads occurring in a given place, it is enough to select the appropriate thickness of the puzzle so that it fully fulfills its tasks.
“Puzzle” tiles intended for medium loads are ribbed on one side and intended for rooms with medium point or dynamic loads. They are used in places where there is no heavy manipulation technique. This type of floor will work well, among others: in:
garages,
car workshops,
basements,
warehouses and places with light production,
stores,
car services.
Most often, Puzzle PVC tiles designed for medium loads will work well as a workshop floor. However, the highest-load puzzles available on the market will work well in spaces where heavy manipulation techniques are used, such as forklifts or electric pallet trucks.
Summary
The determinant of choosing the right floor made of PVC Puzzles is their thickness. Quick assembly, lack of specialized tools reduces possible additional costs. Thanks to their properties and resistance, puzzles are a solution that will last for years. This is not just an empty promise, because the warranty on the wear of "Puzzle" discs covers up to 12 years. It is also worth adding that the service life of this solution is 25 years provided it is properly maintained.
