Be Tough! Your Industrial Flooring Tile Can Take It

I’ve always been kind of a heavy-duty guy. I wear boots, not sandals. I drive a truck, not a convertible. And I have a pit bull, not a poodle. So when I was redoing the floor of my garage, I decided to go with extra sturdy interlocking floor tiles.

I knew I’d found the flooring for me when I learned that the interlocking garage floor tiles from www.LockTileUSA.com are the same material used in professional environments, like airplane hangars and car repair shops. If they could stand up to the pressure and spills of the working world, I knew lock-tile floors could handle my roughhousing. I’ve already been pretty tough, but I’ve yet to encounter a single dent, scuff mark, or stain.

Still, it’s not like ordering industrial flooring tile was overkill for a homeowner such as myself – www.LockTileUSA.com caters to plenty of private individuals looking to update and strengthen their garage floors.

Besides, when you’re able to install your floor yourself, you know you’re standing on workmanship that you can trust, and that you didn’t overpay for bogus service charges.

With Interlocking Floor Tiles, Please Your Eye Before You Buy

For me, seeing is believing – which is why it took me so long to revamp my garage. I wanted to see the finish on my new cabinets before I replaced the old ones; I wanted to know what color my wall paint would dry as before I rolled it on; and I wanted to explore all the different patterns for my interlocking floor tiles before I installed them.

Luckily, www.LockTileUSA.com had my back, at least when it came to the industrial flooring tile I wanted to put in my garage. The website has a fun and easy to use tool that allows you to design a virtual floor. You can pick one or two colors – for a checkerboard design – and even customize the color of your virtual car to see how everything will look together.

Getting to play around with different color combinations really helped me get a grasp on my redesign plans, and before I knew it I was installing my own interlocking garage floor tiles in a beautiful pattern of green and black – they look wonderful with my baby blue car!

Interlocking Garage Floor Tiles Help "Clean Up" Easier!

If you have owned your home for a few years now and you have a garage that you use quite often, you may have started noticing things like blemishes, cracks, oil stains, etc. My dad has a garage and back in the day he would always work on his dirt bikes and motorcycles in the garage. A lot of wear and tear going on. Then, within the last year or so he decided to build an extra garage JUST for that stuff so he needed to fix the old garage. The estimate he got to get it re-paved with concrete and painted was over $15,000! Whoa!

I'm sorry, but that is just outrageous! After doing a little research though, he found these interlocking garage floor tiles. All he had to do was clean up the old concrete and lay these new interlocking floor tiles down. He even make a cool little design in the middle - a sunburst! These flooring options cost him thousands of dollars less, the floor looks and feels brand new, and now he doesn't have to stress out about the money situation.

Design A Custom Floor Instantly!

A few weeks back I actually ordered a custom logo carpet for my business, it's really great for foot traffic and it's also really professional! Once I got it, I started to think about how else I could really make my new place shine. One of the things I found online were these interlocking floor tiles. I thought I heard of something like this before, but decided to take a little looking around just the same.

These interlocking floor tiles are used for all kinds of situations such as keeping "divots" out of carpeted floors, protecting or covering up garage floors, protecting floors with industrial flooring tile that may be in contact with things like hazardous materials, building patios, and everything and anything else you could possibly imagine.

For my business though, I saw one thing in particular that caught my eye - a multitude of coloring options that can be customized to make a floor more "personal". My business colors are green, grey, black and white, so I could in turn buy those colors of tiles and ultimately build a floor pattern with my own brandable colors! Pretty cool if you ask me! Anyone can install interlocking floor tiles, which is probably why they are so darn popular, they are also really cost efficient. You could easily save a few hundred to a few thousand dollars by utilizing something like this instead of building a brand new floor or surface!

Not only was it going to be a lot of work, but a lot of money as well! I started looking for alternatives. Some of these alternatives seemed really cheesy. It's my house, my backyard, I have friends over all the time, the last thing I wanted was a cheesy patio! Then, I found something called interlocking floor tiles.

They come in all kinds of colors and shapes. These are very easy to install, very cheap and incredibly functional. You can buy interlocking floor tiles for your exercise room or office, or anything else you can think of! These tiles are also VERY strong and you can count on them for years to come!

Do You Have A Less Than Stellar Garage Floor?

Garages for the most part are meant to get dirty. For years my dad used to work on his motorcycles and cars in our garage. Unfortunately this also makes the garage floor sticky, greasy, and an overall mess. If you want to renovate your garage you’ll soon find out that to install a new floor, cement it, paint it and seal it, takes a few grand. Are you going to spend that much money? Heck no! Instead, what you should try is something called interlocking floor tiles.

Essentialy, these are tiles that you can place on your floor, which all will interconnect. This makes it so they can't jig or jag or move out of place. It's also going to make your garage floor look brand new, without spending thousands of dollars on it! Now, you can just scrub it clean as can be, place these interlocking garage floor tiles and be done with it! This is also meant for industrial floor tiling, in other words it’s built to last. I had the floor in my last home, in my exercise room with over 600lbs of exercise equipment on it that I used every single day. Magic!

The tiles always stay in position, they never fall apart, and they will literally last you for years on end until YOU decide to pull them up! It's amazingly simple, fairly cheap, and it's going to make your life a whole lot easier!

What are Interlocking Floor Tiles and how can I use them?

So here's the deal, you just bought a new exercise machine for your house, and it weighs a ton! You really want to place it in your exercise room, but you also know that heavy objects that lie on a floor too long, can also leave "marks" that never disappear. So what are you supposed to do? Put it in the garage on the cement floor? No! This is where interlocking industrial flooring comes into play.

Nowadays they have all kinds of colors, materials and uses. One of the most recent options I have seen are the "checkerboard" styles - black, white, black, white, etc. But you can use any 2, 3, 4 or more colors that you want to! It’s pretty neat. It really depends on you and what you want to use it for.

Not only are these used to protect your flooring or for style reasons, but they can also be used to "cover" a floor that is less than outstanding! They are super easy to use, just overlap the parts, tap it with a hammer or rubber mallet, and there ya go. You now have interlocking floor tiles!

Green Construction with Eco-Friendly Paint

Where do you have more polluted air? Indoors or outdoors? Well, you might be surprised but in fact, indoor air is three times more polluted than outdoor air. Can you believe that? The main reason for all this is the use of toxic paints that release dangerous toxins into the air, for years and years after the actual paint job.

Switching from conventional paint to natural, eco friendly paint can help the earth and prevent you from breathing dangerous, cancer causing chemicals and other omissions, while minimizing the possibility of asthma and allergic reactions.

There are many types of eco-friendly paints like Clay paint, Milk paint and Lime wash, which are all 100% natural, safe and they will last for years to come. Another great thing about eco-paints is the fact that these products are usually water based which means no problem washing or cleaning-up after application and they're all completely odorless.

Going green is the leading trend in today’s construction and Lock-Tile is a leader in eco-friendly floor tiles, which are 100% recyclable. For more information about green construction and eco-friendly remodeling, visit www.Lokctileusa.com.

Live Green with Solar Roof and Recycled Floor Tiles

Going Green is a leading trend in constructions today. There are many ways to use natural resources that do not harm the environment, minimize production and overall waste.

One of the leading eco-friendly trends you can see in construction are solar roof tiles which look just like regular tiles but in the same time generate electricity. Covering your roof with solar tiles can produce substantial amount of power and even generate enough electricity for an entire building. This is a great advantage which involves no extra planning of any sort and is conventionally installed like any other tiles.

When you finish building your solar roof you can move on and keep the ecological line using Lock-Tiles. Our interlocking tiles are environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable. Every year, thousands of tons of waste PVC are redirected from landfill and incineration and converted into recycled Lock-Tiles.
