If you&#;re looking for new floor tiles, your choice depends on the type of room you&#;re filling and what you plan to do with the floor. If you want interlocking floor tiles, your material choice depends on whether you want the tiles outside or inside and what the particular room will be used for. The following are the most common interlocking tiles.

Carpet Tiles

Carpet tiles can be used anywhere. One common place to use carpet tile is on the patio near the outdoor pool. If you use tile floors near a pool, you run the risk of people slipping when they exit the pool. However, when you use carpet, you have a slip-free option. You may want to insert them higher than the ground not to have to worry about mold or mildew. Some homeowners also choose PVC pool tiles next to the pool. Interlocking floor tiles made from PVC tend to be slip-resistant and durable in high-traffic areas.

Vinyl Tiles

Vinyl interlocking tiles are easy to size and you can shape them how you need them for your floor. If you want outdoor tiles, vinyl may also be a great choice because it is moisture-resistant and slip-resistant. Vinyl tiles are also portable tiles. You can size them down and bring them with you when you go camping or when you travel. For example, if you have to use a public shower, you can place your tiles down.

Foam Tiles

If you have children, you may want to use foam tiles. Foam tiles are easy to clean up and safe for children to play on. You can use foam tiles in playrooms, basements, schools and more. In addition to being durable, foam floor tiles are also comfortable to sit and stand on. If you have to stand for long hours, doing so on foam tiles is more comfortable.

Interlocking Floor Tile Questions

What are interlocking floor tiles?

Interlocking floor tiles are tiles that interlock together to form a floating floor. Most types of interlocking floor tiles are not glued down. They are essentially interlocked together with some type of interlocking floor system over a flat surface. They are held down by gravity and their own weight. Properly designed interlocking tiles will not come apart during normal usage. Below, please find the top three types of interlocking tiles.

High Impact Polymer &#; Interlocking Floor Tiles:

ModuTile specializes in this type of interlocking floor tiles made out of high-impact polymer (impact plastic tiles). They have a wide range of usage including, but not limited to, garage flooring, basement flooring, home gym flooring, patio flooring, trade show flooring, showroom flooring and much more. The high-impact polymer interlocking tiles are considered rigid and strong enough to support large amounts of weight from vehicles, furniture or walking traffic.

Rubber Interlocking Floor Tiles:

Other common interlocking floor tiles are made out of flexible PVC (aka rubber floor tiles) and are normally used in environments where they need to support rollover weights exceeding 40,000 lbs. per sq. inch. One good example where the rubber interlocking floor tiles are used is in a warehouse where a forklift is used. Another would be on a gym floor where free weights are commonly dropped on the ground. These tiles are harder to clean, so they are not as common in garage floor environments. They also tend to be more expensive because they are heavier and more difficult to produce.

Foam Interlocking Floor Tiles:

These types of tile are usually made from EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam. They are usually used as a gym mat because they are soft to land on. Gymnasts and wrestlers often use these types of tiles to prevent injury. They are not as durable for normal walking traffic where shoes are used.
