What makes them so strong?
They are made from a plastic called Polypropylene. You find this material used in the automotive industry for items such as car bumpers and alot of under bonnet compents. Quality, long-lasting, floors result from a combination of flawless manufacture and the best materials. Our manufacturing process assures our floors have no flaws or weak points, which inevitably cause cracking and breaking later on. Our single flow injection molding system ensures material flows consistently throughout the mold from a single point, leaving no break or flow points. This process is expensive, but the results are invaluable.?

How do the tiles join together?
On each tile, two sides have 7 male connectors on each side and the other two sides have female connectors. This enables the tiles to interconnect with each other, forming a tight join on all 4 sides. When engaged, the locks actually become part of the flooring structure, strengthening the floor. What’s more, this method of joining, lets the floor expand and contract naturally in garages with big temperature variations.?
