In a floor, resistance is one of the most important characteristics.

Design and price are also important, but the hardness of the product is undoubtedly more important.

Resistant to frost, high traffic, shocks, friction.

Look

There are people who come to the store with tiles broken. Tiles that are part of the garage and that have ended up breaking due to the weight of the car.

This is the reason why it happens.

In the old days the size of the tiles was small, and the way to lay a pavement, different from now. The size of the pieces has grown very fast, and this may have caught some professionals off guard.

The fact is that the way to lay the tiles a few decades ago was using cement "in lumps". This saved a lot of time on placement, and was often enough. Those 4 or 5 sticks that were placed covered most of the surface and protected the tile.

Although this way of laying the floor has always had risks, these have increased with the increase in the size of the tiles. tiles.

Well, the more surface there is, the more likely it is that the weight of the car will break the pieces.

Cement glue is used to glue, but also to protect. That is why it is ESSENTIAL that the back of the tile is completely covered with a suitable adhesive mortar.

No matter how resistant the floor is, if the installation is not good, no material will be a guarantee of sufficient hardness.

Well, lie... For a few years there have been 20mm porcelain tiles, which can be installed without gluing, thanks to their extraordinary thickness. However, these models are usually used for landscaping and not for paving large surfaces.

Following the recommended installation instructions, any porcelain floor will be advisable to place in the garage.

Another recommendation

Do not buy a non-slip floor for the garage. The dirt from the tires would remain very attached to the floor and it will be difficult to keep it clean.

That is why, in addition to the hardness, it is important to take into account the cleaning and maintenance of the floor.
