Answer: We quote MotoLock and MotoMat tile requirements based on an inside edge to outside edge measurement. The MotoVent tile requirements are based on the inside to inside edge measurement. We have found that this improves estimating accuracy. Other dimensions, which take account of 1) all tabs and 2) no tabs, are also shown below.

Yes, unless curing time for adhesive is required (eg. for securing tile ramps), the entire floor can be used immediately it is laid.

MotoLock heavy duty tiles will take spot loads, we would always suggest using an additional tile between the jack and your new floor. A more widely spread load is safer to work with too.

The tiles can be laid onto any hard, level surface including concrete and wooden floors, ceramic tiled floors, linoleum and vinyl. However, they are not suitable for fitting directly over carpet or carpet tiles.

Usually very little. This varies somewhat with the tile type but none requires a perfect underfloor. View the installation guides for the MotoLock, MotoMat and MotoVent floor tiles.

The preparation basics are to remove any ridges or high points in the floor and fill any substantial cracks or holes with a self-leveling mortar. For tile edge/ramps: When bonding tile ramps to a concrete floor observe the adhesive manufactures recommendations for surface preparation.

For tile skirting: Ensure that you can get a good flush fit to the wall and that the bottom of the wall surrounding the tiles is clear of dust and debris.

No. Generally no specialist tools are required, although a non marking rubber mallet makes light work of fixing tiles together. You can buy one from us. Many installations require only a sharp knife for cutting the tiles, a tape measure and a straight edge.

For curved or intricate shapes you can use an electric jig saw or a coping saw. The ramp and skirting products require a hand saw or electric jigsaw to achieve the best finish.

To finish the floor edges around the perimeter cut the lugs off to leave a straight edge and allow a 5mm gap for expansion, fit where required the appropriate ramp to the entrance.

There is an installation guide for the MotoLock, MotoMat and MotoVent tiles.

Tiles can be cut with the sort of hand or power tools you would normally use for cutting or shaping timber.

The image below shows a cutout made using a jigsaw.

Like a very easy jigsaw. Or imagine laying carpet tiles that snap together and which you firm down with a rubber mallet.

Here is an installation guide for the MotoLock, MotoMat and MotoVent tiles.

Ensure a 5mm working gap is left around the perimeter of the garage / room and any fixtures so that tiles to allow for expansion in warmer weather. The gap can be hidden by using our tile skirting or any other skirting and we would suggest one at least 10mm thick and you can then sit it just above the tile and thus hiding the expansion gap. We strongly advise the use of tile ramps (MotoLock Ramps) or (MotoMat Ramps) or (MotoVent Ramps) on all edges where vehicles (or anything wheeled) move on and off the floor or where there is a risk of tripping. Go to the Mototile video's to view a selection of how to install guides, picture slide shows, time lapse video's and more.

We do recommend the Floor Cleaner R1000 by Dr. Schutz. It cleans, protects and adds safety to your flooring in one step. Enhances the anti-slip properties, creating a water-soluble protective film. For more information and purchase options on this Floor Cleaner R1000 product click or go to: https://drschutz.co.uk/retail/floor-cleaner-r1000/

Alternatively you can sweep or vacuum the tiles then sponge mop them with a washing-up liquid solution: use the makers recommended hand-wash concentration level. Don't use harsh detergents, polishes or scouring powders. Never use abrasives.

The floor has a nice sheen when clean but it is designed (and tested) to be non-slip.

The interlock stops most water penetration. Any water that does get under the tile will evaporate as the tile has an air flow design on the underside that 'breathes'.

The MotoVent are designed with self draining channels allowing debris and dirt to drain through.

The tiles are resistant to most oils and acids but a tile sample should be tested if this is a critical requirement.

The MotoLock and MotoMat floor tiles are classed as difficult-to-ignite due to its chemical composition.

The MotoVent has a commercial-grade heat resistance that tolerates temperatures between -22°F to +248°F, they also boast a fire rating of HB (Horizontal Burn), ensuring enhanced safety.

The tiles can act as thermal and acoustic insulation.

MotoLock and MotoMat interlocking tiles are 100% recyclable (we sell two ranges of tiles manufactured from recycled PVC materials) and are a totally reusable product: take them with you if you move. Also, if you damage a tile or two, you can replace them and not the whole floor, thus reducing waste.

Yes. We sell all tiles, ramps and skirting individually and in packs.

For orders and deliveries outside the UK please contact us.

Tiles are manufactured from high grade PVC materials to a full specification. Our prices reflect a focus on business essentials and careful cost control.
