What it is
Each tile has dovetail edges that lock into its neighbours. The tiles are heavy enough to stay put under their own weight, so there's no adhesive to spread and nothing to wait for. Where a floor is sound and reasonably flat, they can go straight over it.
Why businesses choose it
- Back in use sooner: no glue and no curing time
- Often laid over the floor you already have
- A damaged tile can be lifted and replaced on its own
- Quieter than ceramic tile: Gerflor quotes 8 dB less rolling noise
- Colours that can mark out walkways, work zones and safety areas
We've laid it in a home gym too, replacing concrete tiles.

For wet and hygiene areas, Gerflor makes a straight-edged version that can be heat-welded. Ask us about it.
