Our latest blog outlines the many other reasons that Flexi-Tile is considered one of the leading interlocking PVC tiles suppliers – read on to discover the full range of benefits that customers enjoy when they choose Flexi-Tile!

High-Quality Material Composition

Flexi Tile PVC tiles are made from premium-grade recycled PVC which offers superior strength, flexibility, and longevity. Cheaper PVC tiles often use lower-grade materials, which can make them less durable and more prone to wear and tear.

Colour Consistency:

Flexi Tile products are made from homogeneous PVC, meaning the colour and pattern are generally consistent throughout the entire thickness of the tile. This makes scratches or damage less noticeable compared to cheaper tiles, which may only have a surface layer of colour or pattern.

Durability

  • Wear Resistance: Flexi Tile tiles are designed to be highly resistant to wear and tear, including scratches, impacts, and abrasions. This makes them ideal for high-traffic areas where cheaper tiles may degrade quickly.
  • Chemical and Stain Resistance: Flexi-Tile PVC tiles generally have better resistance to chemicals, oils, and other substances that could stain or damage cheaper PVC tiles.
  • Longevity: The combination of high-quality materials and durability ensures that Flexi Tile tiles have a longer lifespan, making them a more cost-effective solution over time.

Design and Aesthetic Quality

  • Precision Manufacturing: Flexi Tile tiles are manufactured to high standards, ensuring consistent size, shape, and colour. This precision helps in creating a seamless look, whereas cheaper tiles may have inconsistencies that affect the overall appearance.
  • Variety of Designs: Flexi Tile often offers a wider range of designs, colours, and textures, providing more options for customization and allowing for a more tailored aesthetic.

Ease of Installation

  • Interlocking System: Flexi Tile tiles often feature an advanced interlocking system that makes installation easier and more secure. This system ensures a tight fit between tiles, reducing the likelihood of gaps or movement after installation.
  • DIY Friendly: Due to their design, Flexi Tile tiles are often easier to install by non-professionals, reducing labour costs associated with installation.

Comfort and Safety

  • Underfoot Comfort: The flexibility and thickness of Flexi Tile tiles often provide a more comfortable surface to walk or stand on, which can be important in areas where people spend a lot of time on their feet.
  • Anti-Slip Properties: Flexi Tile products are designed with anti-slip properties, improving safety in areas prone to spills or moisture. Cheaper PVC tiles may lack these features.

Environmental and Health Considerations

  • Recyclability: Flexi Tile products are made from recyclable materials and can also or be recycled after use, making them a more environmentally friendly option compared to cheaper, non-recyclable tiles.

Warranty and Support

  • Extended Warranties: Flexi Tile tiles often come with longer warranties, reflecting the manufacturer’s confidence in the product’s durability and performance. Cheaper PVC tiles may come with shorter or no warranties, indicating a potential lack of quality assurance.
  • Customer Support: Reputable manufacturers like Flexi Tile typically offer better customer support, including guidance on installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Applications and Versatility

  • Wide Range of Applications: Flexi Tile tiles are designed to be versatile and are suitable for a variety of applications, from residential to commercial and industrial settings. Their durability and design options make them adaptable to different environments, whereas cheaper tiles might only be suitable for light-use areas.

Conclusion

Flexi Tile tiles offer a superior combination of durability, design, and performance compared to cheaper PVC tiles. While the initial cost may be higher, their long-term benefits, such as durability, ease of installation, and low maintenance, make them a more cost-effective and reliable choice.
