Tayto Group Warehouse Floor Tile Project – Case Study

When it comes to iconic snack brands, Tayto Group is a name that stands out. From its home in Tayto Castle, nestled in the picturesque County Armagh in Northern Ireland, the company boosts a portfolio of beloved brands – notably Tayto, Northern Ireland’s number one crisp brand.

In the spirit of maintaining excellence in their facilities, Tayto Group recently embarked on a warehouse flooring project in collaboration with Flexi-Tile, and the results are impressive.

The Challenge:

Tayto Group’s warehouse needed a flooring upgrade, for a flavour store overflow area. The challenge was clear: they required a heavy-duty flooring solution capable of withstanding the daily rigours of forklifts carrying heavy pallets. Their existing floor, an old painted concrete surface, needed a floor solution suitable for warehouses that was practical, durable and long lasting.

The Solution: Flexi-Tile Industrial Floor Tiles

Flexi-Tile, is renowned for its industrial-grade PVC floor tiles, was the perfect partner for Tayto Group’s warehouse floor project. Flexi-Tile warehouse flooring is a ‘loose-laid’ interlocking tile system built for heavy-duty use. Here are some of the key features and benefits of Flexi-Tile’s flooring tiles:

Features and benefits

• 10-Year Guarantee: Tayto Group could count on long-lasting durability.
• Ease of Cleaning: Quick and hassle-free maintenance was assured.
• Minimal Floor Preparation: The project could proceed with minimal disruption to Tayto’s warehouse.
• No Need for Adhesives: In most cases, adhesives were unnecessary, simplifying the installation process.
• Impact Resistance: Tayto’s heavy machinery would pose no threat to the new flooring.
• Variety of Colors and Finishes: Tayto had options to match their aesthetic preferences.
• R10 Anti-Slip Certification: Safety was a top priority.
• Stain Resistance: Spills and stains were easily managed.
• Fire Performance: The flooring met stringent fire safety standards.
• Sound and Heat Insulation: The flooring contributed to a comfortable and efficient workspace.

With guidance from Flexi-Tile’s flooring expert, Bartek, Tayto Group chose the Flexi-Tile 10mm Heavy Duty option in textured dark grey, a popular choice known for its ability to handle workloads exceeding 1000kg while remaining loose-laid.

Flexi-Tile’s 10mm Heavy Duty floor tiles not only provided a durable alternative to continuously painting the warehouse floor but also created an aesthetically pleasing and easy-to-maintain space. Flexi-Tile warehouse flooring tiles is particularly suitable for an environment subjected to heavy-duty traffic.
