The most popular size of interlocking floor tiles!!!

What is the most popular size of interlocking floor tiles?

You must be confused before buying interlocking floor tiles . What's size is good and what's thickness is popular ? The 12-inch interlocking floor tiles are the most popular. The reason being that it is easy to calculate the quantity of tiles needed when designing the layout. For example, if you have a 20 by 20 ft. garage floor, you can easily calculate how many tiles you will need. The math is easy, 20 x 20 = 400. That means that you need 400 sq. ft. (400 tiles). When trying to do that on 13.1-inch tiles or 18.4-inch tiles it is not that easy. Designing becomes much harder when you have complex floor layouts. Also, when you want to design larger squares with the 12-inch tiles, it is very easy. You can simply use 4 tiles to create a 2 by 2 ft. sq. area. In other words, there are no drawbacks for choosing the 12-inch interlocking tiles.

When it comes to the thickness, the most popular thickness is ½-inch. For garage flooring, basement flooring and other semi-permanent installations, it is beneficial to have proper airflow underneath the tiles. Tiles that are thinner will have less airflow and it would take longer to dry when used in moist environments. Also, when the tiles are less than ½-inch thick, the locking mechanism is very tricky to manufacture and by default tends to be inferior to the thicker tiles. Interlocking floor tiles thinner than ½-inch are not large enough to support a well-designed locking mechanism that allows the tiles to move when expansion and contraction occurs. Because of the lack of thickness, the tiles could potentially unlock when being used.

After reading the above, many customers ask us if tiles thicker than 1/2–inch are better. The answer is yes and no. If the manufacturer designs a poor locking mechanism you will have long term issues that can occur including unlocking under pressure and lack of movement during expansion and contraction when the weather changes. Also, you should ask yourself if the thicker version outweighs the additional cost. In our opinion, the answer is no. For example, garage flooring that is thicker than ½-inch is simply wasteful. Our tiles perform superbly the way they are designed.

Ethylene-vinyl acetate ( EVA ), also known as poly ( ethylene-vinyl acetate ) (PEVA), is the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. The weight percent vinyl acetate usually varies from 10% to 40%, with the remainder being ethylene.

EVA is an elastomeric polymer that produces materials which are "rubber-like" in softness and flexibility. This is distinct from a thermoplastic, in that the material is cross-linked, and thus difficult to recycle. The material has good clarity and gloss, low-temperature toughness, stress-crack resistance, hot-melt adhesive waterproof properties, and resistance to UV radiation. EVA has a distinctive vinegar like odor and is competitive with rubber and vinyl products in many electrical applications.

EVA Foam is a soft, yet durable polymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate commonly used in flooring, but also in sports equipment, crafts, and set design. The material is commonly used to manufacture flip-flops as it is soft without being sponge like. EVA foam is easy to work with and comes in a variety of colors and thicknesses.
