Thirty-six full-foot tiles make a square exactly six feet on a side, which is the size of a single garage bay under a car, a small balcony or the business end of a workshop. Rigid polypropylene is what makes that useful: it carries a point load without deforming, so a bike stand, a workbench leg or a jack can sit on it. The 17 mm pegs lift the whole floor two thirds of an inch, and everything that lands on it finds its way underneath.

How it lives in the room

Lay the six-by-six square dry first

Thirty-six tiles go down in about twenty minutes, and the twenty minutes before that are the ones that matter. Set the whole six-foot square out loose, stand back, and check that the edge visible from the door is the straight one. Clipped tiles come apart again without damage, but unpicking a laid field to shift it four inches is the job nobody plans for.

Hide the transition or finish it

A raised floor stops dead at a two-thirds-inch step, and a six-foot square has a lot of edge. Against a wall on two or three sides it is invisible. Where it meets open concrete it becomes something to catch a toe or a wheelbarrow wheel, and the matching edge kit for 12-inch tiles exists for exactly that. Decide which edges are open before the field goes down.

Then drive onto it slowly

Rigid tiles take vehicle weight spread across a tread, but the first pass is what reveals a badly seated tab. Roll on at walking pace with the wheel crossing joints rather than following them, then look along the field for a tile lifted at one corner. Reseat it with a heel and the floor stops moving thereafter, which is the whole break-in procedure.

Before you order

Thirty-six square feet is not a parking bay. A car needs several times this much floor to be fully covered, so one pack handles the wet or the working half and stops there. Count the rows against the real footprint before ordering.
