Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary materials on hand:
-
Meter
-
Cutter
-
Heat gun (if necessary)
-
Glue or tape (if necessary)

Fortelock PVC tiles

Step 2: Measure and calculate
Measure the surface area of your garage accurately and calculate the number of tiles needed based on the type chosen. Don't forget to take into account losses when cutting.
Step 3: Surface Preparation
Make sure the garage surface is flat, hard and clean. Remove any major irregularities with putty and clean the surface to remove any dirt and dust. If necessary, you can use a self-leveling compound to achieve a perfectly flat surface.
Step 4: Choosing the design
Let your imagination run wild and choose the design of your garage floor. You can create a space according to your needs and tastes, combining different colors and dividing the space into separate sections.
Step 5: Installing the tiles
Follow the installation instructions provided in the Fortelock technical data sheet carefully. Start by installing the tiles starting from the entrance towards the inside of the garage. Make sure to respect the expansion joints around the tiles. For cutting, use a cutter or saw.
Step 6: Finishing
Once all the tiles are installed, finish the project by adding the baseboards, railings and corners. Be sure to fit the joints properly and remove any excess glue or tape. Finally, clean the floor with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
Tips for a successful installation:
-
Read the installation instructions carefully before you begin.
