Interlocking tiles — FAQs
How are interlocking tiles installed?
Tiles connect via molded edges and typically require no adhesive. Installation follows a planned layout with edging where needed.
Can interlocking tiles be reconfigured later?
Yes. Tiles can be lifted and rearranged, making it easy to expand or update layouts as equipment changes.
Do interlocking tiles need edging?
Edging is recommended at exposed perimeters to reduce trip hazards and support wheeled traffic transitions.
