• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Hi

I'm looking at putting some PVC interlocking floor tiles down in the new garage ( budget permitting) as it will be used for sports and I want something hard wearing. Anyone used PVC interlocking floor tiles before? they are going on P5 t&g chipboard flooring.

They seems bloody expensive :-(
 
Could you link to the sort of thing you have in mind. I have no idea what a PVC interlocking tile is.
 
I'm not sure what the advantage is of doing it in tiles. Why not just buy a sheet of the stuff and cut it to size?
 
Yeah I suppose with sheets you would have a joining line. The tiles lock together nicely.

Suppose a vinyl flooring would work, just not as hard wearing.
 
I've specified acres of the stuff in high-wear situations such as hospital entrances. I'd be amazed if you couldn't find the same thickness and grade of PVC in sheets as you can in tiles, and in widths up to 5 metres. Is your building wider than that?

We used a lot of that sort of stuff on the floors where I used to work. It was fitted with hot welded joins and in wet areas, it was continued up the walls for a few inches with welded mitre joins.
Would have been ideal for sports as it had a grippy surface even when wet near entrance door etc with minute sparkly bits presumably some sort of abrasive.
It did not seem to mark from furniture feet etc. Would be great in a workshop.
