  2. It is your responsibility to check and confirm that all measurements, dimensions and quantities are correct.
  3. All orders will be fulfilled from a single production batch. In the event that you order more tiles at a later date, we cannot guarantee the colour consistency between batches.
  4. The GFTC cannot be held responsible for problematic installations if they do not comply with our instructions and the following advice regarding usage and application has not been followed;
  • ALLOW THE TILES TO ACCLIMATISE PRIOR TO INSTALLATION - The tiles must be left in the installation area to acclimatise for a minimum of 24 hours before installation commences. You can see the full installation guidelines here.
  • LOOSE LAY OR GLUE? Our floor tiles can be installed over any hard surface and in most situations will not require gluing. We recommend gluing the tiles in the following situations:
  • DIRECT SUNLIGHT (south facing garage doors, windows, sky lights etc.) It is advisable to glue the tiles in areas subject to direct sunlight. It is possible that the tiles in direct sunlight will get very hot and expand at a faster and higher rate than the remainder of the floor.
  • HEAVY TRUCKS AND/OR TIGHT TURNING CIRCLES - we strongly advise you to test the tiles with the trucks before making a decision and contact us for advice
  • EXTERNAL HEAT SOURCES / CATALYTIC CONVERTERS: catalytic converters can make the floor extremely hot and may cause the tiles to expand. To avoid this problem, glue the tiles in the area where the catalytic converter will sit when the car is parked
  • STAINING, DISCOLOURING & EASE OF CLEANING, STAINING FROM RUBBER TYRES etc. Rubber when in contact with any surface can leave a stain which is caused by vulcanisation. The stain is brown in colour. Garage Floor Tile Company recommends that if your application is susceptible to staining from rubber contact (car tyres etc.) that you use our black or graphite colour tiles and / or apply our anti-colour /anti-stain polyurethane sealer. Please contact us for further information.
  • CHEMICAL, OIL & FUEL SPILLS / LEAKS – Our tiles offer good resistance to most commonly used oils and chemicals however extended exposure should be avoided. In the event of a spill or leak (especially if the liquid has been allowed to penetrate under the tiles) for health, safety & environmental good practice we recommend that the affected tiles are lifted, the spill or leak cleaned up and rinsed with fresh water (both the sub- floor and the tiles) and the tiles then reinstalled.
  • STATIC SHOCKS – The Garage Floor Tile Company product range will not generate static, if you encounter issues with static post installation it will not be because of the flooring but will relate to a variety of reasons, primarily the change in the environment especially if you had concrete or wooden floors prior to your new installation. We recommend you wash the floor with clean fresh water to eliminate the issue. In areas or times of low humidity (for example in the cold winter months) it may also be advisable to use a floor cleaner with anti-static properties. Please refer to https://www.garagefloortilecompany.com/ for further information.
  • UV STABILITY – Garage Floor Tile Company tiles are not recommended for external use and the colours are not UV stable. If you require flooring for external use, please contact us for details of our Lifestyle Range.
  • SURFACE FINISH / PATINA / WITNESS MARKS – The method of manufacture may result in a witness mark being visible in the tile at the central injection moulding point and along the flow lines from the centre and around the external edge of the tile, the mark cannot be avoided. Please check the tiles, if the marking is unacceptable do not continue with installation as we will not accept responsibility to replace or refund the cost of any goods after 5m² or more have been installed if the markings are subsequently deemed unacceptable.
