Load and comparison tests
of PVC tiles

Focus on robustness and durability

In this test, PVC tiles from Fortelock and a cheaper China product were tested under different loads.

We have tested two different PVC tiles here. The first is a cheaper version from China, and the second is from Fortelock.

The PVC tiles from Fortelock are very flexible and can withstand a fall from glass bottles and other containers without damage.

They have a shock absorbing effect and prevent the glass bottle from breaking immediately.

There is a clear difference in the floor adhesion. The first tile moves a lot when hit, while the second tile of Fortelock has a better grip on the ground and moves only minimally. This is because Fortelock's tiles have small crosses on the backside that allow for better traction.

The PVC tiles we tested are brand new so it is easier to see scratches and damage. It is not possible to break the tile of Fortelock, even with heavy and sharp objects.

For this reason, we threw an eight-kilogram vice on it to show how the tiles behave under such loads. You can clearly see that a dent has been made in the tile.

The China tile breaks after just a few blows with the hammer.

Overall, we tested PVC tiles from Fortelock and a cheaper China variant under various loads. The tiles from Fortelock proved to be more flexible, more resistant and offer better floor grip.


In this test, Fortelock industrial tiles with a thickness of 7 mm and Ultra tiles 10 mm are alternately driven over by ants and forklifts.


In a load test, the tile was driven over with snow chains and a weight of 15 tons

 

The heavy-duty tile click for industrial flooring, is a 15 millimeter thick PVC click tile.

 

For this test, it was laid on a checker plate.




Fortelock PVC tiles endurance test Driving with a tank

In the hardness test, the PVC tiles from Fortelock were tested for their resistance to extreme loads. The Fortelock Industrial PVC Tile Extra Hard was even driven over with a tank.

The tiles have proven to be extremely tough and durable, and are specifically designed for use in industrial and commercial spaces.

They are perfect for high traffic areas such as workshops, factory floors or warehouses. At the same time, they are moisture resistant and easy to clean.

The tiles are also very flexible and can be easily cut to size. They are available in a variety of colors and provide a large area for installation with a size of 500 x 500mm.

With a Shore hardness of 99A, they offer a higher resistance to loads, making them particularly resistant to scratches, abrasions and other damages.



In this test, the floor covering was tested for its load-bearing capacity with a forklift truck.

 

The Fortelock PVC tiles were laid on the concrete without gluing.

As you can see, the tiles withstand the worst loads even under these conditions. The forklift truck could not harm the tiles.

This underlines the high resilience and robustness of the Fortelock PVC tiles. They are ideal for use in industrial and commercial premises, especially for areas with high loads such as workshops, factory halls or warehouses.

Their shock-absorbing properties make them not only durable, but also gentle on floors.

The tiles are easy to install and can be easily replaced if necessary.



The test page deals with load and comparison tests of PVC tiles, especially Fortelock. Different loads, such as with forklifts or a tank, were applied to the tiles and their robustness and durability were tested. A comparison was also made between Fortelock and a Chinese product. Other aspects of the tests were the floor adhesion, flexibility of the tiles. Overall, it was shown that Fortelock PVC tiles have a high load-bearing capacity, making them ideal for use in industrial and commercial premises. Further tests will follow
