How to buy the best tiles for your Factory Floor?
The floor of an industrial area such as a factory needs to be sturdy enough to withstand the load of plying vehicles like pay loader, stacker machine, heavy tools etc. Heavy-duty and abrasion-resistant tiles are an ideal choice if you are looking for a tile flooring option while setting up a factory. These tiles must remain robust, durable, and weatherproof as compared other types of regular tiles.
Tiles for your Factory – Attributes to look for!
Here are the factors to consider while choosing the tiles for your factory.
1. Strength
When tiling up your industrial area or a factory, it is essential to choose tiles that are made of the strongest material. MOH is a scale that measures the surface scratch hardness value of the tiles. It is rated on a scale of 1 to 10. The higher the value, the more hardness and sturdier is the surface. Ideally, for factory tiles, choose tiles that have MOH value greater than 6 to ensure that the tiles do not get scratched and offer a tough and rigid floor. Johnson Endura tiles are available in 20X10 and 30X30 cm sizes. Both sizes are available in Glazed (MOH=6) and UnGlazed (MOH=7) options.
2. Anti-Scratch
Due to the continuous heavy use and maintenance activities, the tiles that are not equipped with anti-scratch properties begin to lose their aesthetic beauty and durability. While the scratch-free surface of the full-body industrial tiles remains robust to sustain foot traffic as well as machine load.
3. High breaking strength and abrasion resistance
Johnson Endura tiles offer perfect tiling solutions for factories. With a high breaking strength and a thickness of 1.2cm for 2500N, 1.5 cm for 4000N, and 2 cm for 7500 N, the tiles can transfer heavy loads effectively without breaking. With a Deep Abrasion Volume Loss of less than 14.4 cm', Johnson Endura Industrial tiles offer higher abrasion resistance as compared to other regular tiles.
4. Anti-stain
Factory surface is prone to chemical spills and stains. To avoid the tiles losing their finish and aesthetic value, consider investing in stain-resistant anti acid alkali tiles. The anti-stain tiles provide good stain resistance properties. They are found effective in maintaining the matt finish floor and also helps to maintain good housekeeping norms.
5. Selection of Tiles
A factory is made up of several rooms or areas. Different flooring needs different tiling options. For example, the reception area or the waiting lounge area needs aesthetically pleasing designer tiles. For the meter room, it is imperative to install Anti-static tiles to protect the machinery and workforce from fire hazards and accidents. The parking area needs to be equipped with heavy-duty parking tiles to bear the load of trucks and forklifts. Similarly, the main work area of the factory needs a heavy-duty tiles floor selection. Anti-skid Staircase tiles are ideal for the steps.
