A: We sell tiles in 6 packs, edges in 10 packs, and corners in 4 packs. Start by measuring the space where the Swisstrax flooring will be installed. Then, open up the 2d floor designer application (watch our video for a quick walkthrough). Finally, take the total number of tiles, edges, or corners and divide by the pack quantity we sell. For example, 300 tiles divided by 6 (since we sell tiles in a 6-pack) equals 50. Be sure to order 10% overage to cover you for things like mis cuts, measuring, obstacles, etc.

A: Our easy to use 2d floor designer application is perfect for everyone (watch our video for a quick walkthrough) on how to use it.

A: Absolutely, Swisstrax tiles can handle the weight of a four-post car lift, however, it is not recommended. Reason being, Swisstrax polypropylene tiles expand and contract. Even though the tiles can handle the PSI of the lift, we recommend cutting around the posts, to allow for the expansion and contraction.

A: Swisstrax Ribtrax product line is recommended for outdoor applications. The understructure and profile of the Ribtrax product line allow for the tile to expand and contract within itself. Swisstrax virgin polypropylene is also UV stabilized for longevity.

A: All our premium polypropylene products are 100% UV stabilized with color pigment mixed into our material prior to our 4-point injection molding process.

A: Swisstrax is a simple, "Do It Yourself" project that anyone can install. Typically, a standard two car garage will take approximately 4 hours. Watch our "how to install" video now.

A: Recommended tools would be a Sharpie pen, tape measure and a fine-toothed blade electrical saw for cutting Swisstrax tiles in a wall to wall installation. For an additional cost you may also rent a Swisstrax tile cutter.

A: Vehicles in motion roll over Swisstrax with ease. Our recommendation is to not turn the tires fully while the vehicle is stationary, as this puts a lot of stress on Swisstrax patented connection system.

A: Of course, you can remove an individual tile with ease using a flat head screw driver or paint can opener.

A: All of our tiles are resistant to oils, solvents, hydraulic fluids, skydrol and more.

A: Yes. You can definitely use both of these on Swisstrax polypropylene tiles. Floor jack wheels roll with ease and Swisstrax polypropylene tiles can handle 70,000 lbs roll over weight and 3,000 lbs per square inch. For certain jack stands, that have smaller feet, customers put something under the smaller feet to distribute the weight evenly and protect their floor from any possible dents, however, it is not necessary.

A: All Swisstrax tiles or bases are made of 100% Virgin Polypropylene. Depending on the tile style, variations of Swisstrax tiles can be made of 100% Virgin Polypropylene, HDPE, Vinyl, Rubber and Lexan.

A: There are many ways to go about cleaning your tiles. We make this as simple and easy as possible! Swisstrax closed profile tiles such as Diamondtrax and Vinyltrax, can be maintained like a typical floor, using a broom or mop to remove debris. With Swisstrax Ribtrax product line, you can use something like a shop vac, yard blower, or pressure washer. For any of Swisstrax tiles, you can easily remove a single tile and clean underneath if necessary. However, many of our customers find themselves going long periods of time with little to no maintenance or cleaning at all!

A: No, Swisstrax tiles have a quick and easy patented interlocking system that has 6 connectors per side.

A: Rubber underlay is not necessary.

A: Swisstrax tiles can be installed directly over concrete imperfections and cracks. Going over the floor drain is also not a problem, as long as the slope down to your drain is a gradual. Our tile recommendation for an application with a floor drain is our Ribtrax product line. With the underside of the tiles having a self-draining channeling system, any water spilled will go straight to the floor drain. Swisstrax Ribtrax product line will be able to utilize the floor drain, as well as leaving your application non-slip and mold free.

A: Our recommendation would be using our Ribtrax product line to allow for the heat to escape through the floor to maximize efficiency. Keep in mind, our polypropylene tiles can handle temperatures of +248F.

A: No, Swisstrax Patented interlocking system is not watertight. However, Swisstrax Ribtrax product lines are recommended for moisture rich environments. Swisstrax Ribtrax products will leave your application nonslip and mold free.

A: All Swisstrax 15.75" x 15.75" tile styles can be interlocked with one another. Many customers create a fun and functional design by intermixing different tile styles.

A: Yes, you can fix Swisstrax tiles on stairs and step ups, but extra installation and materials could be needed. Be very cautious when installing anything on stairs to avoid unsecured slippage. Frequently, customers will paint these areas if they choose to not cut and fix the tiles to the stair ways.

A: No, if an inside corner is needed then you will use a miter cut of the two edges that are meeting, similar to a picture frame.

A: No. Swisstrax premium polypropylene tiles do not release an off-gas and are 100% sustainable and eco-friendly.

A: Edges are required in transition areas, giving your application a completed and finished look. In garages, edges are most commonly used at the garage door opening. Edges are also used to complete the look of any island application or install that does not go wall to wall, such as car pads or event displays and booths

A: We recommend using an upgraded edge called, "Treadware". Treadware is an aluminum-based product that is used over the edge of flooring and anchored into the concrete. Treadware edges, baseboards and corner pieces are ideal for covering custom cuts for a recessed garage, tricky transition, or other safety hazards. Treadware accessories discretely aid in securely fastening your Swisstrax flooring solution, while maintaining appeal and durability.

A: Yes! Our recommendation would be to use Swisstrax Ribtrax tile style in an application seeing a high level of moisture. Swisstrax Ribtrax tiles have .125" perforations and a .25" self-draining channeling system built into the underside of every tile. These two features will work together and act as a ventilation system preventing bacteria, mold or mildew.
