To bring this transformation to life, we sent a dedicated team of Jefferson Tools staff to install our brand-new PVC floor tiles – the perfect flooring solution for garage environments.

Calculating the Coverage

The first step was determining how many tiles were needed. With the garage measuring 12m by 6m, our team calculated the total area:
12m x 6m = 72m²

Our PVC tiles measure 500mm x 500mm (or 0.25m² per tile), meaning 4 tiles cover 1 square metre. That meant we needed a total of 288 tiles. Each box contains 10 tiles, so we required 29 boxes to cover the full garage – with a few spares to allow for trimming and edges.

Why Choose PVC Floor Tiles?

Jefferson PVC floor tiles are specifically designed for demanding environments like garages and workshops. Here’s why they were the perfect choice for Frank’s garage:

  • Durable & Load-Resistant: Built to withstand heavy vehicles and equipment without cracking or wearing out.
  • Easy Installation: The interlocking design means most installations don’t require adhesive, making the process quick and mess-free.
  • Chemical & Oil Resistant: Perfect for garages, these tiles resist spills and stains from automotive fluids.
  • Slip-Resistant Surface: The textured finish adds an extra layer of safety underfoot.
  • Comfortable Underfoot: Softer than concrete, these tiles reduce fatigue during long periods of standing.
  • Thermal & Sound Insulation: Keeps the space warmer and quieter – ideal for work or leisure.
  • Waterproof & Low Maintenance: Easy to clean and resistant to moisture, mould, and mildew.
  • Long-Lasting: Unlike ceramic tiles, they’re far less prone to cracking, ensuring years of use.

The Finishing Touch: Edging & Corners

To finish the job properly, our team added ramped corners and edging around the exposed tile areas, especially at doorways and near free-standing equipment. These not only create a sleek, professional look but also ensure safe access for both pedestrians and vehicles.


Whether you're upgrading a workspace, building a home gym, or creating a showroom for your pride and joy like Frank Kelly, our PVC floor tiles are the ultimate solution for strength, style and practicality.
