Warehouse and Workshop Floors with Long Service Life
The floors of warehouses or workshops are more subjected to the action of various factors than anywhere else. In this case, the floor should be resistant to spilled detergents, forklift movements, water or the weight of stored materials.
In these places concrete floors are mainly used, which has its own advantages. If you’re looking for something to fit a small shop and you do not need anything special, maybe that’s enough. However, flooring alternatives should be consideredby companies for their large warehouses. PVC floor tiles in workshops and warehouses provide many more opportunities than you might have expected.

Long service life is usually the most important criterion considered by customers when choosing a floor. If you are looking for such a flooring system, the optimal solution is the PVC floor from Rhino. This model is often used in industrial plants and is also the perfect solution for warehouses where heavy goods are stored. This type of floor accepts heavy loads, for example, four - wheeled trolleys with rubber tires having loads up to 1500 kg. Rhino Floor provides the ideal PVC floor tiles, which suits your warehouse, hangar, factory or a smaller workshop. It also has excellent chemical resistance, so you do not have to worry something spills on the floor. Due to the wide range of colors, it allows you to create practical patterns on the floor, ensuring the distinction of different zones and work safety.
Easy installation of PVC floor tiles
If you’re planning to set up a workshop, start with the installation of the new floor. In case of concrete, it is a bit more complicated. If you intend to renovate the floor in a workshop or warehouse, you need to make sure that the floor is clean and smooth. At the beginning , we must prepare gravel. Then prepare a clapboard construction made of steel pipes or wooden beams. The concrete is mixed, poured on the floor and smoothed with a polisher. Finally, the floor is sprayed with acrylic resin which reduces water absorption.
Adapting Vinyl flooring using PVC tiles it’s a lot easier. The first step is the same – the surface must be smooth and flat, for example, by using self - leveling screeds. Then you can draw lines on the floor by using chalk, get a rubber hammer and get to work. Just place the entire tiles and they will fit into each other perfectly - thanks to their system of locks. After this step, you prepare the rest of the tiles that will be on the edges of the room. This can be easily managed by cutting the tiles with a saw or a cutting knife. In warehouses and workshops where forklift trucks are moving on a daily basis, or there is constantly higher humidity, it i s better to stick tiles to the floor with glue.
In smaller workshops you can carry out the installation without any help, but in large warehouses you will not need to stop operation and daily work. Rhino floor offers the best warehouse flooring. Installing the PVC floor is a matter of a few hours depending on the size of the room. One person can set 20 m2 of surface per hour.
Concrete floors aren’t capable of?
Concrete is undoubtedly a choice targeted for the industrial floor, but if you want to change something for the better, Rhino floor tiles will be a perfect choice.
