Why Choose Exposed Joint Flooring Tiles?
Exposed Joint Flooring Tiles are interlocking floor tiles designed with visible joint lines that add a rugged, industrial aesthetic to your floors while ensuring fast and simple installation. These tiles are especially popular in high-traffic environments, garages, warehouses, and workshops. The exposed joint design allows for flexible expansion, contraction, and replacement without disrupting the entire flooring system.
They are commonly manufactured from high-impact PVC, polypropylene (PP), or rubber materials, making them incredibly durable and resistant to chemicals, moisture, and mechanical stress.
Exposed joint flooring tiles, also known as visible joint floor tiles, are versatile, durable, and cost-effective flooring solutions.

What Are Exposed Joint Floor Tiles?
Exposed joint tiles, often called lock floors or visible joint tiles, are PVC flooring options designed for durability and ease of installation. Their unique locking mechanism allows the joints to remain visible after installation, providing a distinct aesthetic appeal and ensuring straightforward assembly. These tiles were originally developed in the United States in the 1920s as a budget-friendly alternative to conventional tiles, and they have since gained popularity globally for their practicality.
