Classroom Plastic Hidden-Lock Tiles 500mm x 500mm x 5mm

Classroom Hidden-Lock PVC Floor Tiles – 500 × 500 × 5 mm

Classroom Hidden-Lock PVC Floor Tiles are designed for classrooms,
libraries, training rooms and other indoor learning environments where a
neat floor finish, practical maintenance and modular installation are
important. The concealed joining system helps reduce the visibility of
traditional puzzle-style connections while keeping individual tiles
removable and replaceable.

Each tile measures 500 × 500 mm and is 5 mm thick. Four tiles cover
approximately 1 m², making it straightforward to calculate quantities
for classrooms and other educational spaces.

Designed for Classrooms and Learning Spaces

Classroom floors experience regular learner movement, desk and chair
activity, cleaning and general day-to-day use. A modular floor system can
help create a practical surface while allowing selected areas to be
repaired or replaced individually when necessary.

• Classrooms and school learning areas
• Libraries and study rooms
• Training rooms and learning centres
• Lecture and teaching spaces
• Daycare and educational activity rooms
• Indoor administration and support areas

Why Choose a Hidden-Lock Tile?

The concealed connection is the main difference between this product and
traditional visible-lock PVC tiles. Instead of displaying the puzzle-style
joining edge across the finished floor, the connection is positioned so
that it is less visually prominent after installation.

This makes the tile particularly useful in classrooms and learning areas
where the floor needs to remain practical while presenting a cleaner,
more uniform appearance.

• Reduces the visibility of traditional puzzle-style joins.
• Creates a neater finished floor appearance.
• Maintains the convenience of modular flooring.
• Allows individual tiles to remain accessible.
• Makes future floor adjustments easier.

Product Specifications

How Many Classroom Tiles Do I Need?

Each 500 × 500 mm tile covers approximately 0.25 m². This means that
approximately four tiles are required for every square metre of floor area.

Measure the room carefully before ordering and allow for any cutting,
perimeter finishing or layout requirements where appropriate.

Installation

Before installation, the existing floor should be clean, dry, stable and
reasonably level. Remove loose dust and debris and correct serious uneven
areas before laying the tiles.

The tiles use a loose-lay hidden interlocking system. Align the concealed
connecting edges and join the tiles progressively across the room. Where
required, perimeter tiles can be cut to suit walls, doorways and fixed
features.

Because the system is modular, individual tiles can be accessed or
replaced later if necessary without replacing the entire classroom floor.

Cleaning and Everyday Maintenance

Classroom floors collect dust, paper, dirt and occasional spills throughout
the school day. Routine cleaning helps maintain the appearance of the
surface and reduces the build-up of debris around furniture and walking
areas.

• Sweep or vacuum loose dust and dirt regularly.
• Clean spills promptly.
• Damp mop using a suitable mild detergent when required.
• Avoid unnecessarily harsh abrasive cleaning methods.
• Inspect individual tiles periodically in high-use areas.

Hidden-Lock vs Visible-Lock PVC Tiles

Hidden-lock and visible-lock tiles both use modular joining systems, but
they create a different finished appearance. Hidden-lock tiles reduce the
visual prominence of the connection and are useful where presentation is
important.

Visible-lock tiles show the joining edge more clearly and can be a practical
option for garages, workshops, warehouses and other general-purpose
environments.
