Edging / Finishes

Edging or finishes for interlocking tiles, particularly PVC interlocking tiles, serve to protect the edges of the flooring, enhance aesthetics, provide safety by preventing tripping hazards, and can also offer a moisture barrier. These edging solutions interlock with the tiles, creating a seamless, polished finish that stabilizes and secures the flooring installation.

Types of Edging for Interlocking Tiles

• PVC Edging Strips: Designed specifically to match PVC interlocking tiles for a seamless look.
• Metal Edging: More robust, suitable for high-traffic areas.
• Rubber Edging: Offers flexibility and cushioning, good for comfort or safety.
• Adhesive Edging Tapes: Simple to apply, often DIY-friendly.

Features and Installation

Edging pieces typically come in lengths of about 1 meter and come in colors like black, yellow, and grey for safety or aesthetic matching.

• Installation is usually a snap-on mechanism with the tiles, requiring no adhesive for most indoor uses.
• For outdoor or heavy-use areas, edges can be secured with screws or pins for extra stability.
• Some edging comes with corner pieces to ensure neat 90-degree finishes.

Benefits of Edging

• Protects tile edges from damage, lifting, or curling.
• Provides a safe transition from tiled to other surface areas, reducing trip hazards.
• Enhances the aesthetic appeal with a professional-looking finish.
• Helps protect against moisture, extending the durability of the tiles.

Maintenance

• Regular cleaning and inspection ensure longevity.
• Avoid harsh chemicals to prevent discoloration or damage.

This edging system is commonly used indoors in garages, gyms, warehouses, and outdoors for patios or garden borders, adapting to the environment and use cases due to material choices and installation methods.
