5 Critical Factors To Keep In Mind Before Choosing The Right Parking Tiles

Parking spaces need a strong flooring not only to support the heavy vehicle movement, but also to protect the subflooring as well. As the amount of vehicular traffic increases with each passing day, parking tiles are becoming more and more significant. These parking tiles are required to support the vehicles’ weight and last for longer periods of time – and these are the two factors that define a good parking tile. Most homeowners get confused in choosing the right tiles for their parking area.

Most probably don’t know how to even choose parking tiles – after all it is not every day that you construct a parking lot! Having said that, there are other factors that render a parking tile set apart from the others. Let’s have a look at the factors that you must keep in mind before choosing parking tiles.

Quality Of The Tile

No matter which area of the house, commercial space, or even in the outdoor space, you need a strong flooring for it to survive constant changes and wear and tear.

With parking tiles, even more so. The quality of the tile trumps everything else. The tiles need to be resistant to a range of weather changes and weight situations.

They must also be non-slippery and water resistant. It is also pivotal to ensure that the parking tiles do not shatter or crack easily, and that they do not seem unkempt when it rains.

Designs

It is not a case of this or that in today’s time when the designs and patterns come in multiples of hundreds and thousands. Today, it is very difficult for you to settle on a choice of two or three when you have access to so many. Keep not just the tile design in consideration while you are looking for a suitable tiling option for your parking space, but also the overall colour and design of your house so that you can have uniformity of appearance. The colour and design must not conflict with the existing design and appearance of your house. It is best to match the hues of your house with the hues and designs of outdoor tiles.

Style and Pattern

Whether it is geometrical, floral, abstract, or salt and pepper patterns, you have a plethora of styles that can be experimented with. You can take into account different colours and patterns to keep the space looking modern and contemporary and keeping the time in mind as much as the functionality.

Consider The Lighting

The lighting plays a major role even though it’s a parking space. You need the space to be well lit so that you do not have any minor or major accidents. And, the lighting also plays a huge role in reflecting the aesthetic of the parking tiles. If the outdoor area is well-lit, darker coloured parking tiles would be a great fit. In case of partial or low lighting, lighter and neutral based shades would give your outdoor area a brighter and subtle look. Lighting is important when it comes to picking the colour of your tiles since using dark coloured tiles in an area with low lighting will just have a dull and dead overall impact.

Go For Branded Tiles and Think Long Term

Parking tiles need to be strong enough to sustain the heavyweight of vehicles. Good quality tiles will give you a great return on investment and work for a long time. Better the quality, better its longevity and durability since there will be good quality materials used to manufacture the same. Yes, the initial expense will be higher, but since the tiles will be of a better quality you will have to replace them less frequently, working out to be a lot cheaper in the long run.

While choosing a suitable tile for your car parking space, ensure that you tick off all possible factors that come into play – good quality, price, size, designs, patterns, and lighting. These will cover major critical areas that will help you make a decision. If you are unsure about how to go about it, you can connect with tile experts in stores or online. They are knowledgeable enough to assist you with your queries and make tile selection a smooth experience.
