You could argue that any floor can deliver but Ribtrax is next level.

A Ribtrax floor is more than just the "sum of its tiles" or the variety of stunning colours that it brings to an un-unappealing raw concrete surface. It's also not only a "fashion statement, Ribtrax is a durable, transferrable, versatile and most importantly " it's always clean" surface.

Swisstrax by design and manufacture is comfortable to "walk on". Wet or dry it avoids slip or even trip hazards. Your wet car "drip dries" through the floor - the moisture evaporating as the unique design channels under the tiles promote "positive vacuum" air flow - so moisture and dust mysteriously just simply "disappears".

One great "party trick" is the unique ability to run power cables or LED lighting under the tiles, so you have a garage floor "by day" and a stunning entertainment and Dance floors "at night". Roll a TV into the centre of the room - with the cables all running under the floor - easy with Ribtrax.

As a "workshop" Swisstrax will not burn - even under a direct flame (it will melt), resists all oils, solvents, acids and chemicals. Ribtrax can handle 27 tonnes per square inch and is easy clean (if you really want to). Workshop jacks and trolleys simply "glide effortlessly" across the floor. Very little will ever "fall through" the open tiles - but if they do - it's a simple job to uplift a tile (or many as in a sheet), retrieve the spring or tiny screw and just stand back and "drop it back down" into place.

We have seen expensive timber floors in garages - all torn up from abrasive grit embedded in the surface. A misjudged - some would say a "lame attempt" to create a "dual purpose" area. Always, this fails massively and inevitably will have cost thousands to install. Scratched, water damaged and now compromised as it delaminates to the point of being a "mistake" and a professional embarrassment.

Then there is the insane "Kiwi way" Garage Carpet. A mouldy, musty and peeling surface that rapidly discolours as dirt and grease marks invade the floor - everywhere!! Carpet tiles are worse. Glued down they peel and create trip hazards. Your kids are playing on a dirt embedded surface and then - turning the wheels as you manoeuvre - they literally tear up!!

Swisstrax Ribtrax in a garage has a lifetime Guarantee against breaking, bending, twisting and fading. It is antibacterial, food safe and pedestrian safe even when submerged. it's so easy to walk on - has 8% rubberised content and is ideal in attached Gym area in the rear of your garage.

So, Swisstrax Ribtrax is a genuine "once in a lifetime" purchase - because if you decide to move house - we can pack it up and move your Ribtrax floor with you. If it's a bigger garage - we will add more tiles - but if it's smaller, we will credit and Buy the excess tiles back off you.
