What is Universal Interlocking Flooring?
Interlocking flooring connects in many different ways. Puzzle piece edged flooring fits together just like puzzle pieces, while some types of interlocking flooring have hidden locks and other connection devices.All of these flooring types are designed to be easy to install and connect, and most require no adhesive.
However, some types of interlocking flooring require that you have the flooring tiles positioned in a certain way to make that connection. Rotating one of the tiles by 90 degrees can make them fit together - or it can prevent the tiles from connecting.
This means that you’re limited in how you connect the tiles. You’ll need to take the time to be sure that they’re positioned appropriately to make those connections, and if the tiles have patterned finishes, this will limit your design options and how you choose to position those finishes.
Universal interlocking flooring is designed so you can connect the tiles together no matter what direction they’re facing. This can save you time with installation and makes connecting the tiles easier.
If your tiles have woodgrain, carpet knap or patterned finishes, you can choose exactly how you want to position them for the best overall aesthetic. Many of these tiles can even be reversed, thanks to their universal interlocking design, meaning you can get more use out of them.
