Sometimes you just need a floor for a one-time use or for a short event or display.

Vinyl Peel & Stick Floor Tile is Perfect for Temporary Use

Recently, the famous Coachella Music Festival of 2016 was held in Indio, California. About a month prior to the event, they gave us a call to inquire about our inexpensive self-adhesive floor tile to use on one of their many stages at the event. This is the type of scenario where the stage floor needs to be set up quickly and cheaply as possible but still have a crisp and rich look. It’s also a scenario where the floor needs to hold up to about a year’s worth of wear and traffic in a span of about 3 days.

It was great to get this memo in a short email from one of the management at Goldenvoice, the producers of Coachella:

“The flooring turned out great, we were very pleased with the product and it will definitely be used again. Thank you for all of the help!”
– D. Jones, Coachella/ Stagecoach Festival Operations

Because we sell the floor tile at such a cheap wholesale price, and because it requires no special talent or skills to install, it’s a practical and economical solution for a temporary floor.

We have supplied this flooring to wedding parties and other private parties and one-day events many times in the past. The various pattern selection of over 30 patterns to choose from provides a shiny new surface and strikingly beautiful. Several hundred square feet can be installed in a matter of minutes. Note, however, the tile is coated on the back with a powerful adhesive. It will stick strong.

Although the tile is cheap and can be used for temporary flooring needs, it is actually made to last.

For temporary use, it will be wise to use a layer of lauan plywood first. It is a cheap, thin plywood. This is so you can just dispose of the whole floor after the event. Trying to lift the tiles after they are stuck down is a big and messy job. We don’t actually promote the tile and it’s not actually made to be temporary. This article is published merely for those who are looking for an affordable, temporary flooring solution.

Mazer Wholesale, Inc. has been supplying this material to retailers and consumers successfully since 2001. It’s super-easy to install. All you really need is a tape measure, a straight edge and a razor knife. Simply peel off the paper backing from each tile and put one tile next to the other. Simple!

Black and White Checkerboard Pattern Tile for Garage Floor

When people began to discover our low-priced solid black and solid white floor tile on our website about 5 years ago, we started getting calls from all over the country from consumers.

One of the most frequently asked questions was, “I want to put make a black and white checkerboard pattern with your floor tile.  Can it be used on a cement floor in my garage?”

One of my employees had previously installed the tile in an area of our warehouse on bare cement floor.  The floor there was about 100 years old.  It was smooth but the dirt was ground in deep.  My employee scrubbed the floor with a brush then mopped it which took off the surface dirt.  The tile installed in a couple hours and the job has lasted for years.  No problems whatsoever.

My Philadelphia warehouse is hot in the summer and cold in the winter, so I knew it would closely simulate any typical garage climate.  It was a good example I could speak of from experience, but it wasn’t a garage.

I decided to install the tile myself in my own garage just to make sure and I made a video of it.(see below)  I did this for 3 reasons.

  1. I wanted to show that I would use the tile in my own garage.
  2. I wanted to show how it looks in a garage (it looks great).
  3. I am not a handy person.  I sell the stuff but I’m not the kind of guy who gets into home projects and I wanted to demonstrate just how easy it is to install this peel & stick floor tile.

The installation was easy.  It looks great and as of this post, the tile is firmly in place for over 3 years.

Full disclosure: I do not park my car in my garage.  I do believe that the tile is so firmly in place, it would hold up to a parked car.  I also can tell you that we have sold our tile to dozens of customers over the years who have used the tile for this purpose and we have never had any complaints come back about the tile failing.

Although this tile is not rated nor is warranted for such use, I stand firm that this product consistently outperforms expectations and I sell it with confidence.
