If you’re renting, you know the struggle—making your space feel like home without risking your bond or making changes your landlord won’t love. Whether it’s a garage, workshop, or gaming room, most rentals come with uninspiring, worn-out floors.
But what if you could transform your space easily, affordably, and without making a single permanent change?
Enter interlocking floor tiles: the game-changing solution for renters who want style, protection, and flexibility. Here’s why they’re a smart upgrade for any rental.
DIY-Friendly!
Forget glue, nails, or professional installers. Interlocking tiles are designed for easy installation—just snap them together and cut to size with a power saw or jigsaw. You don’t need a tradie, just a bit of DIY spirit.
When it’s time to move out, simply lift them up and take them with you. No mess, no damage, no headaches.
Protect Your Bond (and the Floor)
One of the biggest worries for renters is damaging the original flooring. Tiles act as a shield, helping prevent scratches, scuffs, and general wear and tear.
When your lease ends, you can remove the tiles and reveal a floor that’s still in top shape—making it way easier to get your bond back.
Make It Yours—Without Making It Permanent
Sick of staring at plain concrete or faded carpet? Interlocking tiles come in a range of colours and patterns, so you can create a look that matches your vibe.
Whether you’re a car lover decking out your garage or a gamer setting up the ultimate play space, you can make your rental feel like your own—without any permanent changes.
Tough Enough for Real Life (Up to 5T)
These tiles aren’t just about looks—they’re built to take a beating. With a weight rating of up to 5 tonnes, they’re perfect for heavy gear, cars, bikes, and workshop setups.
You get a clean, professional look without stressing about cracks, dents, or the floor underneath.
Backed by a 2-Year Warranty
When you’re investing in your setup—especially in a rental—you want to know it’s going to last. That’s why LVL UP tiles come with a 2-year warranty, giving you peace of mind that they’re built to perform, not just look good.
Move With You (and Your Lease)
Unlike paint or epoxy, interlocking tiles aren’t stuck in place. When you upgrade to a new rental, just pack them up and re-install them in your next space.
It’s a one-time investment that keeps paying off, move after move.
Check In With Your Landlord
Most rentals don’t require approval for temporary flooring, but a quick heads-up to your landlord or property manager is always a good move. It keeps things transparent and helps avoid surprises when you move out.
