Key takeaway: Always sample and compare before you buy!
The Superiority of Virgin Polypropylene Copolymer
Our UltraGrid Pro tiles are crafted exclusively from the highest-grade virgin polypropylene copolymer. This superior material offers several advantages over tiles made from recycled products:
- Enhanced Durability: The virgin polypropylene copolymer ensures exceptional strength, resilience and resistance to wear and tear, providing long-lasting performance.
- Consistent Quality: The manufacturing process of virgin polypropylene ensures a uniform composition, resulting in tiles with consistent colour, texture and structural integrity.
- Enhanced Visual Appeal: The tiles' rich colour, uniform appearance and blemish-free surface create a visually stunning and aesthetically pleasing environment.
Understanding Recycled Product
Copies may be tempting due to their lower price point, typically 30% cheaper. However, it's important to note that recycled tiles are made from aged and recycled polypropylene, resulting in compromised strength, stiffness and uniformity. Don't sacrifice long-term performance for short-term savings.
Beware of False Claims and Imitations
It has come to our attention that certain competitors make false assertions about their products being made from virgin polypropylene. They attempt to obscure the truth with clever wording and ambiguous guarantees. Don't be misled by these claims that lack substantiation.
Recycled product can look virtually identical from a distance but when compared side-by-side you can notice imperfections in colour uniformity and a more brittle texture. If you attempt to flex it, it will snap more readily has it has a stiffer structure and less tolerance.
Unfortunately there is no easy way to tell the difference and that is why some competitors try to getaway with mislabeling their product. Don't just take our word for it. We encourage you to sample and compare our UltraGrid Pro tiles with copies.
Packaging and Labelling: Note The Original Design
Another tactic employed by some competitors is copying our packaging to confuse customers. At UltraGrid, we have no resellers and our packaging is designed to be distinctive. Be vigilant and look for signs of imitation. If the packaging does not align with our original design, it's likely an inferior imitation.
Imitation Packaging and Recycled Ranges
Beware of competitors who use interchangeable packaging to create the illusion of a recycled range. We want to be clear: we don't carry any recycled product at all. Our commitment is to deliver top-notch quality and performance, backed by the stringent specifications of the Australian market.
Weigh Your Tiles: Less Product, Lower Price
Beware of the illusion of lower-priced tiles. Competitors may tempt you with seemingly cheaper options, but their secret lies in the reduced weight. UltraGrid Pro tiles boast a solid weight of 630 grams, ensuring superior quality and durability. Lighter tiles from competitors lack material density, leading to issues like cracking, fading and warping. Don't be fooled by deceptive prices. Prioritise quality by weighing your tiles and selecting those that offer the right balance of weight and durability.
The Proof Is in the Physical Sample
To make an accurate comparison between UltraGrid Pro tiles and their copies, we encourage you to request physical samples. Seeing and feeling the tiles in person allows you to witness the superior quality, durability and authentic composition of our products. Don't rely solely on digital images that can be easily manipulated or stolen.

Make A Thoughtful Comparison Before You Buy
When it comes to making an informed decision, we encourage you to compare prices across the market. While it may be tempting to opt for cheaper alternatives, remember that quality and authenticity come at a cost. If a product's price seems unusually low, there may be hidden compromises in terms of material quality, durability and overall performance.
At Traction Flooring, we believe in transparency and providing you with the best value for your investment. Trust your judgment, compare prices and if in doubt, always sample and compare. We are confident that if you do, you will discover the genuine quality of UltraGrid Pro tiles.
