Composite Tactical Flooring

 

Permali designs and manufactures lightweight composite hard-flooring solutions, tailored for any military/commercial aircraft.

Using proven Permaglass composite technology, the floor panels deliver high strength‑to‑weight performance, excellent impact + fire resistance, and long‑term durability.

Each panel is completed with a textured, grit reinforced coating designed to deliver long lasting grip and abrasion resistance, ensuring reliable footing in all mission conditions.

The flooring system integrates seamlessly into the aircraft structure while meeting strict defence and aerospace standards.

Protection of the OEM Cabin Floor

 

Permali’s composite flooring provides a robust protective layer against heavy equipment, foot traffic, and mission-specific loads.

By shielding the OEM floor from impact and wear, it extends the aircraft’s operational life and minimises maintenance needs.

The durable, non-slip surface is resistant to fuels, oils, and abrasion, ensuring reliable performance and crew safety in demanding environments.

  • High strength‑to‑weight ratio
  • Durable composite construction
  • Impact, fire and abrasion resistance
  • Chemical resistance (fluids, oils, fuels)
  • Precision tolerance manufacturing
  • Optional non‑slip textures and surface finishes
  • Customisable panel geometry

Engineering Partnership & Design Integration

 

We partner closely with our customer’s engineering team to refine the flooring design and ensure full compatibility with the aircraft’s structural and operational requirements.

As specifications develop, our integrated machining and finishing capabilities provide the control and flexibility needed to maintain consistent quality and deliver a durable, mission‑ready solution.

  • Floor Protection: Shields the original floor from heavy equipment and high traffic to extend aircraft life.
  • Enhanced Safety: Features a durable, non-slip composite surface resistant to fuels, oils, and abrasion.
  • Mission Adaptability: Installs quickly for various roles, including cargo, personnel transport, and medical evacuation.
  • Load Management: Effectively distributes high point loads to protect the underlying structure.
