Can this be laid over carpet?
Anonymous
Our Stone Flex Tiles can be laid over commercial low pile carpet. Over high pile carpet, these tiles may separate due to compression of the carpet below.
Do you have a companion floor in wood look that would snap together with the Stone Flex, using the same locking tab pattern, to create a smooth and seamless transition from room to room? We are building an ADA accessible apartment and we must not have any raised transitions, but we want to vary the flooring styles from stone look to wood look.
Steve
Our Stone Flex Tiles can be combined with our Wood Flex Tiles to give you a stone/wood look on your floor.
Is there a urethane or other coating on top of the vinyl on the stone flex tiles?
Dorothy
Our Stone Flex Tiles have a two coat polyurethane wear layer which is five mils thick.
If you install this in a basement, do you need to put a vapor barrier down first? And, does the floor need to be leveled?
Anonymous
When installing our Stone Flex Tiles in a basement, a vapor barrier is not necessary. If you do have moisture issues, we would recommend sealing your concrete floor; This will keep salts, minerals, and moisture from collecting on the tiles. We do recommend that the concrete is somewhat level. If there is some minor imperfection in the concrete, in most instances the tiles will lay perfectly fine. But if there are major imperfections, they will need to be addressed before installing the flooring.
Do you carry the door transitions?
Tom
We do not have any door transitions for our Stone Flex Tiles. We do have rubber floor ramps that can be used at your doorway to transition from a higher floor to a lower one.
Can this tile be paid over existing ceramic tile? If not, what do you recommend using to level the subfloor with, if anything? And is it waterproof enough to use in the bathroom by shower? Thanks!
Anonymous
Our Stone Flex Tiles can be installed over existing ceramic tiles. These tiles are water resistant, so they would work perfectly in a bathroom with a shower.
I am interested in the possible use of your products for an outdoor covered patio in the Phoenix area. Would they be suitable for outdoor use and intense Sun/UV ?
mike
Stone Flex Tiles are not treated for UV protection, they would fade over time due to direct sunlight.
Can stone flex tiles be installed over existing vinyl flooring?
Connie
Our Stone Flex Tiles can be installed over existing vinyl flooring or any other type of flooring that is hard and flat. Our Stone Flex Tiles are an interlocking tile, so they are very easy to install.
Is this a dry back tile or a peel and stick?
The Stone Flex Tiles have a dry back and come with an interlocking system, so you can simply lay the tiles and interlock them just like a puzzle.
Can spot electric heat system be installed directly under tiles?
Dan
You can use a spot electric heat system under these tiles. Since these tiles are non-porous, you may not get the desired effect of having this system in place.
Typical poured concrete basement floor with usual slopping to a floor drain. So it is a not a perfect level. Can the Stone Flex tiles be used to cover floor, allowing for the slopping to the floor drain?
jack
Yes, this would be suitable.
Can these tiles be used outside?
Anonymous
Our Stone Flex Tiles can be installed outdoors. These tiles are constructed of vinyl and a soft PVC plastic base. This makes these tiles resistant to mold, mildew, and resistant to staining. These tiles are not UV stable, so in direct sunlight, they do have the potential to fade.
does the stone flex tiles have a UV protection coating...and if not can you recommend one.
Greg
It does not have a UV protection to the coating, and there is nothing out there for that as far as we are aware of.
Is this product suitable for an outdoor pool deck?
Ray Smith
Stone Flex Tiles have not been designed for outdoor use.
can these be installed in the garage ?
ray
They can be installed in a garage.
Will your tiles support the weight of a washer and a drier in my laundry room. Will they dent in the footprint of the leg of these machines?
Ivan
Heavy furniture and appliances should be equipped with non-staining large surface floor protectors to help disperse the weight of the machines.
Can I use this on my outside deck? Or is it too slippery?
Terry Janssen
You can use our Stone Flex Tiles as flooring for an outdoor deck. The tiles have a smooth surface, so they would become slick if water were on the surface. We recommend cleaning up any spills or moisture as soon as possible. The only other thing you will notice with these tiles is that they will fade in direct sunlight. Depending on the color, the change can be quite extreme. Other than that, these tiles would work perfectly outdoors.
Are these soft like EVA foam tiles? I need to put them down to protect myself from breaking a wrist if I fall.
Sandee Cohen
These are thinner and denser compared to EVA foam tiles.
Will this withstand putting a cabinet down on the tiles? Or would they compress too much?
Sandee Cohen
This would be fine.
Can I roll and office chair across the surface? Would it be like rolling over a regular vinyl floor or would it be like carpet?
Sandee Cohen
You can definitely roll an office chair across the surface of the stone flex tiles. It will be like rolling over a vinyl floor.
Can this be used outdoors on top of a rubber roof?
Steve
These tiles are not UV stable and would fade over time.
Can you use a steam cleaner on these?
rebecca baynes
You can use a steam mop on our Stone Flex Tiles.
I have a big dog, how do they hold up to the wear?
sharon
The Stone Flex Tiles are very durable and will hold up fine to large dogs.
Can my husband park his car on these tiles?
Nancy
You can park a car on our Stone Flex Tiles. These tiles are constructed the same way our other Flex Tile products are constructed. So they are very easy to install and are resistant to most household and vehicle chemicals. These tiles do have a protectant coating on them, but if that were to dissipate, there is potential for some staining to happen caused by certain tires. The only way to fix this issue would be to replace the tiles affected.
Can this Stone Flex tiles be installed in a garage and does it withstand car weights like regular garage floor tiles ?
Maan N.
Yes
Can this type of flooring be used on uneven floors?
Bob
These are a very flexible product and will not act as a 'leveler' for very uneven floors. Telegraphing of subfloor imperfections may occur through the floor.
Is this product glued to floor or snapped together.
Wingate
These tiles are designed to be interlocked together.
Do you recommend using stone flex tiles in a laundry room, in which a 140 lb. dryer and a 250 lb. washer must be slid into position.
Larry Gilbert
You can use this flooring for that use. Be sure to use caution and use furniture sliders so that it does not scratch the flooring surface.
Can you install Stone flex on stairs? If so, how is the best way?
Dave
You can install our Stone Flex Tiles on stairs. You would just need to cut the tiles to fit the stairs. You will essentially need to cut to fit two tiles to cover a standard stair and then glue those tiles to the stairs with a polyurethane adhesive to ensure a strong bond.
How well would this product hold up in a commercial kitchen setting? (Provided the floor is properly level and the tile installed correctly).
Our Stone Flex Tiles are not the most slip-resistant tiles, so they may not be the best flooring option for commercial kitchens. These tiles are non-porous and have a hidden interlocking design that helps to prevent liquids from getting under the tiles. Our Stone Flex Tiles are also very easy to clean and maintain.
I'm dealing with a slightly uneven surface. Could I put an underlayment under these tiles? If so, what type of underlayment would you recommend?
You can use an underlayment with these tiles if you would like, a foam or cork underlayment would be fine to help with minimal subfloor imperfections.
Is it slippery like tile when wet? We want to use this for a sunroom that is off the pool area.
Susan
The tiles have Low slip quality when wet.
Can you park a car, roll around tool boxes on these tiles?
Mark
Yes you can.
Can the tiles be used in a shower?
Mary K
The stone flex tiles are water-resistant however they are not slip-resistant which does not make them ideal for a shower.
Hi, do these Stone Flex tiles work in a garage? Can you drive over them and park a car?
Thanks!
Michael Immitt
Yes they can be installed in the garage and can have a car parked on them as well.
Is a vinyl floor sealer and/or polish recommended for these floor tiles? If so, what do you recommend?
Jim
No there is not a sealer recommended for these floors. We only recommend sealing the concrete before installing if that has not been done.
Can a damaged tile be easily replaced?
Delois D Jackson
Yes these tiles can be easily popped up, removed, and replaced since they are a free floating floor.
Are these tiles glued down? Are they suitable for wheelchair use in a single family home environment?
Karen
These tiles are meant to be floated / interlocked, not glued down. These tiles would be fine for use with a wheelchair.
Do they smell like rubber- have an odor?
Stan
The Stone Flex Tiles are vinyl tiles with a PVC plastic base. These do have an odor but the smell won't be as strong as rubber. These tiles are widely used for residential uses and we've not had odor related complaints from our customers. Once installed, letting air through the area should help with the odor.
Can it be laid over Linoleum?
Darlene
Yes, you may lay our Stone Flex Tiles over linoleum, as long as the existing floor is in good condition. If your linoleum floor has a rough texture or some indentations, use a coat of embossing leveler before using stone flex tiles.
Do you recommend a wax for stone flex tiles? How about Clean 365?
Jim
We wouldn't recommend wax, please clean our Stone Flex Tiles - Classic Collection with mild detergent and vinegar and water. You may use our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer, just mop a few coats on and it will shine and seal your product.
I want to improve garage flooring. I need to understand the pros and cons of going with the 8mm rubber rolls versus the stone flex tiles in terms of quality and longevity for normal wear and tear. Clearly the cost differential is substantial
Pat
You can use our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls in a garage gym where a car will be parked. The only issues will occur when oil is spilled on the roll from your car. Our Stone Flex Tiles can also be installed in a garage but customers prefer using them in their homes. If you're looking to rework your garage, please see our garage flooring products on our sites.
Our most popular garage flooring products are the Nitro Tiles & Diamond Nitro rolls, and the prices are very reasonable. You may also look at other products to see what you like best. Or, call us directly and we would be happy to help!
I was wondering if I can purchase different patterns to use in my sunroom to have a pattern look instead of using all the same tiles for the entire floor. Thank you.
Patti
You can totally do that! We sell these in cases of 6 tiles, you may order a case in every color that you like to make different patterns. It is good to have a few tiles in the same color in any pattern since that'll make your pattern look more consistent versus using all different tiles.
Is it scratch resistant?
Scott
Stone Flex Tiles - Classic Collection are not 100% scratch resistant.
which product do sell that you would recommend to drive a car on and off on a daily basis?
Dave B.
You may use our Stone Flex Tiles for this purpose. Another great product would be the Coin Flex Nitro Tiles. We have a great collection of garage flooring, please check the garage flooring category on our website for more products.
