• Q: I am in Arizona, how does your garage tiles hold up to extreme heat? Will my vehicle's tires stick to tiles?

  A: Our Diamond Flex Tiles have been installed all over the country from the coldest parts of the North Dakota to the hottest parts here in Arizona. These tiles hold up very well in all climate types and will not get brittle in extreme cold or melt in extreme heat. These tiles are made from the same material that your water pipes in your home are made of, PVC. In extreme heat, your tires will not stick to the tiles. These tiles are made to expand and contract with the outside temperature. So, in extreme heat situations, your tiles will expand a bit. In extreme cold, they will contract.

• Q: my garage floor is 70 yrs old and is uneven withbsmall ridges and divets. Does that effect your product much? The sample you send out how big is it so i coukd lay it in some of the worst area and see how it lays?

  A: The sample size is small, not large enough to review over uneven subfloor. We'd recommend purchasing a full tile for a better indication of how the tile would lay on your floor. We would always recommend leveling out the concrete for best results.

• Q: Can I put this flooring over electric radiant heat?

  A: You can install our Diamond Flex Tiles over a radiant heat floor. These tiles will not melt when installed over this type of system. When these tiles are installed over this type of system, you more than likely not get the full benefits of it as these tiles are non-porous and will keep most of the heat from transferring to the surface.

• Q: I live in the Northeast. How do the Flex Tiles hold up during winter with road salt dripping from the car? Does the salt affect the tiles? Which tile might be the best option to withstand winter salt and chemicals used on roads.

  A: Salt and other road products will not affect our Diamond Flex Tiles. These tiles are resistant to most household and vehicle chemicals and are also resistant to most road additives. There are only two things that will affect these tiles. Tar can stain these tiles, but that can be cleaned off the tiles with a product called Purple Power. The other thing that can affect the tiles is high-performance tires. The only solution to fix the staining from these tires is to get black tiles in the area where the car will be parked.
