Can these tiles be installed on a concrete garage that has in floor heat?
You can install our Diamond Grid-Loc Tiles over concrete that has a floor heat system in it. The heat from the system will not melt the tiles. Since our Diamond Grid-Loc Tiles are non-porous, you may not get the full effect of having the system, but you will get some since these tiles do have some gapping between the tiles.

Was this helpful?The ground in my area of Florida stays moist and my garage concrete brings up moisture very easily. In fact if I leave any kind of solid plastic such as a plastic container or a gas can on the concrete, it will have a thin sheet of water underneath it when I lift it off and when it dries it leaves a water stain. Do I need to seal the floor first before I put your product over it or will your tiles allow it to breathe without any concern for trapping moisture under the tiles? Thanks for your help.
You will not have to seal your concrete floor if you install our Diamond Grid-Loc Tiles. When installed, these tiles have a gap that allows for any moisture to travel up or down through the floor to either a drain or out of your garage. Some moisture may still get trapped if coming up from the garage, and some sweating may also be present. This is not harmful to the tiles, and with the diamond pattern will not create a slip hazard. If the moisture is still a huge, you can pull up the flooring and seal your concrete floor to ensure no moisture comes up.
