Was this helpful?I'd like to put Diamond Nitro rolls on a 2-1/2car garage, but concerned about the possible seams seeping water underneath the rolls. Would that be a breeding ground for mold or any other issue that may cause?

Was this helpful?Have a concrete garage that is crumbly and dusty and unable to get concrete dust out. Not completely flat, can this be put on this type of surface? Will nitro rolls work?

Was this helpful?I'm looking to cover a cement floor in a laundry room and entry hallway. Summer humidity causes the cement floor to sweat. Would this product work in this situation? Thanks!
Our Diamond Nitro Rolls can be installed over a concrete floor. These rolls are non-porous, so if your concrete sweats, the moisture will get trapped under the rolls. We would recommend sealing your concrete to keep this from happening, but if you don't, it won't affect the flooring in any way. We would just recommend lifting the rolls from time to time to dry and clean them as the salts from the concrete will collect under the rolls. It will look white, but it is not mold, it's just salt.
Was this helpful?Is it safe for children and animals? Can I use it in living areas?
Our Diamond Nitro Rolls are safe and can be used in areas where pets or children play. These rolls are tested on a regular basis. To obtain the testing for these garage rolls, please feel free to reach out to one our Flooring Heroes via chat, email, or phone.
Was this helpful?Can the Diamond Nitro rolls be top coated with a gloss polymer or other coating to make it shiny?
To add shine to our Diamond Nitro Rolls, we recommend using our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer. This product is a wax based sealer and can be easily removed with our Rubber Floor Cleaner and Degreaser and reapplied as needed.
Was this helpful?I have a basement that tends to get wet with heavy rain in certain areas. It oozes calcium out of the concrete and looks terrible. I would like to cover this over but don't like the vinyl oder some vinyls have. Would this material be suitable?
Our Diamond Nitro Rolls do have a very slight odor, but it is not very noticeable. If the smell does bother you, we recommend mopping the flooring with a mild soap and water solution and letting it air dry. You can place this over your concrete basement floor, but do know that this will not fix your issue and the calcium will attach to the bottom of the roll. You can clean this off easily with cleaners that can be bought at your local department store.
Was this helpful?I have an 11'x10' outdoor shed. I have a cement slab and was wondering if I need any adhesives or double-sided tape to keep the flooring from slipping or moving?
For most installations, you can install our Diamond Nitro Rolls without glue or tape, and we recommend that. The material is heavy enough to stay down on its own. If there were movement for any reason, typically double-sided tape is all that is needed. If that still doesn't work, you can then upgrade to a pressure sensitive adhesive.
