Why are these for inside use only? I want to use them on my balcony over a rainwater drain so that I can place a plastic storage unit on top to allow for drainage.
We recommend our Raised Grip-Loc Tiles for indoor use because they are not UV stable so, they will fade in direct sunlight. You can use these outdoors but know; they will fade.
Was this helpful?For use in shower, are the Raised or Designer Grip-Loc tiles more comfortable to walk and stand on? How flexible are each of these? Are they a soft or firm plastic?
The Designer Grip-Loc Tiles would be more comfortable to stand on in a shower. The Raised Grip-Loc Tiles have a raised pattern on the top that may not be as comfortable underfoot. These tiles are very flexible as they are made from a soft EVA plastic. You can cut and fit these tiles to any desired shape easily with a sharp utility knife and a straight edge.

Was this helpful?Other than the color dye fading, could these tiles hold up to long-term sunlight exposure? The EVA material seems (according to various other websites) to be UV resistant, and your own Grip-Loc tiles (also made from EVA) are recommended for outdoor use. I particularly want the raised texture for traction underfoot in my sailboat cockpit. If I don't mind the cosmetic degradation, could this product be suitable? Thanks.
Our Raised Grip-Loc Tiles are recommended for indoor use, but you can use them outdoors. Some EVA products feature a UV-resistance chemical that helps them keep their color in direct sunlight over time. Our Raised Grip-Loc Tiles are not treated with this and thus will fade over time in direct sunlight. Other than that, these tiles will perform exceptionally outdoors.

Was this helpful?Can the raised grip-loc tiles be used on a silver tar rooftop?
You can use our Raised Grip-Loc Tiles outdoors on a tar rooftop as these are made from EVA, which is a softer plastic and will not damage the roofing surface. These tiles are not UV stable and have the potential to fade over time. Also, since they are made from a softer plastic, they will expand and contract a greater rate than our harder plastic tiles. Other than that, these tiles would work excellently and are very easy to clean and maintain. Also, they are more comfortable underfoot than our hard plastic tiles.
Was this helpful?I understand they will fade outdoors in the sun -- but will they become brittle and break or crack?
Our Raised Grip-Loc Tiles will not become brittle, break or crack when left outdoors in the elements. They are very durable and will withstand all that Mother Nature can throw at them. The only thing you will notice is that they will fade a bit.

You can install our Raised Grip-Loc Tiles over low plush commercial carpet with ease, but over plush carpet, these tiles may not perform as well. This is because when the pad under the plush carpet gets depressed, the tiles could separate creating a potential tripping hazard.
