• Q: I have an outdoor utility area (air conditioning units, pool equipment, garbage cans, etc.) that has a rigid border. It is currently dirt. I am considering adding crushed stone for drainage. I would like to cover the stone or dirt with your Grip Lock tile product. Do you recommend the tile over the stone or the dirt? Also, what is the difference between Rugged Grip Lock and Vented Grip Lock, other than the thickness of the tile?

  A: We recommend placing our Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles over a flat surface such as concrete or asphalt, but these tiles can be placed over crushed stone or dirt as long as the surface is flat. When placed over these surfaces, during heavy rain events, the floor may become unstable, but during normal conditions, the tiles will perform as designed. The difference between the Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles and Vented Grip-Loc tiles are the colors and the surface venting pattern.

• Q: I want to put artificial turf in my balcony which is on second floor and concrete. Can I use this tile under the turf to get the proper drainage. I am really concerned that if I directly put the turf on concrete, it might clog some water during the rain. I am thinking of putting a layer of drainage tile on the concrete and then put a layer of turf on top of it. Please suggest if this can work?

  A: Our Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles would work perfect in this capacity. These tiles are vented allowing water to pass through and under them. This will ensure proper drainage on your patio.

• Q: Hello, I have a flat concrete roof (terrace) of about 5000 sf. If I stall silicon for the waterproofing, can I install these rubber tiles on top of the silicon application to be able to walk on? if so then do I need to cover silicon with any material in order to protect from the tile's texture in contact? Also we live in Florida with harsh direct sun and salt air. Would it sustain this weather? Thank you in advance for the response.

  A: We wouldn't recommend using these tiles over silicone since they may eventually cut through the silicone as they're made of hard plastic. Please see our Soft Flex Tiles.

• Q: Please explain the '5% overage"

  A: 5% overage is our recommended overage or "extra" product, to cover any mishaps customers may have during installation, so you won't have to order extra product later. It is always better to have a little extra, just in case.
