How much weight can these support if placed on concrete
We don't have a load rating for our Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles, but these tiles can withstand the weight of a car on them. They are made with the same materials used for the garage tiles.
Was this helpful?Would these work as flooring in a child’s playhouse? We plan to pour a concrete base for the playhouse but wanted to put something over top of the concrete that would be a little safer for the toddlers and something where the water would not lay on top of the concrete when it rains.
Although our Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles will work for this application, they are not our softest solution. For a softer tile please take a look at our Soft Flex Tiles as they will be better suited for your application.
Was this helpful?Are these tiles rugged and strong enough to be used to create a parking pad for my car next to my driveway? I understand I will need to take out the grass and put down a fabric barrier and cover that with sand or crushed gravel to create a firm base.
You can install our Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles over grass. When placed over grass, the tiles may sink into the soil when the soil is wet. The tiles will hold up to a car being parked and driven over them. They are made from the same material as all of our hard plastic garage tiles.
Was this helpful?Can we use these tiles on top of grass?
Yes, our Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles can be installed over the grass.
Was this helpful?what inter-locking floor tile is softest on bare-feet?
The Soft Flex Tiles are recommended for the softest feel underfoot. They are constructed of a durable blend of flexible PVC.
Was this helpful?How do you keep them from moving ? Is there edging or anchors?
The back of the tiles has anchors that should hold it in place. Typically the weight of the interlocked tiles will prevent them from moving, but it may be a good idea to adhere the tiles on the sides to the subfloor with a heavy-duty double-sided tape just to be safe.
Was this helpful?Can these be used on rubber membrane roofs like your other tiles?
We do not recommend installing these tiles over the rubber membrane. We would recommend our Soft Flex Tiles for this purpose.
Was this helpful?If I was to place the tiles on a front concrete porch with just a small stoop over it, would I need to glue them down? Would they blow away if there was or wasn't any trim around the edge or glued down?
Using an adhesive is optional. You may simply install these tiles without the glue, and the weight of the tiles will help them stay in place. However, if you see them move too much, using a pressure-sensitive adhesive will help them stay in place.
Was this helpful?Do you have edgers to match the graphite rugged gridlock tiles?
You may use the "gray" edges that are available for purchase on the product page, listed under "Accessories".
Was this helpful?We received samples of the rugged grip lock tile and an edge. When they are connected and placed on a flat surface, the tile and edge are not the same height; the tile sits higher than the edge. Anyone have this issue of the edging not being flush with the tile once they are installed?
There should not be much difference in the height of the tile and the edge. Please call us so we can help you with your issue.
Was this helpful?Can these be use on a roof ?
Yes, as long as it's a concrete/hard surface roof and not rubber.
Was this helpful?Are the tiles flexible? I would like them to lay on a fiberglass rooftop and have concerns about the fiberglass being scratched by the tiles underneath.
We do not recommend using these tiles over fiberglass since the backing may scratch the floor underneath.
Was this helpful?The people who built our house continued ceramic tile outside, and it gets extremely slippery in the rain. Could the rubber tiles be installed on top? The surface is completely flat. Is it difficult to clean? We have chickens, dogs and a cat that use the patio.
Yes, these tiles can be installed on top of the ceramic tiles, as long as you don't have wide grout lines and the surface is flat. To clean, you may simply hose down these tiles with water. However, since these tiles have openings on the top, some matter may seep through the openings onto the tiles underneath. In this case, these tiles can be easily picked up and the floor underneath can be cleaned if needed.
Was this helpful?I'm looking for flooring in an occasionally wet basement concrete floor. I am an artist and would be spending time standing on this material. Does it provide any cushioning? I'm sure it would be more comfortable than concrete in the winter. Please advise. Thanks.
These tiles are made of hard plastic and would work great on the concrete floor, but maybe hard on feet. You may use our Shock Pad underneath these tiles for an extra cushion.
Was this helpful?I am considering this for a 5x12 balcony over a busy street. Both ends and the middle would be weighted with furniture. Is there any possibility of the tiles unlocking and flying into the street during high winds?
The possibility is extremely low since once interlocked, the weight of these tiles will keep them in place. If in doubt, you may use double-sided tape along the perimeter of the tiles to adhere them to the subfloor for extra safety.
Was this helpful?Can these be used as a outside subfloor under pavers?
Yes, these tiles can be used as subfloors.
Was this helpful?Can this be installed over a rubber membrane roof?
We do not recommend installing these tiles over the rubber membrane. Please use our Soft Flex Tiles for this purpose.
Was this helpful?Do you have an edging for the Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles, when they have been cut down for sizing?
We do carry edging for these tiles but they may not fit the tiles once cut if the tiles lose the loops that are needed to attach the tiles to the edges.
Was this helpful?If I put these over a treated wood deck, do I still have to seal the deck periodically?
Sealing the deck periodically isn't required, but recommended to be sure that your wood deck doesn't get damaged with the water seeping on to the wood deck through the Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles.
Was this helpful?Would these be good to use as a greenhouse floor
Yes, these tiles can be used as a greenhouse floor.
