Was this helpful?Can this item be stacked on a second layer of these tiles if needed to raise the floor?
You can stack our Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles on top of each other, but we would recommend placing a piece of plywood between the two floors to keep the stability of the floor intact.
Was this helpful?Do you have them in black
We do not offer the Rugged Grip Loc tiles black. However, if that's the color you specifically want, you may consider the Smooth Grip-Loc tiles or the Designer grip-loc tiles.

Was this helpful?How do these do in cold temps? Because there are holes in them, do they get icy?
Our Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles are perfect for outdoor use in all temperatures. They will not become brittle or crack or anything even in very cold weather. The holes in the tile allow for water to drain instead of a puddle which actually helps prevent ice! Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles also have tiny nodules along the top for added slip resistance.

Was this helpful?How would these tiles do on a concrete pad for an outdoor baseball batting cage? Would there be a concern with baseball cleats? Also, this area floods from time to time. Should we glue down the tiles and how would they hold up to the occasional flooding?
The use of cleats on them would not damage our Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles. You may see some surface scratches, but the cleats themselves will not damage the tiles themselves. You don't need to glue the tiles down, as they are vented and will allow the water to flow through and under the floor. If the water overcomes the whole area, the tiles won't really move as the water will still be able to move freely through the flooring.
Was this helpful?I have been watching videos on how to install your product! I noticed on one of them that they placed what looks like an underlayment on the garage floor first then added the tile. Is that something you sell or would recommend doing? I live in the northeast! Thanks!
You can add an underlay under our Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles. The underlayment we sell and recommend is a rubber underlayment, and it is called our ShockPad. You can find this on our underlayment page or on the middle accessories page on this product.
Was this helpful?Could these tiles be stacked to create a thicker base to fill a shower floor and make it level with an outside deck to make this handicap accessible for a wheelchair to roll from outside the shower into the shower? Or would it be possible to build a window frame type structure under the tiles to create the height needed? Would that reduce the strength of the tiles?
You can stack out Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles on top of each other, but we would recommend placing a piece of plywood between the two floors to keep the stability of the floor intact. The tiles are made from durable polypropylene plastic and will not crack under the weight of traffic on the floor whether it is from feet or a wheelchair. These tiles are very easy to install as they are interlocking and can get removed and replaced if damaged. These tiles are also very slip resistant and are resistant to mold and mildew growth.

Was this helpful?Do these tiles interlock with each other? I would like to use them under a dog kennel. My daughters dog is chewing up the carpeting. I want to put these under the kennel to protect the carpeting from getting ruined. Thanks
Our Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles are an interlocking tile.
Was this helpful?Is the color of the "gray" edge piece the same as the "graphite" tile?
The Gray color is the same as the Graphite color on our Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles.
Was this helpful?Can this tiles be installed directly on the sand? Will the sand slip through the holes when weight is applied?
We recommend installing our Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles over a hard, flat surface such as concrete, asphalt, or wood decking. If you place these over sand, they may not stay interlocked very well, and the sand would come through the vents in the tiles. Customers have installed these tiles over sand with success. So if you are ok with these inherent issues, these tiles will work perfectly for you.

Was this helpful?Can I put a swing set on these?
You can install a swing set over our Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles. These tiles are very durable and made from hard plastic with vents in it. This helps to make these tiles very slip resistant when wet. These tiles are also able to withstand a lot of weight. They are made from the same material as our standard garage tiles, so the weight of a swing set wouldn't be an issue.
Was this helpful?Can these tiles be installed on top of an EPDM rooftop? The roof is our deck, and I need a flooring. Any suggestions? Thanks
We do not recommend using our Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles over an EPDM roof. These tiles are a hard plastic and would create holes in the roof. We recommend going with one our softer plastic Grip-Loc Tiles. Those would be our Smooth Grip-Loc, Raised Grip-Loc and Designer Grip-Loc Tiles.

Our Rugged Grip-Loc Tiles will get warm in direct sunlight but will be cooler than concrete. To keep these tiles cool, we recommend spraying them water. Since these tiles are vented, they will still be slip resistant unlike concrete when wet.
