Was this helpful?I want to know if any of your floor tiles would not be affected by the sun from buckling. I live in Florida, and I get sun from 2 PM till sunset, and I am worried about the floor buckling from the sun.
Our Vented Grid-Loc Tiles will not buckle to do disparate heat within your garage. Since these tiles are vented, there is less material for the sun to heat up. Also, those vents help keep the material from heating up as quickly as a solid tile. Vented tiles are our recommendation for East, South, or West-facing garages.

We would recommend a solid construction tile, unlike our vented products.
Was this helpful?Can you use floor jacks on top of this?
For our plastic tiles, we typically don't recommend using jack stands as well since they will typically damage the tile. You can add a piece of metal or plywood sheet under the jack stand to help diffuse some of the pressure brought on by the jack stand.

Was this helpful?Will this work on rocky and uneven ground?
We recommend installing our Vented Grid-Loc Tiles over a hard flat surface like concrete or asphalt. We don't recommend installing this over rocky, uneven ground as the tiles will not interlock properly. We do have other products that can be installed over this surface. You can find these products on our Events Flooring page under ground protection.
Was this helpful?Can these be used on a roof in NY? Our drains get clogged with debris all the time; we want to cover up the area to prevent this from happening, and to keep the drains open. Will they be ok in extreme wheater?
Our Vented Grid-Loc Tiles are not rubber roof approved, but they can be used as flooring on a rooftop. These tiles are UV stable and would be able to withstand the elements well. Since they are vented, they would allow your roof to drain properly. If you do have a rubber roof and are afraid it will get damaged, we recommend placing plywood down under the tiles to protect the rubber membrane below.
Was this helpful?Will these tiles interlock with other tiles. I would like to have the vented tiles under the car but other tiles to the walls.
Our Vented Grid-Loc Tiles will interlock all of our other types of Grid-Loc Tiles. We offer the Grid-Loc tiles in both a Diamond and Coin pattern.
Was this helpful?Can you put the Vented Grid-Loc Tiles inside/on top the Deluxe Auto Floor Guard and how well will they fit/perform?
You can install our Vented Grid-Loc Tiles on top of our Auto Floor Guard mats. They will perform the same as they would over any other flat hard surface. If you want to install the tiles over the mat, we would recommend removing the foam barrier as this may prevent the tiles from interlocking properly.
Was this helpful?How do the vented Grid-Loc Tiles feel when walking over without shoes on, does it hurt at all?
Our Vented Grid-Loc Tiles are made of hard plastic and would be a little uncomfortable to walk on if you were to walk on them barefoot.
Was this helpful?Can this be used in an open driveway?
You can use our Vented Grid-Loc Tiles in an open driveway. These tiles are very easy to install and maintain and are very durable being able to withstand the daily grind of a car being driven over them constantly. The only issues that you will run into are that these tiles are not very UV stable, so they may fade a bit in direct sunlight. With them being exposed to the elements, they will expand and contract more than if they were in a more controlled environment. Other than that, these tiles are great for this use.
Was this helpful?Would these tiles be recommended for an outdoor basketball court that will be driven and parked on when not being used for basketball? Meaning, is it paintable and will it be slip-resistant?
Our Vented Grid-Loc Tiles can be used as an outdoor basketball court and can be driven over. These tiles were made for use in garages, but are made from the same material court flooring for sports is. You can paint lines on these tiles, and they are very easy to install and maintain.
