Can you install these on uneven surfaces?
Since these tiles are only 12" x 12" and are hard plastic, installing them on an uneven surface may cause some installation issues. You may get some buckling at the point of unevenness, or the tiles may not interlock properly or at all. We would recommend using something to try and level the subfloor before installing these deck tiles.
Was this helpful?I need a temporary deck and a way to protect the grass, will this protect at least most of the grass under it?
Our Vented Grip-Loc Tiles will act as a barrier to protect the grass underneath it. Since these tiles are vented, the grass will still get ample sunlight and water. The only thing you will notice is that where the tiles impact the grass that there will be impressions of the tiles.
Was this helpful?Do these tiles get hot during the day? I'm looking to go around a pool and will def utilize these as long as they stay cool.
Our Vented Grip-Loc Tiles will get warm in the sun but will be cooler than concrete in the middle of the day. The colors offered do not get as hot as darker colored tiles. To keep these cool, just spray them down with water every so often during the summer. Since they are vented, they will still be very slip resistant even when wet.

Our Vented Grip-Loc Tiles would be safe to install under artificial turf for pets. These tiles are vented allowing for any liquid to pass through properly and will provide a solid base that will add support to your turf for you and your pets.

You can use our Vented Grip-Loc Tiles indoors and out. These tiles are made from a harder plastic, so they will not be as comfortable as our other Grip-Loc Tiles.
Was this helpful?How do you cut these tiles?
Cutting our Vented Grip-Loc Tiles is very easy. When you come up to a wall or object, don’t worry. Just measure the area and cut the tiles with a tile cutter or a power saw with a fine-toothed blade and put the trimmed tiles into place.

Was this helpful?How well do these stand up to bleach and cleaning?
The use of bleach will not damage our Vented Grip-Loc Tiles. These tiles are very durable and are resistant to most household and vehicle chemicals. These tiles are very easy to clean. The best method for removing debris from the tiles is to use a hose.
Was this helpful?Can these tiles be installed on a rooftop under artificial turf and stay outdoors during all seasons?
We don't recommend installing our Vented Grip-Loc Tiles over an EPDM roof since the tiles do have the potential to damage the roof, but people have used them on these types of roofs with much success. These tiles can be used outdoors all year long and are UV stable ensuring the color will not fade drastically in direct sunlight. Since they are vented, they will not impede the draining ability of the turf during rainstorms.
Was this helpful?I have a slate walkway and steps to my front door. Unfortunately, the walkway slopes slightly down to the first step. Despite drainage grates on either side, water still collects there and it can become very slippery. Would it work to install these tiles in that area?
Our Vented Grip-Loc Tiles can be installed on a sloped walkway to create a slip-resistant surface to walk on. These tiles are vented allowing water to flow through the floor, so water will on pool on top of the flooring surface.
