Diamond Flex Garage Floor Tiles – Interlocking Design (23.35 sqft/Case)

The Diamond Flex Tiles diamond plate design is one of the best floor tile patterns available and our most popular pattern for use as garage flooring. It not only has a tough appearance for use in heavy-duty commercial/industrial/ workshop settings, but it also provides for a non-slip surface in case the flooring is spilled on and/or gets wet by water, oil, or other liquids. Cutting of these tiles to custom fit them into your room can be easily done with a fresh utility knife and straight-edge like a yardstick or ruler.

Installation Instructions for Diamond Flex Tiles

Preparation

1. Surface Cleaning:
   • Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and free of debris, grease, oil, and other contaminants.
2. Subfloor Suitability:
   • Suitable for installation over concrete, wood, or any hard, flat surface.
3. Acclimatization:
   • Allow the Flex Nitro Tiles to acclimate in the installation area for at least 24 hours at room temperature.

Installation

1. Planning Layout:
   • Lay out the tiles in the desired pattern before snapping them together to ensure you are satisfied with the design.
   • Plan your pattern ahead of time, especially if using multiple colors, to avoid mistakes.
2. Connecting Tiles:
   • Begin installation from one corner of the room and work your way out.
   • Align the tiles so that the tabs of one tile fit into the loops of the next tile.
   • Gently press down until you hear a click, indicating the tiles are locked together.
3. Cutting to Fit:
   • Trim the tiles to fit around edges and corners using a utility knife with a sharp blade and a straight edge.
   • Leave a small gap (approximately 1/4 inch) around the edges to allow for expansion and contraction.
4. Securing the Tiles:
   • For smaller areas, the weight of the tiles may be sufficient to keep them in place.
   • For larger areas or high-traffic zones, use double-sided tape or adhesive around the perimeter and seams for extra stability.
   • Apply the adhesive according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Post-Installation

1. Rolling:
   • Use a floor roller to ensure the tiles adhere properly and to remove any air bubbles.
2. Initial Cleaning:
   • After installation, clean the floor with a mild soap and water solution to remove any installation debris.
3. Inspection:
   • Inspect the installation to ensure all edges are secure and seams are properly sealed.
