Diamond Flex Nitro Tiles Reviews

Did extensive review on Floor Coatings and Floor Coverings. I have a car condo that has a two car hoist. Wanted something that would not scratch, easy to stand on, east to repair, looks good and if I get tired of I could change it. Last was cost. I installed this Floor covering. Easy to install, got to design my own floor and was able to install it myself giving me some self satisfaction of creating my own space. The tiles are actually 20”x 20” when installed not what they show which includes the tabs. That threw off my pre-meaurments. Make sure you start with your center line so the tiles come out even. Direct sunlight will soften the tiles and expand, so caution if you have lots of windows or direct sun heat. When we moved hoist (which was heavy), the titles bunched and moved. We just punched them back down and good to go. Lots of compliments on the floor. Make sure you order additional tiles for future replacement as colors could change.

I tried to post this on your FB page following the link you sent me for the $50 photo contest. I used the Nitro Flex diamond in light gray and black. Everything was super easy from designing the project with your online tools, delivery and installation We love the look and our new garage floor Thanks GFI!

These tiles are amazing and complete the room I was making for my wife's dream coke a cola kitchen I would buy again and have gonna do the dining room soon with more tiles!!

Well I ordered samples first, I'm so glad I did. As soon as I got thg them I knew I was going to use this flooring. This stuff is tuff and durable. I floated my floor first because it was a complete mess. The day the floor got to my house I felt like a kid at Christmas. I installed the floor by myself and it was the easiest installation I have ever done. This floor system is so easy to install. I told all my friends about it. I really have nothing negative to say about it. I had no problems installing it. And it looks amazing. Thanks again for the samples.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Nice tight fit with Zero gaps and easy to clean. Looks Perfect in Blue and Black With my Elkhart Blue 2019 Grand Sport,

I spent months researching tile versus epoxy flooring for my car condo. Finally settled on the Flex tiles. They don't explain the difference between the Nitro and Dimond tiles. The Nitro locking tabs are hidden while the Diamond are visible. This is big for appearance so I did not want to see the tabs, so I went with Nitro. The web site shows the tiles to be 20.5″ per tile, however, that includes the interlocking tabs. When you install, the tiles are only 20″ tiles. I had a 30x30 garage and the configurator tool on this site, said that I would have a 30.9'x 30.9' configuration with the tiles. When I installed them, I was expecting a 9' overage to cut and fit, however, I ended up about 1″ short. The tiles for most part fit great, some tiles were a little difficult to get to snap together. There is a color difference between some tiles as well, but not enough to make it look bad. Due to the 1″ short, there are no ″end caps″ for a finished look, only the rubber ramp strips. My 1″ shortage was on the side and top of my garage, so I have the tabs showing until I can figure out something to cover them. Also if you have a large area, make sure you start in the middle and create your dead center tile strip first and measure from each wall to the middle as you add tiles. Make sure you spot check from the walls to the tiles to endure you stay on line. Then create the cross piece from the top and bottom walls. That way you have your tiles started on the right path and not crooked. Only had the tiles down for a few days but they look awesome

I could not find this product in Canada but decided I liked it enough to purchase it once I had received some samples, despite how much more I'd pay due to our lousy exchange rate in Canada. I installed this product late in the fall of 2020. Installation was very easy. They looked great and I received many compliments on this floor. Instead of the transition ramp at the opening of the garage, it would be nice if they could make a Side Edge similar to what is available for the Diamond/Coin Flex Tile. It would be a better transition look-wise and water (from the snow in the winter) would not be pooling there. These tiles held up great during the fall and winter, however, the situation drastically changed now that the temperature has warmed up. The tiles are buckling in 5 different areas. I did leave enough room along the edges for expansion, but this does not seem to make a difference since I have tool cabinets and a few other heavy other items in the garage. I was estatic for the first few months when I had these tiles, but now with the warmer weather, this has turned into disappointment. Waiting to see how the hot, humid temperatures of the summer will impact these tiles.

I installed the tiles in my garage in the winter using grey, black and red (accent border) tiles. First thing I noticed was that the red tiles were slightly smaller than the others. By the time I got to the end of a 17' row the difference was about 1/8 of an inch. Not much, but pretty hard to snap these together when they don't line up. I actually had to bring the red tile inside my house to warm up and expand so I could complete the floor. Now, we recently had 1 ″warm″ day of 70 degrees and tiles are buckling due to expansion. The floor is floating, but I have a car, tool cart, cabinets, etc. on it. I did leave at least 1/2 inch gap along the edge, but with everything on the floor, it can't move that much. I am very afraid when we get into the summer to see how much buckling I get. This floor may have been a mistake. If the buckling doesn't get any worse in the hotter temps, I will revisit my rating, but I am not hopeful.

Attached is my picture for your contest

The tiles are very nice and look great. I think they will hold up very well. I installed these tiles with the floating floor method. No tape or glue. Tiles went together easy. I cut them with a table saw and fine tooth blade. Here is the problem. Once i finished installing the entire floor and moving everything back into the garage (worst part of this project), one sunny afternoon i opened the overhead door. The area of the floor that was in the path of the sunlight began to buckle. It buckled so much that the tile even came un-hooked from one another. Once i closed the door and let it sit overnight, the tiles went back down. The amount of expansion is terrible. It looks like i will have to un-install the entire floor and glue it down now. I wish the customer service rep would have told me this when i placed the order. Installing once would have been much better.

Why doesn't the company make a proper Side Edge for the Diamond Flex Nitro Tile as it does for the Diamond Flex Tile? The transition rubber floor ramp just doesn't cut it for functionality nor appearance. Water pools where the tile is inserted into the rubber ramp. Caulking it didn't help. Just made it look worse. A proper side edge specific to the Flex Nitro Tile would be nice.

One more photo for World Testing’s use of your flooring product. These we cut to fit and used double-sided tape to keep them in place. Let us know what you think of this and our other pictures.

This review is for the diamond flex nitro tiles. I was considering epoxy but am very happy with my decision to use the tiles. They are comfortable on the feet. Versatile enough to park on, workout on, or even have my kids play. The install was easy especially for the open middle. The edges are by far the most difficult to install because you will have to trim some pieces for a clean fit, and the material is tough. I used a pair of tin snips and it worked well; a utility knife was not strong enough. My floor has gotten wet a few times from rainy car rides then parking in the garage. The water easily wipes up and did not appear to get through the cracks. These things do not slide at all which is something I wondered before buying. I use a blower for quick clean up of dirt/dust. Overall I highly recommend these if you can afford them.

This was an easy install ...Best part was tiles were all dimensionally identical....No gaps Fits were perfect

The tiles are well made. They have one of the best locking systems I have seen. The end result looks amazing, BUT 1) They will stain, especially colors like light gray. Don't believe anyone if they tell you that Dawn detergent and some scrubbing will remove stains (certainly not tire components and road tar). I am NOT recommending this, but I used an engine degreaser and let the tiles sit in full sunlight for a few hours. I then power washed them. Not perfect but better than the dark stains. It may void the warranty, but once permanently stained, I had nothing to lose. I now put a sacrificial tile under each tire in order to protect the tiles underneath. 2) It would be nice if the locking system had an additional row mid section. That would save a lot of tile when doing sections where you only need a few inches of linear tile.

My husband and I put down an 11 x13 floor in less than an hour. I am 74 and he is on oxygen so if we can do it anyone can. They make our shed look fantastic, they are softer to walk on than the concrete. Only been down for less than 24 hours so I can't attest to how it will hold up but so far it is fantastic.

Easy to install and looks fantastic. I ran out of the product and needed 10 more tiles to complete the job and you guys quickly got the additional tiles really fast.

Decided on these instead of epoxy for cost savings, no garage down-time, and better look. Wife and I installed ourselves over 2 afternoons. Softening cut lines with hair-dryer allowed clean cuts with box-knife, as the weather was cold. Everyone who sees it wants to know where to get it!

Product went in very easily. 25 X 25 in 2 plus hours
