Great look!
I love this tile! I bought the tiles to spruce up the balcony at my apt where I cannot put down anything permanent. It's perfect so far. I live I rainy Florida, so I will check periodically for any mold underneath. Since my balcony is fenced so to speak, I did not find a need for the clips, but they will slip if you don't have defined boundaries. They cut ok with the little hand saw I had, but I would rather have had something electric. I added black beach pebbles to fill in around them. Can't seem to get the pic to upload right side up.

Easy DIY transformation
We got these tiles to put on our screen-enclosed cement slab patio. They were easy to install and in a few hours our patio was transformed into a classy, welcoming space. It's comfortable underfoot, and the tiles also help absorb sound. We opted to use more clips than the instructions call for -- we attached every tile together, not just the perimeter. Some reviewers complained about the tiles not fitting well together, but by using more clips we had no problem and no complaints.

18 IN. X 18 IN. FLAGSTONE EARTH RUBBER PAVER
The tiles vary in size. They also expand and contract at different rates, so to keep them in place I used the clips with construction adhesive and that seems to hold them in place.

Very pleased with the outcome
These pavers replaced a worn-out indoor-outdoor carpet in our home entryway. They were easy to install (requires a jig saw for cutting; the "sharpie" knife won't work) and now when it rains we don't have to rearrange everything to let the carpet dry. My only reservation is that the installation clips create a slight rise in the corners of the pavers and I've taken the clips out around the edges to flatten the borders. Will probably take the rest out next summer. The clips were somewhat helpful in alignment but perhaps not necessary at all. I used a piece of plastic quarter-round to finish off the front border where the entryway meets a paver walkway. Very pleased with the result and would highly recommend.

Terrible
The clips will not work on these tiles and I am not cutting new slots for the clips. Cutting 60 tiles x 8 clips per tile...NO, not happening. Plus, the 8 tiles I managed to partially clip, came apart by merely walking on them. If a person is lucky enough to tap a tile onto a clip, it doesn't lock on but comes apart easily. I like the look of these and the concept, however, I am returning them. I am rather disgusted with myself for wasting an entire day on these.

Poor quality
Tile size varies wildly. Many slots are too far from edge to fasten. Installation is a nightmare - not at all as easy as depicted in the "how to" video.

Quality Control was Terrible
I installed these over a 12 x 32 covered deck. The finished product looked pretty good but the quality control of this product was terrible. I would like to see an “Undercover Boss” type installation of this product. The installation videos are misleading. Problems with tiles; • There are 8 groves in the bottom of each tile where the clips that interconnect the tiles go. Each grove should be about 1 1/8 inch from the edge for proper installation. The problem was that on close to 50% of the tiles there was one grove that was 1 ½ inch from the edge. To use the clips, as recommended but the manufacture, I had to cut the grove back to the 1 1/8 inch spacing. This was very time consuming and expensive in that I had a carpenter helping – a one day job became a two day job. • The manufacture recommends 8 clips per tile when you use their calculator; however, once you get the clips there is a card in the package that has an alternate installation of only using clips on outer perimeter. I had ordered and received the number of clips recommended by their calculator and wanted to install properly so I was trying to clip all tiles. • Some tiles were not square and were a different size, not exactly 18 x 18 inches. This was only a minor problem since these tiles could be used where cutting was required. Would I recommend this to others? Only for small projects or those prepared to modify most of the tiles to get them into specification i.e. uniform grove spacing.

Not square or the size stated
The size of the tiles was not the 18" squares as stated. they were anywhere from 17 3/4" to 17 7/8". Unfortunately, that made placing the tiles difficult, or impossible, to match the seams. Many of the tiles were not even square. With a patio area of 7.5' X 33' the differences in the tiles was exaggerated by the end of the patio. Even the thickness of some of the tiles was variable.

Good Looking produce
The tiles really gave my patio a lift after they were down, it is surely a wonderful buy, and the nice thing is you just lay it over concrete, how easy is that.

Looks good but installation was trickey.
Bought this product in the earth tone to cover a deck that had seen it's better days. As I started to lay the tiles down and apply the clips as recommended I ran into a problem right off the bat. The tiles didn't seems to fit the clips. The holes on the bottom of the tiles for the clips were cut to far from the edge so the clips didn't reach. I tried several different tiles and several different ways to lay the tiles but when it was all said and done they just didn't fit. I ordered 56 tiles and wasn't going to haul them back to the store so I just laid them down with no clips. I guess I will see how that works. They look great just don't know if they will stay in place. Have my fingers crossed.

Installed 80 of these today!
The installation was actually pretty easy. We used about 6 connectors on each tile even though the connector package only called for using them along the perimeter. Most of tiles fit in very well but a few weren't quite square and we had to put them in a different section of the porch to fit better. We found it worked best for me to sit on the floor and place the connectors and line up the tile and then my husband stood on the tile to pop it in place on the connector...helped to save our hands and knees from being so sore! Installed them outside but would love put them in our unfinished basement too.

    Very Pleased!
    I used these pavers on my dirt driveway because I urgently needed to lay somethng down other than cement since I don't like cement. Everyone who sees them loves how they look and they're not even laid down on level ground! I laid them down on weed blocker and I can just pick them up again, spread some gravel, level and re-lay them. They are durable and look good. I'm very pleased.

      Great Exterior Flooring Option
      I was looking for something to use under my BBQ and I took a look at all the different BBQ mats out there and they were all pretty ugly. I put these under and they look great. The only thing I wish is that the color would be throughout the product. It's only skin deep.

      Wanted something soft to stand on getting out of my car in my driveway. Did not want stones or pavers.
      The driveway is narow and did not want to get out of my car and always walk on the grass. This would have eventually killed the grass in that area. Wanted something soft but something that looks like stepping stones. Did not want pavers or rocks or mulch.

      My front porch!
      decided to use the flagstone envirtile to cover my porch. Just laid temporarily until get some concrete work done, but really impressed with the product. Not sure about cutting areas to fit yet, but sure it will work out fine also. House is cedar, and this earth tone tile will look great when laid permanently!

      Delivering product from other store = disaster.
      Nice product, easy to install. Cutting was the hardest part but a sharper razor knife does wonders!

      Excellent product. And xcellent price.
      These recycled rubber patio tiles look amazing. They are easy to install - no professional help needed, but the patio looks prefessional. I just installed them in the fall of 2011, so I cannot say anything about their wearabliity. If it is anything like my recylced rubber stepping stones, they willlast years and years.

      Great Looking and easy to use
      I put these in a section of my yard right outside my screened in patio where we have not been able to get grass to grow in order to have a nice looking and useful area as well as prevent from tracking mud into the house. It was not cheap; but it looks nicer and is probably cheaper than pouring concrete and is definitely cheaper and easier than using "pavers". I have only had them down for a couple weeks so I don't know for sure how they will hold up over time; but they seem to be a quality product.

      Easy to install and fast
      Found we did not need the clips, used a few screws to hold down the edges. Looks good and seems to be doing the job.

      Nice product
      The tiles are very nice to look at as my walk path. I think they will be durable as they are made from recycled tires. They may perhaps be a little overpriced considering the readily accessible supply of material. I just purchased the product, so, I'll have review it again at a later time.

      These flagstones are great!!!
      We have put them together as a barbeque patio. They fit together nicely and stay where they are put. I'm sure they will last as long as the house

      Patio looks great!
      We covered an 18' x 18' raised concrete patio with Flagstone Earth tiles. We put a 1" x 8" board around the exposed 3 sides and set it about an inch above to form a barrier to keep the tiles in place. We started in the most used corner and did most of the first row on each side first, going back to the corner and continuing from there. Although we had a border, we used the clips on each tile as it went down to help line up the tiles. As I had read in previous reviews, the tiles are not consistent in size and many varied by 1/4". Corners do not meet squarely, but we feel we can live with that. After we had 6 or so rows done then we would go back and remove the clips from the middle rows (all accept the two outside rows). This was to cut down on the cost of the clips, since we had a border to contain the tiles. Cutting the tiles was difficult. We tried a jigsaw as recommended by the manufacturer, but found that it did not work very well. We ended up using a box cutter (also recommended) and found it very labor intensive, but it worked. So far we are pleased with the end product, but we are concerned about keeping it clean and wondering how much of a problem the groves in the pattern will be. Our leaf blower works great for dry stuff, but we have dogs and only time will tell how we will keep it clean in wet and muddy weather.We will probably use a power washer.

      Very Inconsistent Product
      The product was very inconsistent. Some tiles were thicker than others. Some were not square. Several were not stamped at all. If you decide to use this product, make sure you order enough to return approx. 10 percent.

      Overall, it seems to serve the purpose intended and does look nice
      I used this product on an upper deck that was above a lower deck/landing for the purpose of keeping rain water off the lower deck and to make the upper deck more inviting. I first placed a 6 mil plastic sheet down prior to installing the envirotile. It went in fairly easily, except there is a slight difference between tile sizes so that there is not an exact fit across both directions, although it is close. As well, the tiles do not measure 18 inches square, but slightly under. I had expected it to fit exactly inside the 12 foot by 12 foot area between the railing, but it was a few inches short. As prescribed, I used the clips on the outside perimeter of the square to tie it together. Unfortunately, on top of the plastic it tends to slip around. I wil either use additional clips across the middle sections or put screws in the outside perimeter to keep all in place. I do not think this slipage problem would if applied to the bare deck wood. Overall, it seems to serve the purpose intended and does look nice.
