I'm prepping to tile my garage floor and requested a handful of samples. I got some flow-through Racedeck and some flow-through Truelock HD and be damned if I can tell the difference between them other than the Racedeck being more expensive. Are these the same tile? Was there a goof and I got samples of the same product labeled differently? What am I missing here, folks? Is there a difference I'm not seeing and if there is, is Racedeck worth the extra coin? Thanks!
Truelock is Racedeck?

I know nothing about tiles, but I even found this on Garage Flooring's site...
"Our flow through tile is manufactured by the leading brand to the same exact specs and quality as their national brand."

TrueLock is my brand. TrueLock HD refers to a specific set of tiles that are manufactured for me. TrueLock Diamond (no HD) is made elsewhere and that is obvious. TrueLock PVC is yet another plant.
Looking at the ribbed tiles one might make certain assumptions and I am definitely not going to argue with them. That said, legally, I can't say who makes the product
I will say that the coin and diamond don't match up exactly to the national brand. The ribbed certainly 'appears to'

Interesting. Do you offer a GarageJournal discount similar to the undisclosed national brand?

Can someone clarify the secrecy talk... Is Truelock HD the same as Racedeck?

Truelock is not RaceDeck!...and only RaceDeck® brand is RaceDeck. We do manufacture other styles/spec floors for many other companies and brands around the world.
The RaceDeck DiamondTread and CircleTrac are exclusive to RaceDeck with patent locking system, understructure and design that are exclusive to RaceDeck

From the sounds of it you are getting Loperamide instead of Imodium and Acetaminophen instead of Tylenol.

The Truelock HD Diamond and the Truelock HD Coin ARE NOT the same in any way to the RaceDeck Diamondtread or the RaceDeck CircleTrac, other than being square. The locks are different, the understructure is very different, the top design is different, it's lighter weight and thickness are different.

I am pretty sure that Jorgen and I have both been very clear that HD Coin and HD Diamond do not match up
To RaceDeck
My comment to call me was not meant to sound like I would say otherwise. Threads like this can really be problematic in the Provate label world. Sometimes a phone call is just more appropriate. The good news is we have both TrueLock HD and RacrDeck and we are happy to send free samples so you can see the differences.
Yikes! I didn't mean for this to get inflammatory, sorry guys. Just wondering. There is a price gap on the tiles and just from observation on the samples I ordered I wanted to verify what I was getting. I guess I'll contact Justin directly with further questions. Winter is a-coming up here in the northern plains and I may want those free flow tiles sooner rather than later!
