Questions & Answers
How do I cut it?
This product can be cut with a jig saw, circular saw or radial saw. Use a blade designed to cut sheet metal (a fine tooth blade). For cutting stainless steel or for cutting larger quantities, consider using a carbide-tipped fine tooth blade.
When does it ship?
All Base Molding MX® is made to order. We target 3-5 business day for manufacturing lead time based upon shop load. Please consider that you are buying direct from the factory - we are the manufacturer and we make all products to order. This is why it takes us a bit longer than the traditional online store which simply warehouse other manufacturer’s products. We also offer Rush Orders if you need your order fast. Call us for details 1.888.983.4327 (98.DGEAR)
Can I get it without the kick (aka cove)?
Yes, place your order by phone and specify such. Since we are the manufacturer we can generally accommodate this request at no additional charge.
Can I install it onto a curved wall?
Yes, however with the "kick" (aka cove) in place, the Base Molding MX® is somewhat rigid. It will flex slightly but not a lot. By omitting the "kick", the Base Molding MX® is very flexible and works great for going around curved walls. To order without the "kick", place your order by phone 1.888.983.4327 (98.DGEAR).
What is diamond plate?
Our diamond plate is absolutely, authentic, real commercial grade aluminum diamond plate. The same brilliant metal found on big rigs, NASCAR, fire trucks and other astonishingly cool objects and cool places. Not to be confused with imitation stamped metal that many of our competitors use. Our real diamond plate will not rust, rot, corrode or degrade.
How can I tell the difference between real diamond plate and the fake stuff?
The secret is on the backside of the metal. The diamonds on real diamond plate are forged from solid metal and therefore are perfectly solid when viewed from the back. Fake diamond plate is stamped from sheet metal producing diamonds that are hollow on the backside making the fake stuff weak, feeble and less desirable. Real diamond plate has a beautiful chrome like metallic luster. The fake stuff can fake the shine but can't fake the strength of real diamond plate. They say diamonds are a girl's best friend ... but who wants hollow diamonds?
What is brushed aluminum?
Our brushed aluminum is aircraft grade aluminum with a brushed finish applied to the surface giving the metal a beautifully sophisticated and soft luster. This refined appearance is similar to that of many stainless steel appliances found in today's homes.
Is diamond plate slippery?
Not at all. In fact it's quite the opposite. Diamond plate was originally created back in the 60s for tread purposes and therefore was originally called 'tread plate'. However, the tread plate looked so good, people started using it for all kinds of other things. Take a look at a big rig or an armed forces vehicle and you may notice diamond plate on its steps or walkways. This is to give the operators the best possible traction when the surfaces are wet or icy. The diamonds provide extra surface area for shoes to grab onto. You may be surprised when you walk across our diamond plate and find how much traction you feel, even with high heels.
Can I use diamond plate outdoors?
Absolutely. Our diamond plate will not rust, rot, corrode or degrade.

“Great job, 5 stars on the scale. Thanks for making the selection and ordering process easy. We ordered for a customer base trim that we was a new product for us to handle and install. The website was easy to navigate and customer service folks are accessible and helpful, and knowledgeable of products and manufacturing capabilities. We received, without asking, detailed and timely order update. I hope that we can use your products on upcoming jobs.”

“Thank you diamondLife! Definitely 5 stars! (I attached pics too :) We will definitely recommend you and your products especially since you are local to us! (from Youngstown area). Timely shipping, great packaging of product. We got the adhesive on them and it was very easy to install and stuck great! I am so happy to have found you and your products, however, just by doing web search for modern/metal baseboards, I could not find you. A lot more people are doing a modern look in their homes and it seems hard to be able to purchase these cool items anywhere, especially at a local store. If you could get it out more/better that would help. I only came across you because I was also looking at garage ideas.”

“Hi! We would rate diamondLife great! The website was easy to use. The product arrived timely. It is easy to install. You could maybe give better guidance on the amount of adhesive to buy. We bought too much! Thanks for everything, Our garage looks great!”
Patricia M. (Glenbeulah, WI)

“I would rate my recent purchase from your company a solid 5 stars. The reason has less to do with the product itself (which is great) than with your team's response, and Kerriann in particular, to a problem that we encountered. The problem was that we received the wrong parts on a portion of our order. The pre-formed corners that we ordered as brushed stainless steel came with the wrong finish. I called your customer service number to report the problem and spoke with Kerriann. She was extremely helpful and responsive and told me she would fix the problem asap. We received the correct parts a few days later. As I wrote to Kerriann, mistakes happen, but it's how she and her team dealt with it that sets diamondLife apart as a special, world-class company. Congratulations on building such a company. Best.”

It has taken some time to get back to you, but my garage is finally done. Your Base Molding MX and Corner Protector MX make a seamless transition from the floor to the wall. Amazing products and perfect fit. The guys who installed it were very impressed with the quality and ease of installation. It went very fast. Thanks again and I loved the hat!!
