Rather than searching for “flooring installation made easy” and ending up with a random product you aren’t sure you can trust, rely on Greatmats to deliver high-quality puzzle floor mats that are made for DIY installations. Our mats use interlocking edges that resemble a jigsaw puzzle, meaning they are one of the easiest DIY flooring options to install. You can pick from several different materials and colors to create the perfect flooring for your needs.
These mats are easy to install because they do not require adhesive to secure the jigsaw edges. Although many puzzle floor tiles have a colorful design that kids love in a play area, you can find some with faux wood patterns that are made for installations in areas where adults hang out. Greatmats has all the puzzle tile flooring options you could want. Trust us: These floors are way easier to assemble than that 500-piece puzzle your in-laws bought for you last holiday season.

Top 10 Questions About Puzzle Mats

Below are the most popular questions we've received about puzzle mats. Click the question to get a detailed answer and explanation on these topics.
  1. Why Do Interlocking Tiles Separate? Interlocking tiles might separate if the subfloor base is not level, if environmental issues occur (like widely varying temperature and humidity changes), or if the quality of the material is poor.
  2. How Do You Install Puzzle Carpet Squares Over Concrete? To install puzzle carpet tiles over a concrete subfloor, start by leveling the floor. Begin working in one corner of the room and go outward, cutting tiles to fit as you reach obstacles or the exterior walls.
  3. What EVA Foam Texture Is Available on Puzzle Mats? EVA foam can have several types of texture on the top surface of the puzzle mats, including bubble, leather, pebble, felt, thatch, and no-burn tatami.
  4. What Are Some Alternative Uses for Foam Puzzle Mat Flooring Tiles? Interlocking foam tiles are usable in a variety of situations beyond flooring, including as wall padding, cosplay costumes, door stoppers, seat cushions, portable work mats, and more.
  5. How Do I Cut Foam Floor Tiles and Mats? Foam tiles are easy to cut during a DIY installation. Use a pen and straight edge to mark the cut line. Make shallow cuts along the line to score it until you can fold it. Then finish the cut on the opposite side.
  6. What Are Martial Arts Puzzle Mats Made of, and How Do I Choose the Best One? EVA foam is a popular choice for martial arts puzzle mats, as it is easy to install and offers cushioning while remaining durable. 
  7. What Is the Best Puzzle Play Mat? Puzzle mats that work well for play areas include colorful designs that appeal to kids, textured rubber mats for traction in playgrounds, and thick and large foam mats for extra cushioning protection against falls.
  8. How Do You Install Gym Puzzle Mats? To install puzzle mats in an exercise area, you don’t need glue. Just slide the tabs on one tile into the slots on another tile to secure them. Because they already have padding, you don’t need to add any padded subflooring.
  9. What Are the Best Black Puzzle Mats? The best black puzzle mats will give you durability while avoiding showing scuffs and other issues after rough treatment. They’ll show less soil than brightly colored mats if you don’t have time to clean them as often as you’d like.
  10. What Are the Best Interlocking Wood Floor Tiles? The best interlocking wood floor tiles usually consist of foam and have a faux wood grain finish printed on the surface. Vinyl tiles are a smart choice, too, as they look like the real thing without the installation or maintenance hassles of hardwood floors.
