The manufacturer of our EVA foam tiles has provided us a test that states that one sample of an EVA foam tile passed a test that states the sample was free of formamide. We don't then state that all of our EVA foam tiles are formamide free, and I know that other supplies will promote this. The reason is that all the EVA foam tiles on the market are pretty much the same material. Formamide free EVA tiles can not exist, however the formamide will dissipate over time and one can get a passing test result after a few months of manufacturing. We source from the largest manufacturer of EVA foam tiles in world and I personally visit the factory each year and have much knowledge about the manufacturing process. I'll not state on my site what I know is not true. EVA foam tiles do not contain PVC material and thus no phthalates. Some blogs talk about EVA replacing PVC in foam tiles. This is not true; they are totally different materials. PVC is a plastic. EVA foam comes from the flip flop industry. Thank you David Butler President

This is product will protect against an hard surface. The product is not tested for other safety features.

We have various interlocking foam tiles which are very popular for daycare and childcare locations, however the foam tiles are not really designed for areas with tables and chairs. We have our Staylock line of flooring tiles which provide a 20 inch ASTM fall height rating and can be used with tables and chairs and are easy to clean and are very durable for a long period of time.

All foam tiles will expand and potentially deform when exposed to heat and direct sunlight, so we can not warranty the foam tiles outdoors. The tiles are waterproof and will not absorb moisture. I believe some of our customer have used these tiles outdoors under portable swimming pools.

Any small surface area that carries a load will intent the foam tiles. This can leave an almost permanent indentation, however this will not damage the foam tile per say. You can use coasters under such feet or legs to disperse the weight of the furniture.

The interlocking design of the tiles are the same, so the tiles should interlock together, the thickness difference is 3 mm.

The slippery coating mentioned may be on the top surface from the mold release agent, which can be cleaned off. The foam will act like a vapor barrier and may discolor polyurethane on wood floors, however our experience is that this discoloring is temporary. You might consider a sheet of construction craft paper between the tiles and the wood floor.

Most likely not, the bottom of the foam tiles has a bit of a grip on hardwood and tile, so it can depend on the surface and the activity.

We sell by the tile, so however many you order.

The foam tiles will not hurt the carpet. The tiles may slip around depending on the size of the installation and the activities performed on top of the tiles. Its best to install these foam tiles on a hard flat surface in order for the tiles to have a good connection to the surface.

The foam tile are best installed over a hard flat surface in order to make good contact with the floor so they do not slip around.

These foam tiles are too soft for this, we recommend our Sport Designer Foam tiles for use as an underlayment under the Adagio marley vinyl material. The Sport Designer Foam is more firm.

Not sure about this question, I would think yes, but that would make a very thick underlayment.

These EVA/PE foam tiles are fine over in floor heat, no issues. For P90X you might consider the 7/8 inch thickness Home Sport and Play mats.

The foam tiles can be scratched with dog claws and will not absorb moisture. For more information on this topic, you may want to check out our Knowledge Base blog <a href='/dog-agility-mats/is-foam-or-rubber-flooring-better-for-dog-areas.php'> comparing rubber and foam flooring for dog areas.</a>

These tiles have a finished surface texture which makes them easy to vacuum and a dogs claws can puncture this foam material.

You can mix and match colors as needed to come to 15 total.

In the foam tiles, we only have the square edges.

We are not familiar with painting this type of foam tile.

We have chroma key in commercial sheet vinyl.

Only the 2x2 ft size is available.

The foam tiles have not been known to stick to sealed concrete.

These foam tiles work best over a hard, flat surface. A low pile, commercial grade carpet would be okay. Thicker or padded carpeting may cause the tiles to unlock or come apart at the interlock. Liquid could leak between the seams in any application.

Finding a completely odorless product will be tricky. But, foam is a low odor product. We also have PVC Plastic gym tiles. I suggest getting a sample before making a purchase.

Foam mats are cleaned with a damp mop and common household cleaner. Avoid bleach.

You can use common cleaners like dish soap, an anti-bacterial diluted with water or vinegar diluted with water. Avoid bleach.

These are not sound proof. But, they will help dampen the noise.

1 pound per mat We do offer a few different options of foam puzzle mats of lesser thickness. - <a href='/foam/foam-mats.php'>Foam Mats Economy 1/2 inch</a> - <a href='/tiles/home-gym-floor-tile-pebble10.php'>Home Gym Flooring Tile Pebble 10 mm</a> - <a href='/foam/sport-plus-foam-underlayment-pad.php'>Sports Plus Foam Tile</a> (3/8 Inch)

There is a slight interlock loss when the tiles are connected together of 0.03 feet. The calculator takes that into account.
