Most Common Product Questions For ground protection mat at Greatmats:
Would this work on top of my hardwood floors in my living room? I'm looking for something that won't slip and has cushion for my intense, cross-training workouts. Bonus if I can de-assemble the flooring fairly easily for hiding away when company comes over.
This floor can be dis-assembled, but its not that easy for repeated dis-assembly. Its great for intense workouts on top of any hard flat surface and will most likely not slip around, the larger the layout the less likely for slippage. Also consider a roll of our plyometric rubber material, which is easy to roll up and store.
I want to use this in my garage for a workout space but in the event that I need to bring my car into the garage Is the flooring able to withstand it or will it ruin the flooring?
The car may deform the tiles, would could test it and see.
We currently have interlocking cheap mats that we picked up from Lowe's in our home gym and our dogs nails are tearing up the surface of it. Will light scratches effect the flooring at all or is it pretty durable as far as light scrapes/scratches?
This PVC tile is very durable and will not puncture from dog claws.
can this be used outdoors for small playground
Use the perforated version of this tile, call Staylock Perforated tile. This tile is great for outdoor use and features a 20 inch ASTM fall height rating. Install a geo mesh weed barrier below the tiles.
I want to do an entire room above cement. All e pictures are of partial areas. Does it work well for that? How would you do the pieces around the edges?
This tile can be installed on concrete, in a partial or full room layout as needed, the product does have border ramped edges. We also have good videos of installations. Please contact customer with further questions.
Will this product be sturdy enough for a weight lifting workout if assembled on top of carpet?
Yes these tiles can be installed over carpeting, but these tiles are not as hard as rubber, and some customers have found them to be too soft for weight lifting equipment.
If laid out on hardwood floors will the hard wood be scratched underneath? Would a thin carpet need to be used to protect the floor?
If the tiles dont move around, then the PVC Staylock tiles will not scratch the hardwood as the Staylock tiles are a softer plastic material.
Are the tile bumps small enough that they won’t impact stability of cardio equipment like an upright bike when used over carpet?
The raised bumps are just slightly raised and will not cause instability with equipment placed over the top.
For an in-home BJJ mat that will be over carpet, should install the staylock tile bump and then place roll out or puzzle piece mat on top of that?
If you have high pile or padded carpet, we suggest taking the carpet up completely or using a plywood over the carpet to create a stable base for the interlocking tiles.
If a diagonal cut is necessary to accommodate the door (wall to wall installation) can the ramp edging still be attached
If the Staylock Tiles are cut at a diagonal, the interlocking ramped borders will not attach to the tile.
Is this matting ASTM compliant? I need to have this for our facility. Also, is this durable and resilient enough to mat the floor underneath short climbers for preschool aged children?
