I read your answer to the question about carpet but wanted to take that a step further. Want to make a section of my bonus room into a home gym area. So I want roughly a 15ft by 15ft section of padded gym floor in the center of the room to use while working out but the entire room is carpeted. Does your roll floor have to be glued/adhesive down or can it just be rolled out on top of the carpet and because of its shear weight it stays put where it is? Your answer to someone else about carpet mentioned "The only issue you may run into on plush carpet is some separation due to the padding under the carpet becoming depressed." What does this mean? We have a frieze type carpet that has longer strands. Thanks
Our Eco-Flec Rolls do not have to be glued when installed. The sheer weight of the product, in most instances, is enough to keep the flooring in place. If there is movement due to certain exercises being performed, then we recommend using some double sided carpet tape under the rolls. When we talk about plush carpet, we are really talking about the pad that is under the carpet. Most homes have a plush carpet with a thick pad under it. These pads are typically about a 1/2" thick. Since the pad is very soft and is meant to depress when weight is applied to it, there can be instances where the rubber on top can be depressed as well creating a potential tripping hazard. If your carpet doesn't have a thick pad under it, then this is not an issue, but if it does, then there can be a potential issue.
