We completed our basement workout room floor last week. The hard part was moving all of our stuff, but the floor was easy to install and really looks great. Very Professional. We actually installed the slate pattern tiles on 1/3 of the room the week before. That is an area that I do Zumba Fitness on. The slate has enough slide ability to be easy on the knees for dancing. That floor was also very easy and fun to install. Then the next week we installed the rubber floor on the rest of the workout room. We now have a great gym. I highly recommend the products that we used and the service was wonderful. I was happy to get the samples so quickly, that made my decision on color very simple. Great products, great results!!!

The interlocking tiles installed cleanly and are working well for moderately heavy gym equipment. As a novice I thought the 36″ tiles covered 36″Instead they cover somewhat less due to interlocking overlap. My five across tiles did NOT cover 15 feet. It was about 4 inches short. Rubber Flooring Inc was helpful in shipping me a roll of same rubber type at reduced shipping cost to help me fill the gap - which I have done. Aside form my novice error - great experience!

This flooring is awesome! I installed it downstairs in our home gym. The interlocking parts go together perfectly so that they almost become invisible. It's easy to cut with a sharp utility knife - just make sure you have something underneath (like a scrap piece of wood or a scrap piece of this rubber flooring) for when the knife goes through. I found it easiest to do the first cut with a straight edge. Then take away the straight edge, bend one side of the tile down to expose the cut line, and then make multiple passes with the knife. After each pass with the knife, the cut opening will get bigger and bigger, making it easier and easier to cut.

The product is excellent and easy to install. My only comment to anyone who orders is to measure your room twice and consult with Rubber Flooring to make sure you have the correct number of tiles. I measured my floor and estimated the number of tiles needed which was 42. I called to place my order and the representative told me I only needed 32. I questioned her three times and she said we do this everyday and I know you need 32. I agreed because they are the experts. That said when it arrived and I installed I was short 10 tiles. I called and said I told you so! They apologized for the error and said they would send me 10 more tiles and they would take 5% off for their error. I asked for free shipping and they said no as I would have paid for the additional weight if the 10 tiles were on the first order. I did not agree with their analogy and was disappointed they only gave me 5% off for their mistake and inconvenience.I had to wait another 5 days to get the tiles to complete the room and move our equipment back in. Would I recommend,yes - great product, easy to install. Just check and double check room size against tiles ordered.

The product arrived as scheduled. Was easy to install. We did it in a couple of hours. Our home gym looks like a commercial gym. Word of caution, follow installation instructions and definately leave a gap between perimeter tiles and wall to all for tiles to adjust during installation since no walls are plumb. This will give you some play. Although I was concerned about the odor other reviews mentioned, it was not as bad as I anticipated. We have a completely open floor plan spanning three floors. There is an odor, but it as not overwhelming. The floor has been in about two weeks and every day it is less and less. Once we are able to open windows and continue to air out the area, I am confident it will completely disappear. Totally worth the money. Would not hesitate to use the product again.

Great and attractive product, great service over the phone. The pre-cut straight edges are worth a fortune in your labor time -- cutting these is no fun, even with a power tool, like one of those vibrating small hand saws. Only minor complaint is the smell -- never overpowering, even from day one, but it has taken a month to get rid of the traces of it. The edging that I bought with it made it look really professional, and provide a safe transition at the edges.

We are really happy that we decided to use these rubber tiles for our new work out room. Shipping was quick, installation was very easy. Good quality product, nice heavy stock. We'd recommend it.

Love this product. The tiles are heavy enough that I didn't need any carpet tape or adhesive during install and the don't move. I had to make several cuts with one of them very intricate. With a sharp blade and some effort the results were flawless.

The room is 17 by 17 feet, and we are in the process of adding some mirrors and more equipment. Great product and process. From the Website, to the transportation delivery, to the install. The seams disappear and the edges are easy to try and tuck under the finished base board. We have received many compliments and numerous requests for the website. Thanks for making a great product.

Quality product. Easy to install. I didn’t get extra tiles so I had to be very careful with my measurements for the cuts - I recommend getting a few extra tiles around the edges. It was raining so I had to move my equipment around the garage while I was doing the installation. Would have been much easier and saved me a couple of hours if the garage was empty. Overall I love it and it was worth the effort.

It is exactly what you represented it to be online. The product tiles tightly lock together, are stylish in appearance, and are the perfect thickness and density for my garage-gym conversion needs. Couldn't be happier!

Excellent. Very happy!

Dense, well-made product. Seamless fit.

Easy to install, has the proper thickness and easy to wipe down after use. Very durable. A lot better than typical workout mats. Difficult to keep the garage dust off and shows foot prints. Great product. I'd order it again.

I researched quite a bit for the best flooring I can place over carpet. I’m so happy with this product. I figured out how many of each tile I needed and installed them myself. I had to cut some pieces with a utility knife to fit odd corners of the room but that wasn’t tough to do at all. I placed the tiles directly on the carpet and I have not seen any staining on the carpet or encountered any issues. Our very heavy treadmill is sitting right on the rubber tiles and it is holding up quite well. I recommend this product 100% to anyone looking for a durable, great quality and well priced rubber flooring.

I used this material to cover the concrete pad that was an old horse wash rack. I built a new roof over it and added a pergola next to it. I thought of using an epoxy or urethane finish over the concrete, but the tight-lock tiles [black w blue flecks] was way cheaper, not slippery and easy to install. My wash rack did not have 90 degree corners so I was dealing with a parallelogram. The kit which included corner, side and center pieces made it easy to fit in the space with some box cutter trimming. This is sooo easy on the feet. I have some furniture and other items with wheels and they roll easily on the tiles. The dovetail interlocks are almost invisible. Water and dirt and dust have not harmed it at all so far [2 months]. One edge of the concrete pad sloped down wards and the tile conformed to it well and did not ″unlock″ the dovetail connection.

I had installed the 3/8” Tight-Lock Tiles in my basement utility room about 5 years ago after looking at several options. It has worked like a charm, so when I decided to renovate my garage and shop I chose the same product. The Rubber flooring website helped me to select the right assortment of pieces to make the installation as custom as possible, and it was a snap with a good straight-edge and a sharp utility knife. As before I installed the rubber tiles on a membrane that “breaths” when I walk on it, to manage the moisture level. The floor is comfortable to work on and cleans up easily, and the color specs contrast well with my benches and cabinets for a high end look. One added bonus is that the floor is a soft landing spot for anything that drops. It also cleans up easily.
