Spec Sheet

Installation of our 1/2" Eco-Soft + Foam Tiles is very simple and typically done by the consumer. Typical installation of these interlocking tiles is as follows:

First, clean your subfloor, so it is free of all dirt, grease, or debris.
Start in one corner of the room with a corner tile and add border tiles outward along the adjacent walls. Add center, corner, and border tiles where you see fit.
When coming up to an opposite wall, make sure you cut the tiles to fit the area leaving a gap that’s roughly the thickness of the tiles being used to account for expansion and contraction of the floor tiles in varied temperature ranges.

Please Note: When piecing interlocking tiles together, adhesives are usually not used since the weight of the locked together product is usually enough to keep the floor tiles from moving. However, if you do experience movement and would like to ensure that the tiles do not slide at all, some double-sided tape or mat tape can be used around the perimeter of the installation to prevent any movement.

1/2" Eco-Soft +™ Foam Tiles are very easy to clean and maintain. These interlocking foam floor tiles are constructed of durable closed-cell EVA foam. This means that no liquids can penetrate the surface of the tiles.
If the interlocking foam tiles do get something spilled on them or appear dirty, all they need is a quick wipe with a damp cloth and your soft tiles will look like new.

Our Eco-Soft + tiles are made with EVA foam. No rubber is used in the making of these tiles. All of our foam tiles are tested regularly and contain no hazardous materials or allergens. That means our tiles are formamide, phthalate, PVC, and flame retardant free. To get testing for our foam tiles, please feel free to reach out to one of our Floor Heroes and they can email it to you.

Our Eco-Soft + tiles work great over carpet. In most instances, you will not have any issues with separation or with the tiles sliding around. The only time separation may happen when the carpet is a high pile carpet. If the tiles were to move for any reason, you could use a little double sided tape underneath the tiles.

Mold and mildew can grow underneath any surface in the right conditions.

You can put a table and chairs on top of our Eco-Soft + Tiles. If you do put furniture on these tiles, you will see indentations where the furniture has sat. To prevent this, we recommend placing furniture sliders under any heavy furniture. You won't typically be able to slide chairs in and out on these tiles. With furniture sliders, you would be able to. If you don't use them, we recommend picking the chairs up and moving them out before trying to sit in them.

You can install our Eco-Soft + tiles under a ping pong table over concrete. The weight of the ping pong table will create indentations in the flooring.

Our Eco-Soft + tiles are very comfortable underfoot. They are made out of foam so that they would be soft.

If you would like a product that is more suitable for this, please feel free to check out some rubber flooring options on RubberFlooringInc.

If cars will be driving in and out of your garage over out Eco-Soft + Tiles, then they would not be the recommended floor.

Each Eco-Soft + Tile comes with two removable edge pieces that allow you to turn any tile into a corner, border, or center tile. These edges are not beveled and are indeed flat. These edges come with the tiles for free, so no need to try and purchase them separately.

Our Eco-Soft + tiles can be installed over any hard, flat surface, so a concrete subfloor would be a perfect subfloor to install our tiles over. Plywood, asphalt, and commercial carpet are also great subfloors for our tiles as well.

Since our 1/2" Eco-Soft + tiles are made from EVA foam, they are not the best option to be used outdoors, but they can be used outdoors. Since they are non-porous, they may not be the best option under rubber mulch, as water would not be able to drain properly. We would recommend using one of our Lawn Pads or Play Pads under the mulch to allow water to drain properly.

Our Eco Soft+ tiles are made from high density foam and they will absorb heavy weight well. With the weight of equipment like a treadmill the tiles will indent. If the equipment is left on the tile long enough then the indent will become permanent. This impact can be mitigated with the use of furniture sliders or some other surface that helps distribute the weight of the machine. Otherwise we might suggest our 8mm Strong Rubber Tiles which will not indent under the heavier weight of a treadmill...

Each tile comes with two detachable edges that form a corner! These edges can be removed to make one large floor and then assembled around the edges of the foam floor to create a nice flat edge around the perimeter.

The Eco-Soft+ Tiles are great for home gym floor padding. Heavy equipment will leave indentations in the surface of the tile that may be permanent. You can use furniture sliders to mitigate this indentation or if you plan to move the equipment in the future you can always replace the indented tiles.

Our Eco-Soft tiles are completely waterproof and can be installed on a subfloor without a moisture barrier. If you are worried that the conditions of your floor might lead to a mildew problem then it may be smart to lay down some sort of underlayment in order to prolong the live of the tiles and to avoid mildew on your floor under the tiles.
