Do the tiles come with an interlocking flat edge trim?
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.
Was this helpful?Can these tiles be used in my garage?
If cars will be driving in and out of your garage over out Eco-Soft + Tiles, then they would not be the recommended floor. If the garage is more of a play space or extra room, then these tiles would work perfectly. People have used these tiles as garage flooring, but over time the tiles start to tear and breakdown and separate quite often from the torque caused by driving in and out of a garage.
Was this helpful?Hi, I have a home gym with free weights (barbell, rack, steel plates, etc.). Does this flooring provide a soft feel when standing on it? Example: if you were doing squats with a heavy bar would your feet shift slightly or is the foam fairly stiff? (in comparison to rubber tiles)
Our Eco-Soft + tiles are very comfortable underfoot. They are made out of foam so that they would be soft. We don't recommend using these in an area where squats would be performed because they will depress underfoot and could shift slightly causing a risk of injury. If you would like a product that is more suitable for this, please feel free to check out some rubber flooring options on RubberFlooringInc.
Was this helpful?Does the 1/2" eco-soft + product meet Class A flame spread ratings to be suitable for use in commercial construction? We are interested in installing this in a medical office.
Our 1/2" Eco-Soft + Tiles are not technically considered flooring, so they are not tested in the same way as other materials are tested for flammability. For a toy, they passed the testing requirements set forth under 16 CFR 1500.3(c)(6)(vi), Flammability of Solids.

Our 1/2" Eco-Soft + Tiles do not contain formaldehyde.
Was this helpful?Is foam flooring good on a cement floor under a ping pong table?
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. To prevent this, we recommend placing furniture sliders under the legs of the table. These tiles will help to insulate any room they are installed in and will also provide comfort underfoot.
Was this helpful?Could I put a wooden table and chairs on this? When I pulled the chairs out to sit on them, would they end up snagging on the seams between tiles?
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.
Was this helpful?I bought these tiles in 2015 and need more. Just so I'm clear, this note indicates that this won't work with my previous purchase, correct? "These tiles will not interlock with our Eco-Soft Tiles - 2015."
Any Eco-Soft tile bought before 2015 will interlock with our Eco-Soft + tiles, but will not be the same thickness. If you need further tiles to expand your flooring, please feel free to contact one our Flooring Heroes, and they will be more than happy to assist you with expanding your flooring.
Was this helpful?I have a treadmill and total gym that I want to put on the foam tiles. Will they hold up to that?
You can use our 1/2" Eco-Soft + under a treadmill or total gym, but they will indent from the weight of the equipment. To help alleviate this issue, we recommend placing furniture sliders under the machines.
Was this helpful?Can this withstand a kid (under 75 LBS.) riding a bike on it?
We don't recommend riding a bike over our Eco-Soft + tiles, but you could ride a bike over the tiles. Over time, they will wear and will need to be replaced.
