We want to use your 1/2" Mega Rubber rolls for a kids "wet" area with sprinklers and using a ground level deck to allow for drainage. What is the best installation method over wood decking? Would you recommend anything between the wood (treated) and rubber flooring? Lastly, any issues with a midwest climate?
Our Mega Rubber Rolls would work perfectly as flooring for a wet area where kids will be playing and running through sprinklers. Rubber is very slip resistant and when wet, is even more slip resistant. These rolls would be very easy to install over a wood deck to allow for drainage. You would be able to install the rolls without any glue or tape, but if there were some movement, you could use double sided tape or our polyurethane adhesive. Since all of our rubber rolls are made from recycled tires, they are durable enough to handle any weather so that these rolls will perform just fine in the coldest of winters to the hottest of summers. Another great aspect of rubber flooring is that its mold and mildew resistant and is very easy to clean and maintain. The only thing you will notice with having our rubber rolls outdoors is that there will be some fading over time with the rolls.
Was this helpful?I would like to install your ½" rolled rubber floor over a concrete slab. Is there anything I should know? Thanks.
You can install our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls over a concrete slab or any other flat, solid surface like asphalt or wood decking. There are no real got you moments that come with installing rubber over concrete. One thing you will want to be aware of is if your concrete floor is allowing water to flow through it. If so, you may want to seal the floor before you install the rubber. The moisture won't hurt the flooring, but your flooring may end up sweating. Rubber is more slip resistant when wet, so this is not a huge issue, but more of a surprise when people see the flooring start to do this.
Was this helpful?I am working on installing some 1/2 inch rubber flooring in a HS weight room. Can I paint their logo on the flooring? And if I can, should I use acrylic or other paint? Do you offer logo services?
If the space doesn't get a lot of traffic, using an acrylic paint will work just fine. If there will be a little more traffic, we recommend using an exterior paint. We do offer logo services, and if you reach out to one of our Flooring Heroes, they will be more than happy to assist you with pricing.

Was this helpful?My gym is in my garage and in the winter it gets down to mid 30’s and in the summer it gets up around 100 degrees. Will the rolled half inch flooring expand and shrink with weather changes to where the seams come apart?
Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls and all of our rubber flooring will expand and contract in extreme temperature variations. To help prevent this, we recommend gluing the flooring down. If you don't glue the flooring, we recommend cutting an expansion gap from 1/2" to a 1" around the perimeter of the floor to properly expand and contract. Typically the flooring will expand around the perimeter, not as much at the seams, but it can.
Was this helpful?I have read thru the specs several times and I do not see the width of this product mentioned anywhere just that the length needs to be at least 15'. What is the width of this roll?
Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls and all of our rubber rolls are 4' wide.
Was this helpful?We have 3 mirrored columns in our PD gym. The mirrors are constantly being broken from people banging weights into the mirrors; I would like to cut the mats into 2'X2' sections and glue them to the mirrors on the lower portion to prevent breaking of the mirrors. Will these mats adhere to mirrors?
If you prepare the surface properly, our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls can be glued to any surface. You will want to use a polyurethane adhesive.
Was this helpful?Is there a reducer to use around the perimeter?
We do not currently have a Rubber Ramp that will fit our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls. You can use one of our standard flooring reducers to create a transition between floors. You can find all of our trims and moldings on our Trims and Moldings page.
Was this helpful?Is the 1/2 mega roll firm enough to use over fairly soft carpet for a treadmill? I bought a mat from local fitness store, think it was 1/4 or 3/8. It bends quite a bit when I walk on it on my carpet, and I'm not that heavy. Have about 400 lb commercial treadmill on it and its barely better then just being on the carpet alone.
Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls perform best over commercial grade low pile carpet. Since your wanting to use this roll as a mat, the weight of the treadmill should keep the roll solid underneath the treadmill. There may be some bending due to the carpet being a high pile carpet, but there shouldn't be much. This roll should perform better than the thinner mats you have been using. Other products that you could consider that perform better over high pile carpets are our 1" Monster Tiles and our 1" Sports Play Tiles.
