Care and Maintenance Document

Installation of these interlocking tiles is very simple and usually done by the consumer. Typical installation of these 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.
Leave the other two edges of the room open and fill in the rest, adding center, corner, and border tiles where you see fit.
After the open floor is covered, go back and cut in tiles along the opposite walls in the room. We recommend leaving a gap along the walls roughly the tiles' thickness and using it to account for expansion and contraction of the floor in varied temperature ranges.

Note: When piecing interlocking tiles together, adhesives aren’t usually needed since the product's weight is usually enough to keep the floor tiles from moving. However, do experience movement and would like to ensure that the tiles do not slide at all. You can use some double-sided tape or mat tape around the installation's perimeter to prevent movement.

Care and Maintenance Document

Premium Rubber Gym Tiles are easy to clean and maintain. Maintenance of these rubber tiles typically includes:

Vacuuming any loose crumbs, dust, or debris from the floor surface when necessary.
Occasional damp mopping of the interlocking mat with a mild soap and water solution. A few recommended soaps are Dawn dish detergent or Tide laundry detergent.

Note: Do not use solvent or oil-based cleaners such as Pinesol, Lysol, Murphy’s Oil Soap, WD40, paint thinner, etc., as these will break down the flooring over time.

Customer Questions And Answer

Our Rubber Gym tiles can be used over low to medium pile carpets, but high pile carpets can cause the tiles to separate. Light colored carpets do have the potential to be stained by our tiles due to them being black on the bottom. An easy solution to prevent staining is to place a thin plastic sheet underneath your tiles. Our rubber gym tiles do have a slight rubber smell to them, but this smell will dissipate over time.

1/2" Rubber Gym Tile borders and corners are 2' x 2' for our 2' x 2' tiles and 4' x 4' for our 4' x 4' tiles.

Two 2' x 2' tiles will not interlock with one 4' x 4' tile.

The top of the tiles is the textured side, but you can install the tiles with the smooth surface on top.

Our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles are made right here in the USA.

The best way to cut our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles is a sharp utility knife and a straight edge. Multiple scores with the knife a typically necessary, but this is the best way to cut the tiles and keep a nice clean look. You can use a jigsaw on low speed with silicone or water, and this too can effectively cut the tiles with ease.

The smell associated with our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles will dissipate over time. The best way to speed this process up is to mop the floor with a mild soap and water solution. We then recommend to let the flooring air dry in a well ventilated space. This process may have to be done a few times to truly get rid of the smell, but this is the best way to remove the rubber smell.

A car can easily drive over our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles. These rubber tiles are our toughest tiles and will not indent under the weight of the car. These tiles are vulcanized like the tires on your car. The only problem that may arise from parking a car over our rubber flooring is that if any oil gets on the tile from the car, over time, the tiles may start to break down. For most cars, oil leakage if pretty rare, so this is not an issue for most installations.

Our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles are durable enough to drop weights on them and would give you ample shock absorbency for high impact workouts. Working out on these tiles will be easier on your knees than working out on concrete.

You can install our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles over tile without having to remove it.

Unfortunately, we do not have any rubber tiles that interlock with our foam tiles.

Both our Rubber Gym Tiles and our turf would be great options for doing sprint training in our basement. Typically sprint training is done on a rubber track, so using our rubber gym tiles would provide the most realistic training surface. Another reason why the rubber tiles would be a better option is the fact that they will help absorb the shock of someone applying that much force while running. This will help protect their joints while training. Another great option for this type of training...

Our beveled edge on our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles is more like a true bevel than a ramp. Pretty much you will get a slight taper at the top of the tile.

You can install our Rubber Gym Tiles over certain types of vinyl. If the vinyl you are installing over is a luxury vinyl, then you can install it over that. Since these products have a wear layer on them, it protects the vinyl from reacting with the tiles. If the product is a natural vinyl product like some vinyl sheets, then we would recommend you not installing it over it as the rubber will stain the vinyl over time. If you don't mind that, then you can install our rubber flooring over any...

Our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles can be installed outdoors. These tiles are very durable and will be able to withstand the elements. They are freeze/thaw stable and are mold and mildew resistant. These tiles are very slip-resistant and are more slip-resistant when wet. The only thing that you will notice when placing our rubber flooring outside is that it can fade in direct sunlight over time.

A bevel is a slope that can be found on flooring. On our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles, this bevel is a full bevel taking the edge of your flooring from 1/2" to the flooring surface.

Border tiles have interlocking sides on three sides, whereas a center tile has interlocking sides on all sides.

In theory, this could work. Our 3/8" Rubber Gym Tiles and our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles will interlock with each other as the only difference between the two is the thickness.

Our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles will not stain porcelain, ceramic, or natural stone tile.

Our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles have been used in high school and college weight rooms with great success.

The beveled edge does not get rid of the interlocking tabs in our Rubber Gym Tiles. The tiles will be interlocking with the corner and border tiles coming beveled on the edge to eliminate a tripping hazard.

Vulcanized tiles like our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles are less forgiving than non-vulcanized tiles. Both types of rubber are shock absorbent, but the non-vulcanized tiles would be more cushioned to help lessen the impact placed on your body when doing jump exercises or high impact plyometric exercises. For these types of exercises, we recommend going with one of our Impact Rolls or Mats which can be found on our High Impact list page.

You don't have to place anything between our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles when installing them over laminate flooring. If you are concerned about any staining, you can place a plastic sheet between the rubber tiles and laminate.

Our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles are an interlocking tile. These tiles are made in three different forms, corner, border, and center tiles. The center tiles have interlocks on all sides. The border tiles have interlocks on three sides, and the corner tiles have interlocks on two sides. You can purchase all three types individually on the product page.

The top side of our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles is the textured or rough side. The smooth side is the bottom.

If you cut the tabs off our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles, the straight edge of that tile will not line up with the straight edge of a border tile. The border tile is made to be the same size as a center tile with the teeth on all sides. If a tile has a beveled edge, the bevel will start before the edge and then end up being the same size as a border tile that had a straight edge.

Since our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles and pretty much all rubber flooring has a high coefficient of friction, typical sleds don't typically work on them. If you wanted to use a sled over our rubber flooring, you would have to find one specifically made to work over rubber. There are a few out there that are essentially vinyl/plastic sacs that you lay flat and add weight into them.

Our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles wouldn't be considered low VOC. A smell mitigant is used in these rubber tiles to keep the smell down, but there is still a rubber smell. This rubber smell can be mitigated by mopping the floor with a mild soap and water solution with a synthetic mophead. You also will want to make sure there is plenty of ventilation in the space where you are installing our Rubber Gym Tiles, and you may need to repeat the mopping part a few times to get the smell truly mitigated. ...

Our 1/2" Rubber Gym Tiles will help to reduce the amount of vibration that comes from your elliptical. We can't guarantee your downstairs neighbor will not hear it, but the amount of noise will be greatly reduced.
