Can the 1/4" Pre Cut Tough Rubber rolls be sealed for use in a dog daycare?
Our 1/4" Pre Cut Tough Rubber Rolls can be sealed with our Floor Finish And Sealer. This will make the flooring water resistant, but not water proof.
Was this helpful?Can these be installed in areas prone to flooding such as in wet basements? Will they develop mold if soaked for a day or more?
Our 1/4" Pre Cut Tough Rubber Rolls are great as flooring in basements. Since these rolls are made from rubber, they are naturally mold and mildew resistant. If your basement were to flood, cleaning your rubber flooring is easy. First, we would recommend not gluing your flooring down as you will need to clean under the rubber flooring after the water has receded. You would then remove the rolls, clean them, and let them air dry. Once dry and the basement has been cleaned, you can then place your flooring back into your basement. No matter how long the water is sitting over the flooring, your rubber flooring will not be destroyed.

Our 1/4" Pre Cut Tough Rubber Rolls are very easy to clean. For any large dirt and debris, you can use a broom or a brushless vacuum to remove it. For any stuck-on dirt and debris, we recommend mopping the flooring with a synthetic or sponge mop with a mild soap and water solution. You would then just let the floor air dry. For any small spills, you can use a paper towel or washrag to clean up the spill.

Was this helpful?When installing outside, can you lay it over gravel, or what is a good ground prep over dirt? Also, how can you match the seems without gluing them together? That way, they don’t spread apart? Can you get bigger pieces other than 4’? I have a 20’x30’ outdoor area, and I would like as few seams as possible.
You can install our 1/4" Pre-Cut Tough Rubber Rolls over compacted gravel. If you are concerned the seams may separate for any reason, you could try and place our double-sided tape under the rolls. You would just remove the protective paper on one side of the tape. Our rubber rolls only come 4' wide. The best option would be to purchase 5 rolls 30' long to reduce the number of seams.

Was this helpful?I was looking into this to cover up some synthetic ice in my backyard. I live in Las Vegas, where it can be continually up to 120 for days. Will the Rubber melt or create marks on the synthetic ice and withstand that much heat without being warped or cracked?
Our 1/4" Pre Cut Tough Rubber Rolls are made from recycled commercial truck tire tread. If your tires can handle the heat, our flooring will too. Our rubber flooring has been installed all over the US and Canada in some of the most extreme conditions. Our rubber flooring will not crack or warp due to the conditions. Now, that doesn't mean our rubber flooring won't expand and contract. All flooring, to an extent, will do this as these materials have a basis in natural products. So, if there are major temperature changes, there will be some expansion and contraction of your floor. You can install these as a protectant over your synthetic ice without our rubber flooring damaging it. If you are concerned that the flooring may leave marks, we recommend placing a plastic sheet between the existing surface and our rubber flooring. This sheet will ensure that no staining will occur.

Was this helpful?Can you use this flooring in a dog kennel or do you offer anything else that would work good in an outside dog kennel?
Our 1/4" Pre Cut Tough Rubber Rolls can be used in a dog kennel whether indoors or out. These rubber rolls are very easy to clean and maintain and are mold and mildew resistant. When being used in dog kennels and doggy daycares, we recommend sealing the floor with our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer. This will help to fill in the small pores that are found in the floor. If you are installing multiple rolls together, we also recommend using our Seam Sealer glue to make the seams watertight.
