I covered a 20'x20' garage floor with the monster rubber tiles -- and turned the garage into a gym. They look and work great, my big question, though, is how can I get rid of (or tone it down) the strong rubber smell. It's not too inviting to go into the gym with that smell. Any suggestions?? thanks.
To reduce the rubber smell you get with this product, just simply mop the tiles with a mild soap and water solution and let them air dry. You may have to repeat this step more than once. This will help to mitigate the rubber smell.

Was this helpful?Can these be used in Equine facilities? Are these tiles waterproof?
Our 1" Monster Rubber Tiles can be used as flooring in equine facilities. These rubber tiles are not waterproof. They have a non-porous top that helps prevent any liquids from flowing through the flooring, but at the seams, there is still potential for liquids to pass through any spacing between the tiles. To make your flooring water-tight, we recommend using our Seam Sealer glue to ensure a water-tight floor.

Was this helpful?I’m looking for tiles I can temporarily lay down for different purposes such as in a playroom, as a temporary gym space on top of wood or carpet to be able to drop my weights safely onto; outdoors on pavers, concrete or grass to lay down under an inflatable pool and protect it from imperfections in the concrete or grass; in the kitchen for added cushioning; or perhaps in the car as added protection for the occasional odd thing I need to move where I don’t want it to scratch or muck anything up.

Was this helpful?Are your 1” Monster Tiles suitable for outdoor installation? Is it ok for water to travel through and under the tiles? Will the granite color fade?
You can install our 1" Monster Rubber Tiles outdoors. Since these tiles feature a solid skin on top, water won't penetrate through the tiles but would flow off the top of the tiles and to the crack at the junction between two tiles. This will allow the water to get under the tiles and to flow to a drain or get absorbed into the dirt below. Our Monster Rubber Tiles are not UV stable, so the colors will fade over time.
