Was this helpful?Would these mats serve as a good surface for an extra playground area for PreK students? We need an area where they can ride tricycles and play, thought these might be a great option.
Our 3/4" Extreme Mats can be used as flooring in a playground for areas where kids will be riding trikes and general play. If any playground equipment were to be placed in this area, we would recommend going with one of our Playground Flooring options as these products have been formulated to provide optimal safety while at play.
Was this helpful?Could this be used in a woodworking shop for comfort and sound insulation? Is it durable enough for this?
Our 3/4" Extreme Mats can be used as flooring in a woodworking shop. These mats are very easy to install and easy to clean. Since these rubber mats are somewhat porous, we recommend sealing the floor with our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer. This will prevent any small wood pieces from getting trapped in the pores in the mat. These mats will add ample comfort underfoot and will provide some insulation. These mats were designed to be used in horse stalls, so they are plenty durable.
Was this helpful?I have 3/4” mats in my garage and want to add more. The ones I currently have a smooth top layer. Are these mats smooth on the top?
The surface of our 3/4" Extreme Mats are smooth.
Was this helpful?Would this be good for a kid's playroom? Have hardwood and looking for easy clean up cushioning to add.
Our 3/4" Extreme Mats can be used as flooring in a kid's playroom, but we wouldn't recommend using them. These mats do have a pretty strong rubber smell, as they were initially designed for outdoor use. Also, these mats are somewhat porous, so they can be a little hard to keep clean. For playrooms, we recommend using our Foam Tile flooring. These are non-porous and are very easy to clean. We have tiles from 1/2" to 1" thick.
Was this helpful?Would this mat work well for decreasing vibration and noise if placed under a washing machine and dryer?
Our 3/4" Extreme Mats can be used as a vibration mat under a washer and dryer. These rubber mats are very thick and will reduce vibration and the dreaded 'washer walk'.
Was this helpful?I'm planning to build a weightlifting platform with these mats on the top layer. Most people I've seen build these platforms use standard horse stall mats, but they are out of stock everywhere. How well will these extreme mats take and hold a screw into a layer of wood below? Thank you.
Our 3/4" Extreme Mats can be used as flooring over a platform. These mats are the same as all the other horse stall mats that are sold elsewhere. These mats can be screwed into the platform with ease.
Was this helpful?Can you put this over radiant floors? Will is gas?
You can use our 3/4" Extreme Mats over radiant flooring. Since rubber is an insulator to a certain extent, you may not get the full effects of your radiant floor system if you were to install these rubber mats over it. Our rubber flooring does off-gas when you get the flooring, but this off-gassing is not due to being installed over radiant heating. Any smells that you notice, you can knock out by mopping the rubber flooring with a mild soap and water solution with a synthetic mop head.
Was this helpful?What side should be up? Textured or smooth?
If your 3/4" Extreme Mat comes with both a smooth and textured size, the smooth side would be the top.
Was this helpful?Will these hold up under the weight of a 700lb safe? Or will they smoosh? Thanks!
Our Extreme Mats can have a car parked on them, so they are able to hold thousands of lbs in weight.
Was this helpful?Are these mats made of vulcanized rubber? Do they crumble and leave rubber pieces after some use?
Our 3/4" Extreme Mats are not vulcanized. These mats do have the potential to crumble a bit, but it should not be excessive to the point where the mat is fully falling apart. If the mat is from standard use, please reach out to one of our Flooring Heroes via email, phone, or chat, and they will be more than happy to assist you.
Was this helpful?Are these mats strong enough to be used in a barn holding the weight of an 1800 lb dairy cow? We are searching for stall mats for our milking room in our barn.
Our 3/4" Extreme Mats were designed to be used as agriculture mats and have been used in horse stalls, milking rooms, and the like for years before they became popular in gyms, Cross Fit to be specific. So, yes, these rubber mats will be able to withstand the weight of a cow and are perfect for this use. They are very easy to clean and maintain and are very slip-reisistant, even more so when wet. They also are resistant to mold and mildew growth and are anti-fungal.

Was this helpful?We have a 16'x18' foot gym in our home. On the first floor w/ a concrete foundation. We like the size and thickness of the mat and want to know if it would be possible to fill the room with them as a floor. Is there another product with the same thickness that you would recommend in place of this product?
You can use our 3/4" Extreme Mats as a full floor. When installing these rubber mats as a full floor, we recommend installing the mats in a brick pattern. Since the mats are not trued, some mats may be slightly larger or smaller. Installing them in this pattern will help to minimize any gnarly sightlines. You don't have to glue the mats down, but if you did want to adhere the mats, we recommend using either our Double Sided Carpet Tape or a polyurethane adhesive.
Was this helpful?What are the differences between the 3/4" Extreme mats vs. the 3/4" Premium Extreme mats in black?
The main difference between our Extreme Mats and our Premium Extreme Mats is that our Premium Extreme Mats are vulcanized. This means that they are harder and more durable than our Extreme Mats. This does not mean our Extreme Mats aren't durable; it is just the main difference between the two. These mats were designed for different types of uses. For anyone looking to do high impact workouts, our Extreme Mats are the perfect mat for you. These mats are very shock absorbent and will help to cushion your joints while working out. If you want to drop super heavy weight, our Premium Extreme Mats is the mat for you. These mats are able to help protect your subfloor from the dropping of heavy weights.
Was this helpful?How do you link several mats together if you have a 8' x 24' space? I don't want to have uneven seams.
When installing these mats in a room, we recommend installing them in a brick pattern. The mats themselves do not interlock or link. You can use double-sided carpet tape or glue to adhere the mats to your subfloor, or you can use seam sealer glue to adhere the mats together.
Was this helpful?Are the 2 sides of the stall mat smooth, or does one side have more texture and grooves? If they're both smooth, is there another product that does have this feature?
You will find a texture to the bottom of our Extreme Mats on the Natural and sometimes with our Black and Colored mats.
