Was this helpful?You have me convinced, this is great for dropping heavy barbells, however much does it flex/dampen under your feet when squatting heavy weights? More than 225lbs. Would you recommend something different for that activity?
You personally will not notice any dampening or flexing of the mat when you drop heavy weights on our Shock Mats. These mats are preferred by anyone doing heavy Olympic lifts due to this fact.
Was this helpful?Do the mats actually interlock like individual tiles or do the mats need to be joined by tape or something to create a rough 8 ft by 8 ft mat?
Our Shock Mats are beveled all around with the only interlocking section being the interlocks to join the 2-piece mat together. If you wanted to join multiple mats together, we would suggest placing some double-sided tape under the mats. To truly make a larger area with these mats, we recommend buying our Shock Tiles. This tile is made the same was as the Shock Mats but in a tile form.
Was this helpful?Do these mats interlock if I want to buy four (4) ?

Was this helpful?I want to drop 400 lbs overhead on this mat, with bumper plates, in my garage. Will my neighbors have to worry about the sound?
Our 3/4" Shock Mats will greatly reduce the noise generated from dropping weights, but will not eliminate the noise. So depending on how hard you drop the weights, there is potential for your neighbors to hear you still.
Was this helpful?Are the shock mats good for absorbing the impact of Atlas stones? I want to put one in my basement at home. Thank you.
Our Shock Mats would be great for absorbing the impact from Atlas Stones. These mats are vulcanized, which means they are built strong and are very durable. These mats have a waffled back, which helps to disperse the impact of the stones on your subfloor, helping to protect it.
Was this helpful?Will this mat survive being rained on?
Our 3/4" Shock Mats are very weather resistant and would not be affected by the elements. These mats are vulcanized mats meaning they are very durable and are non-porous. The only thing you will notice that over time, the mats will fade in direct sunlight.
Was this helpful?If I purchase one 4' x 8' mat will the two pieces have a flat side to push together?
Our 4' x 8' mats come in two pieces that have an interlocking edge in the middle.
Was this helpful?Can these mats be cut down to size using a standard utility knife? If not, can they be cut by some other convenient method?
You can cut our 3/4" Shock Mats with a sharp utility knife and a straight edge. Since these mats are vulcanized and are 3/4" thick, it will take a few cuts to get through the mats. The only other type of knife that you could try to use on the mats is a sharp bread knife, but that too will take some elbow grease to get through these mats.
Was this helpful?Can these be placed under a treadmill that uses rolling wheels to incline? Also, will they tend to slip on a carpeted floor?
You can place a treadmill with wheels over our 3/4" Shock Mats. The wheels will not damage the rubber mats as these mats are vulcanized, making them more durable than standard rubber flooring. These mats are very heavy and have a bottom that helps to make them slip resistant. If for some reason while working out on the mats were to move, you can use some double-sided tape under the mats to keep them in place.
Was this helpful?I do step aerobics over ceramic tiles. My problem with other mats is that they move as I workout. Will this hold its place, not slip?
Our 3/4" Shock Mats will stay in place when doing aerobics on them over ceramic tile. These mats are beveled and have good traction on the bottom. If for some reason, there were movement, we suggest adding some double-sided tape to the bottom of the mats.
Was this helpful?Is the top of the 3/4" shock mats ok for bare feet?
The top of our 3/4" Shock Mats is ok for bare feet. The top texture is a slight diamond pattern, but it is not pokey, so it will not cause discomfort when walked upon.
