Was this helpful?I have a 700 sq' playroom. Does the rubber floor require any material between it and the sub wood sheet floor? Our plan it to take out current carpet and replace with a rubber floor. want the floor to be really cushy so thinking the 5/8" tiles. Concern is heavy items we would place ontop. We have pinball machines, pool table, air hockey table, etc.. Can these items be placed on the rubber floor? Will the material crush leaving permanent indention in material?
You will not need anything under our Premium Soft Tiles when installing them over your subfloor. The tiles are made of foam which is similar to foam carpet padding. If you do place heavy items on the floor, the tiles will indent. To prevent this, we recommend the use of our Furniture Sliders.

The Premium Soft Tiles are not designed to handle the weight of heavy workout equipment, but they can be used for that purpose and many of our customers do. The weight of the equipment may leave permanent indentation in the tiles that it is on, but it will not rip the tile. These tiles make it easy to dampen some of the noise of some equipment while in use as well.
Was this helpful?Are there fire retardants on these mats?
We do not apply any specific flame retardants onto the foam mats, however they do meet and exceed 16 CFR 1500.44 Flammability of Solids testing. This means that the burn rate of a solid is below a specified amount that would classify it is any sort of fire hazard.
