To prevent this dimpling, we recommend using furniture sliders under the feet of the equipment.
Was this helpful?Hi, can I use this product (Impact Rolls - Designer Series) for the Badminton Courts? Is 8mm enough for this kind of indoor sport? I just need rolls that are not too soft and too hard.
Technically, yes, our 8mm Impact Rolls - Designer Series can be used as a badminton court, but they are not the best choice for this. For courts used for sports, we recommend using one of our court floors in conjunction with our rubber underlayment. This will not only give you a floor that has enough slip not to cause injury, but also a court that is shock absorbent enough to keep your joints safe. You can find all of our court flooring options on our court flooring page.

Was this helpful?For the 95% color options, is it 95% EPDM by weight throughout the entire product? What is the actual percentage of SBR and EPDM in the entire product? Is the EPDM recycled or virgin? Does this apply to other products?
The 95% refers to the color-fleck ratio in the top wear layer, not the EPDM content of the whole product. The color EPDM granules are virgin, and the base layer is recycled SBR rubber, bonded with a polyurethane binder. Overall, the 95% color options contain approximately 70% recycled content. Our 15mm Impact Rubber Rolls - Designer Series uses the same construction, with approximately 80% recycled content because of its thicker base layer.
