More Information

Our 8 mm (5/16" thick) Strong Rubber Rolls are a great, all-around rolled rubber flooring product for both residential and commercial clients. The thickness is by far our most popular, perfect for a 'do it all' rubber flooring solution. This truly versatile rolled rubber flooring has been designed for customers looking for the ideal rubber flooring thickness, a product thicker than our 1/4" thick residential rubber rolls yet thinner than the 3/8" commercial grade rolls. The 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls offer a desirable low price, and is perfect for homeowners looking for more "cushion" than the 1/4" residential grade rolled rubber. The 8mm thick rolled rubber surface is an equally effective and substantiably durable flooring option for commercial use that can withstand all but the most extreme use both indoors and outdoors. As an additional perk, 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls are backed by an impressive industry-leading full 5-year warranty.

Recommended Uses: 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls are the perfect rubber flooring solution that offers a non-slip surface and anti-fatigue qualities. Custom cut 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls perform with excellence in a variety of locations: commercial weight rooms, fitness facilities, under exercise equipment, as basement flooring, home gym flooring, playroom flooring, in pet care facilities as dog kennel flooring, as horse stall mats, as locker room flooring (where spike protection might be needed), and also fit nicely over radiant heated floor systems. These highly versatile rubber rolls are also perfect for outdoor use, providing a protected, non-slip surface on decks, patios, boats, and boat docks. This rolled rubber flooring choice is truly the all-around, do-it-all flooring solution.

Quick Notes:

1. The Confetti and Natural colors are made from post-industrial recycled rubber. Confetti typically includes a mix of multiple colors, but the blend and percentage of each color vary with each production run—and in some cases, may consist entirely of neutral tones like grays. Natural is made from standard recycled rubber and whitewall car tires. As a result, color and shade variation is expected in both options.

2: Due to a recent material change, the shade of lipstick red may vary from previous orders.

3. Color variations may occur between separate orders. For the best consistency, we recommend ordering all rolls at the same time.

When installing rolled rubber flooring, choosing the right installation method for your project is important. The most common methods of adhering rubber rolls to the subfloor are:

A: Double-Sided Tape Installation

Ensure that the subfloor is clean, dry, and free of any debris.
Loosely lay the rubber rolls in the room to achieve your desired layout. Allow the rolls to relax for 24-48 hours to ensure proper installation.
Note: Rolls may be directional, so make sure the color matches on each roll. If the roll colors do not match, flip them or turn them 180 degrees to ensure the color matches.
Cut the rubber rolls to fit the room using a straight edge and a utility knife with a fresh blade. Leave a gap around the perimeter roughly the thickness of the rolls being used to account for expansion and contraction.
Roll up the rubber rolls at one end of the room. Apply double-sided tape to the subfloor along the perimeter of each roll.
Place the rubber rolls back into position on top of the double-sided tape.

B: Glue Installation

Ensure that the subfloor is clean, dry, and free of any debris or moisture.
Loosely lay the rubber rolls in the room to achieve your desired layout. Allow the rolls to relax for 24-48 hours to ensure proper installation.
Note: Rolls may be directional, so make sure the color matches on each roll. If the roll colors do not match, flip them or turn them 180 degrees to ensure the color matches.
Cut the rubber rolls to fit the room using a straight edge and a utility knife with a fresh blade. Leave a gap around the perimeter roughly the thickness of the rolls being used to account for expansion and contraction.
Roll up the rubber rolls at one end of the room. Spread a light layer of polyurethane adhesive that is 10 feet long (maximum) and unroll the flooring into the adhesive 10 feet at a time.
Repeat step 5 for every 10 feet of roll length until the entire roll has been unrolled into its desired position.
After all of the rolls have been glued down, it is recommended to use a 100-pound roller on the floor to guarantee good adherence to the subfloor. If a roller is not available, walking on the flooring in small choppy steps may also work.

Keeping your 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls clean and looking their best is easy with these simple maintenance tips:

Sweep or vacuum loose debris regularly to prevent buildup and minimize the risk of slips and falls.
For a deeper clean, simply damp mop the rubber rolls with a mild soap and water solution. We recommend using Dawn dish detergent or Tide laundry detergent.
Do not use any solvent or oil-based cleaners like Pinesol, Lysol, Murphy's Oil Soap, WD40, paint thinner, or similar products. These cleaners can break down the flooring over time and cause damage.

Questions

Customer Questions And Answer

Our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls do have a smell to them. Since they are made from rubber, it does smell like rubber. This smell will dissipate on its own over a few weeks. To help dissipate the rubber smell faster, we would recommend mopping the floor with a mild soap and water solution and then letting it air dry. You may have to repeat this process a few times. Ventilation is key, so if you can put fans in the area where the flooring will be installed and open some window, it will speed up the...

Water-based adhesives can be easily removed from our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls. We recommend not using any acetone or other harsh chemicals as they will destroy the rubber. With some soap, water, and elbow grease, you should be able to remove most water-based adhesives with ease.

Our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls are very durable and would be able to handle stools on them and beer being spilled on them. Rubber is more slip resistant when wet, so it will work perfect for your application. We would recommend using furniture sliders under the stools so they can be moved easier.

You would not need to put a vapor barrier under our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls. If you do have a moisture issue, you can either seal your concrete or place a vapor barrier under the flooring. But it is not required. Our rubber rolls are mold and mildew resistant making them great for any area that may have moisture issues.

Our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls can be installed as flooring in a boat. A great property of rubber flooring is that it is more slip resistant when wet. So you will be in a safer situation with these rolls as your flooring vs. other flooring types.

Our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls will not curl or buckle. As long as they are installed properly, you shouldn't have any issues. The only time we see any buckling would be from an improperly installed installation. Our rubber flooring will expand and contract, so we recommend placing an 8mm (5/16") expansion gap around the flooring to ensure proper expansion and contraction. For most residential applications, no glue or tape is needed to install our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls. They are heavy enough on their own to stay in place. If a particular exercise move caused a roll to move for some reason, you could add some double-sided tape under the roll. For commercial applications, we do recommend using double-sided tape or polyurethane adhesive to keep the rolls in place. In this situation, you could get away without using either, but because there could be a number of exercises performed on the flooring, we recommend a little bit of hold, so you don't have to go back later to add it.

There really isn't a great way to prevent a weight stack from leaving indentations. You could use furniture sliders, but you run the risk of the weight stack being unstable.

Our rubber flooring is very slip resistant and more slip resistant when wet, so you won't have to worry about slipping if some water were to get on the floor unlike when you have a tile or vinyl floor. Rubber is also shock absorbent, so if you were to drop something, it is more than likely to bounce rather than shatter into a million pieces. Now, rubber flooring is somewhat porous, so if you were to spill something and let it dry out, some of the dried up material might get in the floor, but not through. To prevent this, we recommend sealing the rubber flooring with our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer.

So our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls and all of our rolled rubber flooring is approximately 4' wide, but are not exactly that. So to create a seam that won't have gaps here and there what we recommend is to place one roll on top of the other to get the seam as straight as possible. The overlap on this doesn't have to be very large, a few inches at best. Once the seam is straight, you can use some double-sided tape under the rolls or place some seam sealer glue between the seam. Both methods will ensure that the rolls will not gap. You can also just use our seam sealer in conjunction with the double-sided tape without cutting the seams straight to keep them from gapping. The tape will keep the rolls in place and the seam sealer glue will lock and fill in the flooring.

If the peaks and the valleys in your subfloor are a 1/2" in height, then depending on where the tiles interlock, they may not interlock properly. Also, there is potential that if a peak if super sharp, it could puncture the tile if enough pressure is applied. We would recommend if you have major peaks and valleys in your subfloor that you fill in any valleys with a leveling compound. For any peaks, we would suggest grinding or sanding them down.
