I would use this in front of a dartboard - real steel-tip darts. Would a dart, dropped from, say 6' penetrate the rubber and make contact with my floor surface underneath?
You can use our 8mm Strong Rubber Tiles for this application. The dart would penetrate the tile, but would not penetrate all the way through to the floor underneath. The rubber tiles would act like the typical cork boards that are used around dart boards, but it would be better since it is more durable and would last longer.

Our 8mm Strong Rubber Tiles will allow a ball to bounce on them. If you are using these tiles as a basketball court, we do recommend adhering these tiles as they can separate while performing certain basketball moves. You can first start out with no adhesive and then if need be, go to double-sided tape and if the tiles are still moving our 5900 adhesive.

The temperature will fluctuate between 30-35 F at night sometimes in the winter and 95 degrees during the day in the summer. Would these tiles be suitable for this application?
Our 8mm Strong Rubber Tiles can be installed under a large patio where there will be temperature fluctuations. To help alleviate these issues we recommend installing the tiles with an expansion gap of about 1/2" to allow for the flooring to properly expand and contract.

Was this helpful?We have a condo in Florida on the beach that is about 150 sq ft. The building is old and has moved a bit over time due to the fact that its built on sand and has withstood a major hurricane. Consequently, most conventional coverings like tile are out as one area has a significant hump and there is also some unevenness due to overlapping "membranes" on it. Moreover, this area gets wet from salt spray regularly. So...will this product ride over our "humps" and will it get slimy?/mildewy either on top or underneath from the elements?
Our 8mm Strong Rubber Tiles are very durable, but will not lay perfect if there are major issues with the floor. For floors with humps, we recommend using a rubber roll. Our 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls are made from the material but in a roll format. They are resistant to mold and mildew growth and will not get slimy from the elements. One issue you may run into is that salt may get in the pores of the floor.
