What is the difference between Budget Rubber Rolls and your standard rubber rolls?
Price. Budget Rubber Rolls use the same recycled rubber and the same non-slip surface as our standard gym rolls. They are made in the USA and carry the same 5-year limited warranty. The trade-off is lead time. Every roll is cut to order, so expect 5 to 10 business days. If you need a floor this week, one of our quick-ship rolls is the better pick.

Match the thickness to the load. 1/8" is for light-duty anti-slip and sound control, not weight training. 1/4" suits a basic home gym. 8mm works for home and light commercial gyms. 3/8" is the most popular thickness for commercial gyms and heavy equipment. 1/2" and 3/4" are there for heavier drops. Every thickness is a 4-foot-wide roll cut to your length.

Rolls are 4 feet wide and sold by the linear foot, so each foot covers 4 square feet. The minimum cut is 15 linear feet for most thicknesses, or 10 linear feet for 1/8". The longest single roll is 120 feet in 1/8" and 1/4". It is 100 feet in 8mm, 3/8" and 1/2", and 50 feet in 3/4". Anything longer ships as more than one roll.
Was this helpful?Do Budget Rubber Rolls need to be glued down?
No. You can lay them loose or hold them with double-sided tape around the perimeter of each roll. Polyurethane adhesive is for permanent installs. Lay the rolls out and let them relax for 24 to 48 hours first. Cut with a straight edge and a fresh utility knife blade. Leave a gap around the room about as wide as the roll is thick. If you glue, roll the floor with a 100-pound roller for a good bond.
Was this helpful?Can I use them in a garage or outdoors?
Yes in a garage, and outdoors only under cover. Garage gyms, basements, workshops, utility rooms, playrooms and pet areas all work, including under treadmills and bikes for floor protection. Covered patios and porches are fine. We do not recommend them in open areas that take rain, snow and direct sun.
Was this helpful?Will the color match if I order more rolls later?
Not always. Confetti and Natural are made from post-industrial recycled rubber, so shade varies between production runs. Order every roll for a room at the same time so it all comes from one run. Rolls are cut to order and ship in 5 to 10 business days. Orders over 1,000 square feet can need extra processing time.
