Was this helpful?Can this be used in a public elevator at a hotel? There will be wheeled carts on it often.
Our Impact Rolls - Wood Series can be used as flooring in a hotel elevator. These rolls were designed to be used as multi-use flooring in gyms. They are commonly used as flooring for indoor basketball courts, in aerobics rooms, dance flooring, and much more. As long as the flooring is glued down, wheeled carts would not damage the flooring. Due to the high traffic, the only thing you would notice is some wear and tear over time.
Was this helpful?How come the rubber does not react and stain the vinyl?
The rubber underlayment doesn't stain the vinyl top because of the bonding agent used to fuse the two parts together. This acts as a barrier between the two preventing a reaction.
Was this helpful?Can you use this flooring in a 3 season room? The room gets full sun during the day; will it fade? We are in Buffalo, so in the summers, the room gets very hot and in the winter very cold. Can the flooring withstand these temperatures?
Our Impact Rolls - Wood Series can be installed in a 3 season room. These rolls are very durable and are able to withstand the elements. The rolls are not UV stable, so they can fade over time in direct sunlight. The only thing you will notice about the rolls throughout the year if they are not glued down is that they will expand and contract with extreme hot and cold. Other than that, these vinyl topped rubber rolls will not be damaged by any temperature variances.

Was this helpful?I’m looking to install these in my hot yoga studio. The studio will have infrared heating panels hanging overhead and high humidity. Will these floors be able to withstand the heat? Will they become slippery when wet?
Impact Rolls - Wood Series is approved for use in hot yoga studio applications, and can withstand the heat that is produced in this environment. We would recommend heat welding the seams and gluing the rubber to make sure the floor doesn't expand and contract too much when in use. Since these rubber rolls have a vinyl top, they can become slippery when wet. These rolls have been installed in hot yoga studios around the country, and most people just lay towels around to help minimize and slip hazards.
Was this helpful?Would the Impact wood rolls work for a space that is used for ballet and karate?
Our Impact Rolls - Wood Series can be used as a multi-use floor for ballet and karate. The rolls do have some slip, which allows ballet shoes to turn properly and are dense enough not to cause issues when performing dances on it. For karate, this rubber roll does provide some shock absorbency, but if it's not enough, foam tiles can be added on top to provide ample shock absorbency. These vinyl-topped rubber rolls are very easy to clean and sanitize and are mold and mildew resistant.
Was this helpful?Does it make any sense to try putting this on stairs? How would I even go about doing that safely?
You can install our Impact Rolls - Wood Series on stairs. Since these rolls are not super flexible, you would actually cut the roll to fit the stairs. You would use our polyurethane adhesive to keep the pieces attached to the stairs and then a stair nose or cap to the area where the two pieces meet. This will help to protect the flooring from the foot traffic. Now since the rolls feature a vinyl top, they can become slippery when wet. So you may want to add something on top of them to add some slip resistance if being used for commercial use or in areas where water may be present.
Was this helpful?Can this be installed in a daycare? Also can this be cut to take the shape of the room?
Our Impact Rolls - Wood Series can be installed in a daycare. These rolls are very durable and are super easy to clean and sanitize. They are easy to cut with a sharp utility knife and a straight edge to fit any space.

This floor is water proof or water resistant. Also what are the difference of the two and the "impact series HD" that i slightly more expensive.
Impact Rolls - Wood Series is approved for use in hot yoga studio applications, you would want to be sure to heat weld the seams if using multiple rolls for added waterproofing. The Impact Roll Wood HD has a higher definition print image than the regular Impact Wood roll.
