Was this helpful?If installing in an RV or camper is it easy to take out to clean? Is it easy to custom cut to desired dimensions? I.E., around seats and cabinets?
Cleaning of our Impact Rolls - Wood Series is very easy. Since the rolls are pretty heavy, it may be a bit difficult to pull the flooring out to clean, but there would be no real need to remove the flooring once installed. For any large dirt and debris, we recommend sweeping the floor with a broom. For any stuck-on dirt and debris, we recommend mopping the floor with a mild soap and water solution. Our Impact Rolls are very easy to cut with a sharp utility knife and straight-edge. Cutting these rolls around tables and cabinets is very easy when following this rule: measure twice, cut once.
Was this helpful?I currently own 5/8" Premium Soft Wood Tiles and have installed them in my yoga room at home over carpet. I have been having issues with these tiles move/shift/are too squishy, so I am looking for flooring that I can replace it with that will provide more firmness. Can I put this flooring over my carpet?
You can install our Impact Rolls - Wood Series over any hard, flat surface like concrete, asphalt, low-pile carpet, and the like. We don't recommend installing these rolls over carpet that has a thick pad as the rolls could separate, causing a tripping hazard when the pad is depressed. If you are trying to install over this type of flooring, we would recommend placing plywood over the carpet to prevent this.
Was this helpful?Can the Impact Roll-Wood Series withstand plyometric workouts such as P90X or T25? And if done wall to wall, can a dresser/furniture be placed on top?
Our Impact Rolls - Wood Series were designed with high impact workouts in mind, so these rolls are great for P90X, T25, and the like. They feature a non-porous top making them very easy to clean and sanitize. This also helps to mitigate the 'gym smell' so many people hate. Since these rolls feature an underlayment backing, these rolls are very shock absorbent, meaning your joints, especially your knees, will love you every time you workout. Our Impact Rolls are very durable and can withstand heavy furniture and equipment on them. The only thing you may notice, depending on how heavy the object is that is placed on the flooring, are indentations where the furniture has sat. If it is only placed on the flooring for a short period of time, then the indentations may go away. If it is there for a long period of time, then they may be there permanently. To prevent indentations, we recommend using furniture sliders under the legs of the furniture or equipment.

Was this helpful?I've had three basement floods. One was about 1.5 feet up the wall. If that happens again with this sort of flooring, is the flooring ruined or could it be picked up and laid out to dry and then re-installed? Also is double-sided tape needed for the installation? Basement rec room with a treadmill and stationary bike.
If you were to have another flood in your basement and you had our Impact Rolls - Wood Series installed, you could just pull up the rolls, clean them, and reinstall them. You wouldn't need to use any double-sided tape under these rolls as they are heavy enough to stay in place on their own. If you did get some movement with your flooring, you could add some double-sided tape to keep the flooring in place.

Was this helpful?How durable are the impact rolls wood series? I would like to put this in a gym floor which also serves as a multipurpose room where chairs and tables might be once in a while. (spills, food clean up, etc.) what happens if you install the roll with glue and a puncture happens, or a gouge is there a repair or you have to pull the whole roll up?
Our Impact Rolls - Wood Series are very durable and are great as a multi-use floor. When chairs and tables are in use on our flooring, we do recommend using furniture sliders under them to prevent andy dimpling that can happen when excess weight is put on either item. We also recommend picking up the tables and chairs when they are moved to prevent scratches. Since our Impact Rolls - Wood Series are non-porous, they are very easy to clean and maintain. So no matter what is spilled on the floor, you will be able to clean them easily. If you were to poke a hole in our flooring, there isn't a repair kit that can be used. If you have the missing piece of the flooring, you can use our Seam Sealer glue and replace the missing piece. If you can't replace the missing piece, you would have to pull up the roll and replace it.
Was this helpful?I have in-floor heating in the room where I am considering to place the impact roll - wood series flooring. How would the impact roll-wood series flooring act with respect to heat transfer in this case: allowing the heat to pass through or as acting as a heat insulator? If this product is not the best suited for the in-floor heating application, what other products that you have would you recommend instead for high impact flooring that does well when weight are dropped on it.
You can install our Impact Rolls - Wood Series over a floor heating system. These rolls are non-porous, so you will not get the benefits of the heating system like you would with say a porous tile. But the floor heating system will not damage the roll in any way, so you can use this as a gym floor for your home or business.
Was this helpful?I'm converting a bedroom into a home gym and considering the Impact Roll Wood Series. Does it have a rubber smell when placed? Will it maintain the rubber smell?
Our Impact Rolls - Wood Series, would have a slight rubber smell, but it is not very overpowering. The main smell you will have is from the vinyl top. This smell will dissipate over time, but to help that process along, we recommend using a mild soap and water solution on the floor.

Our Impact Rolls - Wood Series can be installed directly over concrete and are very easy to install. All you need to do is roll them out and cut them to fit your space. These rubber rolls are great for doing aerobics on and can handle fitness equipment being placed on them.

Was this helpful?Would the roll vs the tiles work better for a trade show? I want it to last and I have noticed that the tiles can peel over time and high heels can be bad for them. Does the roll require tape or will it just lay over the floor for the duration of a 2-day trade show?
Our Impact Rolls - Wood Series would be the best solution for any trade show. This roll gives you the wood look everyone craves without the drawbacks of foam tiles. These rolls will lay flat when rolled out and can be secured with double sided tape. One great quality of this roll is that it will not indent when people with high heels walk over the floor allowing you to use this for years to come.
Was this helpful?Can you further explain the heat welding, and is it the best option when installing over commercial low-pile carpet? Does the double-stick tape method work when installing over carpet. We're looking at a 2200 sq ft room.
Over low pile carpet, using a heat weld is not the best option. Since heat welding is used in permanent installations where glue is necessary, it would be best if the carpet were removed. If you are installing over low pile commercial carpet, we would recommend installing the rolls with double sided tape.
