I am a massage therapist, which means I'm on my feet a lot. Would these be ideal for my massage room? I'm wanting something that is comfortable to stand on for long periods and easy to clean.
These tiles wouldn't be as close to an anti-fatigue mat as our 1" MMA tiles. Anti-fatigue mats are the most common foam floor product found in massage rooms, however our MMA tiles are very thick and have enough cushion and spring that they are a very good substitute. Impact Rubber Tiles do not have the same level of absorbency, as they are made more for workout spaces where friction is needed.

If you were to attach edges to opposing sides of a single tile it would measure 25" across.
Was this helpful?I bought 3/4 impact rubber tiles last May. I was wanting to purchase more, but I only see the black and blue available. I need the gray and black! Will you ever have them again?
Yes! Our Impact Tiles have been incredibly popular and we are temporarily sold out. We will have more available soon!
Was this helpful?Do these tiles come with the outer border to snap in for a finished edge? Thank you.
Yes, Impact Rubber Tiles come with two edge pieces for every tile so that you can create a nice finished edge on your mat configuration.
Was this helpful?are beveled edge pieces available for these 3/4" high impact tiles
Currently we do not offer beveled edges for our Impact Rubber Tiles.
Was this helpful?Do the 3/4” Impact Rubber Tiles have an odor?
Our Impact Rubber Tiles have very minimal odor. All fresh rubber products have that rubbery smell and these are no exception. However that smell will fade quickly. We do not use harsh chemical products to adhere our rubber to the foam and we only use non-toxic materials.
Was this helpful?Are there any transition reducer options that match the interlocking pattern of your 3/4" Impact Rubber Tiles? Or any 3/4" transition reducers or non-ADA 3/4" edge ramps in general?
Unfortunately we do not currently have a ramp for 3/4" transition ramp.
Was this helpful?Can you put a weight bench in this mat or is it too soft?
Our 3/4" Impact Rubber Tiles are great for exercise rooms and could be used under a weight bench. Because the bulk of the tile is made from high density foam, the weight bench may cause the tile to indent. To make sure the equipment stays stable on the tile we suggest using a furniture slider or some other surface to help distribute the weight. These tiles will absolutely help absorb any noise from the bench from vibrating through any floor as well.
Was this helpful?I'm just checking on the safety of these tiles before we buy them. It says they're made out of recycled rubber. Does that include old tires? Thank you!
Our 3/4" Impact Rubber Tiles are very safe and are tested on a regular basis to ensure they are safe. These tiles feature a recycled rubber top that is backed by a high-density EVA foam. The black part of the rubber is made from recycled tires, and the grey or blue flec is made from EPDM.
Was this helpful?The second-floor unit is being rented to a tenant that conducts Zumba classes. When the classes start, it shakes the building and windows. It almost feels like an earthquake. It makes it unbearable for the tenant below her. What flooring do you recommend for this kind of problem? Would your most high impact flooring be a good solution?
Our 3/4" Impact Rubber Tiles are a great solution to reduce impact noise from one floor to the other but aren't the best flooring option for a person conducting Zumba classes. These tiles don't have the right amount of slip to ensure a person doesn't hurt themself when they are doing some of the dance moves. We would recommend using our Impact Rolls - Wood Series, our one of our dance floors with subfloor packages to help with the sound transference.
Was this helpful?How firm are these tiles? How do they compare to the complete rubber tiles cushion-wise? I'm concerned they will have too much "give" for weightlifting and be a little too soft. I want something that's nice and firm with just a small amount of cushion for joint comfort.
The foam used to construct our 3/4" Impact Rubber Tiles is high-density foam. This foam is denser than our standard foam tiles providing support and cushion at the same time. These tiles are some of the best gym flooring options for anyone looking for a durable, high-impact floor for their home or commercial gym.
Was this helpful?Is it easy to sweep on the 3/4 Impact Rubber Tiles?
You can easily sweep our 3/4" Impact Rubber Tiles with a broom or a brushless vacuum.
Was this helpful?Can these be used to dribble a basketball on? Looking for something to protect the floor and help soundproof indoor dribbling.
Yes, you can dribble a basketball on top of our 3/4" Impact Rubber Tiles and the 3/8" version.
Was this helpful?Can I put workout equipment such as a treadmill and elliptical on these tiles without damage?
You can place fitness equipment over our Soft Rubber Tiles without the flooring getting damaged. Even those these tiles have a rubber top, they still can indent a bit when equipment is placed over them. To help prevent this, we recommend placing furniture sliders under the feet of the equipment.
Was this helpful?Can these tiles be installed in a home kitchen?
Our 3/4" Soft Rubber Tiles can be installed as flooring in a home kitchen. These tiles have a rubber top that is slip resistant even when wet and are very easy to clean and maintain. These tiles have a foam backing for added comfort underfoot. This foam padding also helps to make the tiles non-porous which is great when spills happen. Now you won't have to worry about messes getting under the tiles.
Was this helpful?I am building a home gym {about 400 sq ft) Planning on putting a stepper and all in one machine along with a couple of treadmills. Will this hold up to this equipment? My wife and I like the thicker tile because it is softer to walk on.
You can place fitness equipment over our 3/4" Soft Rubber Tiles. These tiles are a combination of foam and rubber, so there is potential for the fitness equipment to indent the tiles. Depending on how long the equipment is on the flooring, this indentation may become permanent. To prevent this, we recommend placing furniture sliders under the equipment.
Was this helpful?Can these rubber tiles be put in a garage where cars will be coming and going?
Our 3/4" Soft Rubber Tiles would not be recommended for use in a garage where cars would be coming and going. These tiles are a foam tile with a rubber top and would not be able to withstand the constant coming and going of a car on a daily basis.
Was this helpful?Can this be installed over an electric heated floor system?
You can install our 3/4" Soft Rubber Tiles over an electric floor heating system. Since these tiles are non-porous, you will not get the full benefits of the floor heating system once the tiles are installed.
Was this helpful?Can these be installed over a low pile carpet in the basement?
Our 3/4" Soft Rubber Tiles can be installed over low pile commercial carpet in a basement. These interlocking tiles are perfect as a basement floor. They help to insulate from the cold and are mold and mildew resistant. Also, if your basement were to become flooded, all you would have to do is pick up the tiles, clean them and allow them to dry. Once dry you can reinstall them. Thes tiles when installing over plush carpet may become separated as the pad under the carpet become depressed. Other than that these tiles are perfect over any hard, flat flooring surface.
Was this helpful?I would like to use these on a finished basement floor which is a workout and family room. Some of the foam products say "Foam products can be punctured by sharp animal nails, rough use, high heels, and moving furniture." Would these tiles be able to handle those sorts of things without puncturing?
Our 3/4" Soft Rubber Tiles are our top of the line foam/rubber tiles and feature a rubber top over a foam base. This rubber top helps to prevent puncturing from animal nails, rough uses, high heels and the like, while the foam base helps to give you, added shock absorption and bounce.
