I am looking for a mat to put below my bike trainer, primarily to help absorb vibration and reduce sound. This is not a heavy gym spin bike, it is a rear-wheel bike trainer, so it's relatively light. However, it would be in a fixed location on the mats. Given my priorities (reducing vibration and sound), would you recommend these HD Soft Tiles or should I go with a rubber mat that will hold up better to the trainer sitting on it in the same position? Thanks!
These Premium HD Soft Tiles are great at absorbing noise from all sorts of workout and can be great at dampening sounds from vibrations. Because these tiles are made from high density foam they will indent a bit with heavy equipment. For equipment with a narrower base (like a exercise bike) we would suggest going with a rubber product like the 8mm Strong Rubber Rolls and our 3/8" Heavy Duty Rubber Rolls which will not indent and cause any imbalance while you're on the machine.
Was this helpful?Hi - are these formaldehyde and toxin free?? Do you test for formaldehyde?
Formaldehyde is not used in the making of foam tiles. Formamide is, and we test to make sure it is not used in the making of our foam tiles. All of our tiles are tested for this chemical and are free of any formamide use. You can get a copy of this testing on our site when you click the 'Kid Safe' icon.
Was this helpful?Does this tile have a smell? Like a VOC smell? I figure the rubber mats you have a smell, but foam might be different? Please let me know.
Our 3/4" Premium HD Soft Tiles don't have much of a smell to them at all. If you are sensitive to smells, our foam tiles are one of our safest bets for not affecting you. If for some reason, you are very sensitive to smells, you can always mop our flooring with a mild soap and water solution.
Was this helpful?Your Premium Soft Tiles suggest they can be used for garage gyms, does this assume cars are parked on them in the garage as well?
Our Premium HD Soft Tiles are made out of foam, so we do not suggest driving over them or parking on them.

The backside of our 3/4" Premium HD Soft Tiles is smooth.
Was this helpful?Is this safe to use on top of luxury vinyl plank (LVP) floors? I’m looking for something to put over my LVP that is non slip for working out. I will also put a spin bike on it. I have read rubber tiles can stain LVP.
These Premium HD Soft Tiles would be great to protect your floors and create a soft workout environment. Since these tiles are made with a stable EVA foam, they do not have any issues associated with staining LVP like you may experience with poorly made rubber products. The EVA foam is great on all surfaces.
Was this helpful?Are these tiles able to be cut with a utility knife (or similar) fairly easily?
Our 3/4" Premium HD Soft Tiles can be cut with a sharp utility knife. They are made of high-density foam, so a few cuts may need to be had to cut through them, but these tiles do cut fairly easily.
