Are the tiles themselves 2'x2' or does that include the removable ends pieces in the 2'x2' measurement? Also, I was considering this for a home pilates studio. I don't mind if the tiles indent from the pilates reformer, however, will the forward and backward impact on the machine cause the tiles to rip?
Our Premium Soft Wood Tiles are 2' x 2' with the removable edge pieces. With them removed the tiles are 23.38" x 23.38". These tiles can be used under a Pilates Reformer since the machine itself is stationary. The weight of the machine will create an indentation in the tiles. So if you were to move the machine you could move the tiles that were placed underneath it to hide the damaged tiles. If you are looking for a product that will hold up better to the weight of the machine, I would suggest using our Impact Rolls - Wood Series. This product gives you the look of wood with a durable vinyl top layer.

Was this helpful?Can the rubber tiles be used on stairs?
Our Premium Soft Wood tiles can be used on stairs. The veneer on these tiles may not stand up to the traffic that is found on stairs, but they can be installed on them. To install these tiles to stairs you will need to glue them with a pressure sensitive adhesive. Our 5000 series adhesive works well for this application.
Was this helpful?Can you apply these tiles over carpet or do you have to pull up the carpet before putting the tiles down.
Our Premium Soft Wood Tiles can be placed over a commercial grade low pile carpet with ease. Over high pile carpet, there is a chance the tiles will separate creating a tripping hazard.
Was this helpful?Are all of the straight edge pieces included? Also, can these be put over carpet or does it have to be removed first?
Each Premium Soft Wood Tile comes with two removable edge pieces. These will allow you to create corner, border and center tiles. These soft tiles can be placed over commercial grade carpet with ease. If you have thick pile carpet, the tiles can be placed over it. But there is potential for the foam tiles to separate.
Was this helpful?We are doing a combination exercise room - (exercise bike and total gym along with some 40 lb free weights, sauna) & sewing room. I want wood grain. I need to be able to roll an office chair on it. This is a large room and would need to be economical.
Our 5/8" Premium Soft Wood Tiles are made of foam and are not meant to be used in high traffic areas or in areas where the floor will be put under enormous stress like weight rooms and the like. We have had customers use our flooring in these situations, but they understood that the flooring may peel over time and that these tiles will indent under heavy furniture and equipment. To prevent this, we recommend placing furniture sliders under the furniture or equipment. Rolling chairs on this floor would not work super well. If you were to use one, you would need to get a chair mat. This will not only protect the tiles from damage but also allow the chair to roll properly across the floor.

Was this helpful?Is there any way to remove or lighten up the scuff marks that have appeared after installation and cleaning?

Was this helpful?What the best way to cut the tiles? A straight edge and razor? Or table saw? A friend bought these and I'm going to help install them
The best way to cut our 5/8" Premium Soft Wood Tiles is a sharp utility knife and a straight edge. We do not recommend using a table saw due to the fact the tile will melt as the blade is cutting it.

Was this helpful?How are the premium soft wood tiles cleaned?
Our Premium Soft Wood Tiles can be cleaned with a clean cloth or mop and mild soap and water solution. For large debris, we recommend using a broom.
Was this helpful?How much weight can tile handle? Will it help with cold floor? I'm looking to put them on top of our ceramic tile floor and put TV stand and sofa on top of soft wood foam tile.
Our Premium Soft Wood Tiles are made of foam, so any amount of weight will cause them to depress to varying degrees. Since these tiles are made with closed cell EVA foam, they will provide you with excellent insulating properties. For any heavy furniture, we recommend using Furniture Sliders underneath the furniture legs to prevent permanently damaging the floor.
Was this helpful?I'm putting these on hardwood floors, turning a dining room into a play room. What do I use for a transition piece into the kitchen/foyer so people don't trip. The 14mm was too high for the rubber transition piece you offer and I don't want a lot of additional expense. Thanks!
Our Premium Soft Wood Tiles do not currently have a transition piece for them, but you can use any standard flooring trim piece to finish your floor.
Was this helpful?I am looking for a flooring I can install easily over tile floor. This is for elderly parents that are prone to falling. They use walkers.
Since our Premium Soft Wood Tiles are made of foam they would be great for falls, but may not work well when a person is using a walker. We do have a product that would work perfect for both falls and also allowing a walker to be used, and that is our Impact Rolls - Wood Series. These rolls feature a vinyl top with a shock absorbent rubber bottom. These rolls will help to absorb the impact of the fall and will also allow for a walker or wheel chair to easily roll over the floor.
Was this helpful?Can heavy furniture like a bookshelf be placed on the Premium Soft Wood foam tiles?
You can place heavy furniture over our Premium Soft Wood tiles, but know that if you place the heavy furniture over the flooring that it will leave indentations in the flooring. To prevent this, we recommend placing furniture sliders under the furniture to prevent indentations.
Was this helpful?Is the tile appropriate for pivoting at a higher speed on with barefeet? With some foam tiles the barefoot sticks to it during a turn?
You can pivot barefoot on our Premium Soft Wood Tiles. The top on these tiles is just slick enough to create control slip which will help to make doing pivots easier.
Was this helpful?I'm looking for flooring for a kids yoga studio. Are the dark maple tiles slippery? The class is very active and we are often off of the yoga mats and running around on the floor. If they are slippery, is there another option you'd recommend?
Our 5/8" Premium Soft Wood Tiles can be slippery if you are wearing socks on the tiles. With bare feet, these tiles are pretty slip-resistant. If a good deal of sweat and other liquids do get on the floor, then you may need to wipe it up before running around on the tiles to eliminate the slipping hazard.
