Looking at the Soft Flex Tiles for a shower floor. It says they are "soft to walk on and mold and mildew resistant", but nothing about Slip/Skid resistance. Are these tiles slip resistant?
Our Soft Flex Tiles are slip resistant. These tiles are vented allowing water to flow through and under the tiles to a drain. This keeps water from pooling on top of the tiles creating a safe and slip resistant flooring surface.

You can install our Soft Flex Tiles on a wood patio where furniture will be.

Our Soft Flex Tiles would definitely be softer than concrete. That being said, they are not really designed for impact resistance so we can not make any claims regarding fall protection. We do sell fall height-rated flooring that can be found under our playground category.

Was this helpful?How much weight are the tiles capable of supporting? I’m looking for wet area tiles for installing as home gym flooring that will need to support a power rack that can weight upward of 1000 lbs depending on how many weight plates are used. I’d like to have a surface that’s soft enough to be comfortable to exercise on but durable enough to support home gym equipment.
Our Soft Flex Tile is a PVC product that is used for shower/locker rooms rather than high impact/load areas. Hence, we do not recommend using these in home-gyms. Please use our rubber tiles, rubber rolls, or rubber mats for this purpose. The rubber products will provide you the cushion you need and also handle the heavyweights.

Was this helpful?Are these flexible enough to use in a walkway with a slight slope at one end and contains a few small tree roots? How are they secured to the ground to prevent slippage? I'm disabled and am a fall risk. My walkway has become a muddy slippery mess.
Our Soft Flex Tiles are made of flexible PVC and can be used for your purpose. If needed, you can use any type of utility knife to cut our Soft Flex Tiles around the tree roots. These tiles can be installed directly on the ground and the weight of the tiles will keep them in place. However, since these tiles are vented, there is potential for them to still get muddy, so these may not be the best solution to your issue. We do offer deck tiles that may be better suited for your installation. You can find our range of deck tiles on our Composite Decking page.
