I'm interesting in installing turf in my football themed basement. What is the recommended method of applying the yard lines, team logo, etc? Is there speciality paint? Is the paint more commonly done as a DIY project or applied by a professional?
To add lines to our Turf Tiles, you can use a variety of white paints, both removable and permanent. Installation of these lines can be done by anyone whether an amateur or professional. Just have to make sure you chalk out your lines so that they look straight and professional.

Our Turf Tiles use a nylon fiber will fade in the sun, so we don't recommend their use outdoors. You can use them outdoors if you are ok with this. As long as the base is solid, these tiles will work great for your pet area.

Our Turf Tiles feature a rubber base that will allow you to place fitness equipment over them. There is no weight maximum. The only issue you may run into is that when the equipment is moved, there may be an indentation where the equipment was. To fix this, we recommend brushing the turf fibers with a push broom. There is not guarantee that the fibers will return to their original state, but you can at least get the turf close.

Was this helpful?I’m looking to make a golf room, I was wondering if you could cut this in pieces. Also is it very bulky?
For golf rooms. we recommend using our Putting Green Turfs which you can find here https://www.rubberflooringinc.com/putting-green-turf.html. We also carry pre-cut putting green mats that are not bulky.
Was this helpful?What is the feel of the flooring? Considering it for a space that would have people walking, but also sitting, young children crawling on it, etc.
The Turf Tiles are good for people walking and sitting, but we wouldn't recommend it for young children crawling on it since it can be a little abrasive for them. To serve your purpose best, we recommend the 5/8" Soft Turf Tiles. These tiles are soft and non-abrasive, and also perforated so they would do a good job at draining as well if water is spilled on them.
Was this helpful?Will these tiles interlock with the rubber tiles for a workout space?
Our Turf Tiles do not currently lock with any of our rubber tiles. You can cut the tabs off of our rubber tiles and our Turf Tiles to install them next to each other. You then would just use our Seam Sealer glue to keep them in place.
Was this helpful?I'm interested in using these in my basement. How do they handle slight moisture?
Our Turf Tiles are able to handle moisture very well. These tiles are mold and mildew resistant and are very easy to clean and maintain. Since these tiles are interlocking tiles, in the event of a major flooding event, you can pick up the tiles, clean them off and replace them.
Was this helpful?Can these tiles be cleaned with a shampoo cleaner like a Rug Doctor or something similar?
To clean your Turf Tiles, we recommend using a vacuum or broom to clean off any large dirt and debris. For any stuck on dirt and debris, we recommend treating those messes with a mild soap and water solution and rag.
Was this helpful?Can these be vacuumed?
Our Turf Tiles can be vacuumed with a suction style vacuum.
Was this helpful?Can the turf be used in a garage where a car is parked?
Our Turf Tiles can be installed in a garage. If a car were to be driven over these tiles, you might see some depression in the turf where the car is parked. This indentation may never spring back. Also, if there is any dirt or oil on the tires, some staining may occur that may not come out. Depending on how you drive in and out of the garage, there may be some separation of the tiles.
