1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls Reviews

Great product – easy to measure and order. Installation was a breeze. Two sided tape is the way to go! Not the cleanest picture – but we just drilled the holes for the gym rack.

Great product - very heavy duty. Discovered about 1/3 of the way into my project that you can use the cardboard tubes the product ships around to help cut the rubber. Score 2-3 times with a utility knife (frequently changing blades) using a t-square as shown in the rubber flooring inc videos but then, for these very thick ones, position the tube underneath where you are cutting and with one hand behind (out of the way) of the blade stroke, spread the rubber over the cardboard tube. This way your knife isn't also ″fighting″ the friction of the 1/2″ rubber. Works great!

Just put down five 16' long 1/2″ thick rolls in my basement for a home gym and it looks great - like a commercial gym really. I love it. Be warned though, each roll weighed close to 200 lbs, so they are tough to work with. At 1/2″ thick they are tough to cut as well. I used a utility knife, but it takes maybe half a dozen passes to cut all the way through the roll. My basement is unfinished and one wall of my gym is still open, so I went ahead and glued it down. If your space is wall to wall you could probably get by without the adhesive. It's heavy, and rubber - so not like it is really going to be sliding all over the place. I'm very pleased with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a high quality home gym.

I am a powerlifter that puts this rubber flooring to the test. I spent some money and got the 1/2 inch thick. I have a slab underneath with laminate on top of that. I can drop an Olympic 7 foot bar with 350 lbs. (and more) on this floor no problem without damaging my bar, my weights, or the floor (which is what happens when you are dead lifting heavy weight). Worth every penny. Don't waste your time buying some cheap crap that will flake off and fall apart. Plus it looks awesome and also absorbs the sound blasting in my home gym from the super loud speakers. Do your self a favor and buy the good stuff. This floor will last forever. If you really want to make the rack area super badass then put an extra piece on each side of the rack and that way you are dropping your bar on a full inch of solid rubber. This is what I did :)and yes I will send a picture of the gym area where my rack is.

After scouring the internet extensively for gym flooring options, I decided on rubberflooringinc, as its website had the most informative detail on flooring, and the quality of the reviews seemed the most consistent and highest. Moreover, it seemed that rubberflooringinc was the only one to distinguish among the different types of recycled rubber, which gave me confidence that it used the highest quality recycled rubber available. This was important, since the better the rubber, the less the smell. There was one website that offered virgin rubber mats, but their cost was prohibitively expensive. The phone representative at rubberflooringinc that helped me with sizing, and placed my order was courteous and knowledgable. Nearly a week earlier than scheduled, the delivery driver called me to schedule a convenient time, and I asked if he could place the mats on my driveway, as opposed to the sidewalk. My 5 rolls of 4' x 11' mega rubber arrived perfectly, strapped together, piled on top of a wood pallet, all 700 something pounds, placed nicely on my driveway/walkway, well in from the street. I understood the rolls were heavy, but when you look at them, you just can't imagine how heavy they really are until you try to lift them. The rolls were all cut slightly larger than my 4 x 11' spec, which I guess is good, but I measured my 11' x 20' room exactly, and didn't want to cut them very much. I laid the first 4 rolls down easily, and the side edges were all machine cut and perfect, so they lined up seamlessly, which was very cool. But they all were about 2 ft longer than my specs, and I realized it is not easy to cut the ends across, since the roll is so thick, it doesn't fold into the corner/edge right angle, so you have to approximate the cutting point. They also can scrape your walls black if you are not careful about letting the excess length down gently when laying it down. In addition, be advised that each roll was about 1-2 inches wider than spec as well, which left one section that needed to be cut lengthwise. You definitely need a straight edge and a solid cutter to make your cuts. The actual cutting is easy. For the lengthwise cut on the final roll (call it #5), I simply laid it down along the outer wall, with only an imperceptible space to account for any overlap, then I laid the excess width on top of mat #4 next to it. The mega roll is so heavy and thick, it lays pretty flat on the other mat, so I placed the straight edge down on mat #4 right up against the overlapped edge of mat #5, and cut a straight line into mat #4 (the one underneath). I then removed the thin cut portion of mat #4, and pushed the edge of mat #5 down into the cut side of mat #4, and it fit almost perfectly. If anything, it will be a little too tight, so you can use the imperceptible space you left between mat #5 and the wall to level that out. It all should end up looking seamless as long as you made a straight cut. The matting had an very minor rubbber smell, not unpleasant at all for a few days, and I am very sensitive to bad smells. I didn't really even ″air it out″, and at this point, a couple of weeks afterwards, there is almost no smell at all. The rubber feels great under foot, feels indestructible, with just the right amount of give and resilience for jumping activities. I cannot express how happy I am with both rubberflooringinc, the company, and the quality of my mega roll gym floor. If you are looking for the perfect gym flooring, there is no need to look any further. The only things you have to be prepared for, are the cutting, and the heavy weight of the rolls.

Love my gym floor!

I did a lot of internet research on rubber flooring and decided to go with the 1/2″ Mega rubber rolls. The shipping was fast. The installation was easy with a tape measure, T-square and a razor knife. The rubber smell was not too bad and had dissipated after about a week. I have weight equipment on top of this rubber flooring and it doesn't even put a dent in it. The seams blend in when the rolls are placed side by side.

Put 2 4x60 rolls down the middle of my horse barn. I love them.. Great product. Laid completely flat.

I love the product.... this is the 1/2 inch with the teal flecks.

Installed as gym flooring in a 16' by 19' room. Product is very heavy and requires a helper to set it up and get it in place. Once in place, forget about it and enjoy. We had a lot of small cuts to make to fit in doorway openings and such, so keeping a sharp blade was essential. Once the rolls are down and tapped into place so they butt each other, they seem to be set for good. We didn't use tape or glue and after 3 months there isn't the slightest hint of separation or spread anywhere. Extremely dense and strong product. Does not show any indentations from machines or weights. I would highly recommend this product.

Love my new flooring

The flooring is great - good quality and perfect for our home gym. However, I ordered custom cut rolls that I expected to arrive as the custom size that I requested. The mats did not arrive the length/width that I requested and I needed to cut them. Also, the ends of the mats were not cut straight by any stretch of the imagination. Be aware that the size you order may not be the size that you receive. I guess my view of ″custom cut″ is skewed.

The weight was tremendous, but so was the quality. The floors are actually better than my crossfit floors. They came perfectly as ordered in the projected amount of time. They are easy to install IF you have a very strong person around...again the weight of the floor is crazy! We did a 13 x 16 gym space upstairs. Looks fantastic and professional. Great product.

I got 3 rolls of 1/2” thick 4ft x 20ft rolls for my basement gym floor. It was a workout in itself to get off the pallet in the driveway to the basement but they rolled out nicely and cut easily with a nice sharp knife. They stay in place and are exactly what I wanted. Great product!

Bought 6 rolls, each 4ft wide and 24 ft long. Good product, but not perfect. Two complaints: 1. there was a cosmetic defect one the top side of one of the rolls where it looks like the machine that creates the rolls marred/scratched a spot about 2″-3″ inches wide almost all the way across the 4ft width. The roll wasn't damaged per say, but the marring defect is noticeable, and unfortunately it was in the center of the roll. 2. The carpet is cut to your specified length and I would have expected a nice straight cut at the requested length. This was not the case. It looked as though someone cut with a utility knife. The edges however were very straight and butted up against each other perfectly. Were it not for those two items, would have given the product 5 stars.

I wanted to share my installation results with you. For starters, I love the rubber flooring and how it looks in my basement/fitness room. I painted the basement a dark brown and light brown. Because of this, I selected a product with both dark and light brown specks. They match perfectly. I love the durability for my fitness space and daughter particularly enjoys practicing her gymnastics routines on it. Thanks for the quick delivery and excellent customer service and product. I am very pleased.

Loving the flooring so far. It was heavy to move around, but pretty easy to cut to fit, shipping was easy (albeit slow), and the flooring stays in place without tape or fasteners.

We ordered 3 rolls for our home gym and couldn’t be happier! They arrived quickly, they were well packaged on a pallet, they are heavy but that’s obvious. Using a strong straightedge and a sharp razor knife using multiple passes creates a clean cut. Great product!

I bought the 3/8” mats for my garage gym at my last house and decided to go with the thicker 1/2” mats at my new house. The black mats with blue, white, and grey flecks look amazing with my grey poly-urea floor that has white, blue, and black flecks.

I am very pleased with this product. Redid my garage. I painted and installed this flooring. Everyone that has seen it says it looks amazing. Feels more like a gym now. Less noise and much cleaner. I did it by myself. HOWEVER,.....I'm not going to pretend it was that EASY. This stuff is heavy and cutting it was a royal pain. Take your time and make sure your cuts are even and straight. Its tedious but the finished product is very rewarding.
