smelly!

We were very excited about this flooring for our new gym area in our basement. We installed it shortly after it arrived and it looks great. But the smell is terrible! It has been about 5 months now and the smell has just now not been as evident all throughout our house! We could hardly stand it for the first few MONTHS. We had our windows and doors opened daily. And this is not an enclosed area we are talking about. The room has 2 windows and double doors to the outside. The positives are...I really like the look, it was fairly easy to install, and it is great for a gym area. But honestly if we had it to do over again, I am not sure we would go through the hassle of dealing with and trying to get rid of that terrible smell again!

3/8'' rubber gym tiles
Chris from San Diego, CA

I just installed my new rubber flooring last night and it looks great! Just like you see in high-end gyms. Easy to install (about 2 1/2 hours)...you need a heavy duty utility knife. Ordering was a breeze and the delivery arrived at my front door step 1 week earlier than I was expecting. The only reason I did not rate this product with 5 stars is the odor. The odor is very strong, almost toxic smelling. Unfortunately, my wife will not work out in the gym until I can air it out. Rubber Flooring Inc. states that it will go away over time or you can scrub with soap and water. I am hoping this is true. Other than that, I am very happy.

Went down very easily over a concrete floor. Color (black with teal flecks) even better than I had anticipated. Heavy tiles but will stand up to a great deal of wear. Waterproof as advertised. I am thrilled with it. Would definitely recommend it.

The rubber tiles I purchased to create a home gym in my basement are perfect! They are easy to install, form a very tight seam, and are exceptionally rugged. The available corner and end pieces really give the area a professional finished look. I would highly recommend this product!

Have a 14' x 14' area of these in my basement home gym. Easy to put together, solid. Lunges, box jumps, weight drops....they don't move. I just layed them down right on the concrete. They don't dent easily either. I had a few hundred pound weight machine sitting on them for a month. Moved it yesterday and you can't even tell where it was. Definitely worth the price. Just wish I lived closer to a distribution center as shipping $$ hurt a bit. But still worth it.

Gym tiles - excellent quality
Ty from Skaneateles, NY

I purchased these gym tiles for a home gym. They arrived the day they were expected and were easy to install. They have been in for several weeks and, so far, have proven to be very sturdy. Since the tiles are so big and heavy, they don't move around and the sections where they interlock are tight. My room is of a size that when I asked for the 10% coverage, I had a lot left over so I tiled my crawl space as well. Fair warning: these tiles are very big so if your room is like mine and several small pieces of a few tiles are needed to make an exact fit of your room, it will leave you with large amounts of left over. Not a problem for me because of my crawl space, but if you don't need it for anything else, you may have to find a place for it. One option that I didn't choose is to buy a center piece that you know you will use for your smaller cuts instead of a greater number of excess tiles. That may save you a bit of money.

Great service, great product

Order arrived in a timely manner and was error free. There was some confusion when I was called about the delivery as it was to a residence and we needed to make sure the truck had a lift and a hand dolly as it weighed 800lbs. It all worked out and the product is great.

Home gym installation
Ron from Naperville IL

We purchased the 3/8" rubber tiles to install for our home gym flooring. The installation was a breeze. After initial problem with cutting the tile, I changed the blade in my utility knife and it was easy cutting from there. The seams are hard to discern and the installed floor looks great. I recommend you order some free samples before you start, it will make it easier to insure you order what you want.
One suggestion, if you want to install wall-to-wall use the custom order for the number of tiles. I used the automatic calculation to be safe and had too many tiles left over, but that was my choice. Now that I have done an installation, I would do my own calculations. You can start from one corner of the wall and work from there (I believe the website indicates this.) I just wanted to be safe in ordering, but now I have replacements if I damage any of the tiles.
The whole experience from start to finish was easy and I would recommend ordering from this company.

I bought these tile for the playroom. When first open the pkg,the strong smell took 1-2 wks to go. Also, I wiped clean two times throughoutly and the tiles still have somthing that make the feet/socks slippery after stepped on these tiles. It's not grease, but don't know what make it so slippery.(Of course, it's not static either.) Other than these, the product is fine and useful.

Installed them in the basement Gym. Looks great, virtually seamless when complete.Have been dropping dumb bells and free weights on them for a month now and not a mark on them. Highly recommend these tiles to anyone looking for a durable Gym floor.

Great for home gym
Gabi from Chicago, IL.

I purchased the 7/8" jumbo soft tiles (black & gray) a few months ago and they are great as a floor for my home gym. I'd rate them 5 stars except that I put the black side up and its hard to keep clean...actually once you clean it, it loses its' blackness and becomes somewhat "dirty" black looking. When I have time I will flip the whole floor onto the gray side for a newer look.

Spectacular Product & Service
B.J. Harvick from Staunton, VA

I bought the 3/8" gym floor rubber tiles.
Yellow Truck delivered the product on time as estimated. They were great. The order left rubber Flooring, Inc. when they estimated. Deliver service from Rubber Flooring to my door was sterling!
The rubber tiles fit together perfectly. They were tight and fit with precision relative to an earlier delivery of the same product. (Yes, I am a repeat customer.) The flooring rubber tiles are heavy enough to maintain contact with the floor, they provide protection for my old bones from the concrete floor below them, and they help to quiet the room.
Great product with great service. Yes, I'll buy from Rubber Flooring again.

Home Gym Floor

We haven't had this floor very long so I can't comment on durability yet but I am very pleased with how easy it was to install and how perfect it is for what we need. It is in our workout room. It provides the needed cushioning for high impact exercise but is still firm. It is great for yoga as well and gives needed warmth to a cold basement floor.

Excellent Home Gym Flooring Product
T. Davis from Kansas City
3/29/2011
The 4X4 rubber tiles fit tightly together and cut (with some effort) with a standard razor knife and straight edge. No room with be "perfectly" square so, there will be some small gaps at the edges. We had maybe a 1/2" gap 1/3 of the way up one wall. You could put cord around down to hide it if it really bothers you however, it's not that bad at all for a "home gym"
Overall, a great product and it was only about $150 more than what carpet would have cost to put down. Carpet would not have lasted compared to this product lasting...forever.
