3/8" Sport-Lock Rubber Tiles Reviews

I installed about 500 sq ft of this in a new laundry room and mudroom. The install was a bit more difficult than I expected. I had a lot of cuts to make around doorways, stairs, pipes, etc. It's pretty heavy and if you have a really sharp razor in your utility knife it cuts ok, but not great. I changed the blade about every 8-10 cuts and that helped a lot. When you rip the strips off on the one side sometimes it leaves little ″knobby″ things that you have to trim off carefully or it won't lock together very well with the next piece. I installed this on three stairs (only one visible in pic). For the riser I bought some rubber glue spray stuff from HD. Then I put a metal bullnose thing on the edge and I think it's going to hold up very well. My only complaint is when the kids come in with dusty feet it leaves foot prints. You can even see some on the right in the pic. It comes up with a wet rag/mop but because of the black color, the dust does show. We'll see how this wears over time but so far we really like it. We were going for more of an industrial look and I think we achieved that with the floor.

The 3/8″ sport-lock rubber tiles are an excellent product and should withstand many years of heavy use. I purchased them for a home gym to be installed directly over a concrete basement. The tiles are thick enough to withstand heavy free weights and protect the concrete underneath. Installation was fairly easy, as I had to make only a few small cuts to fit. The whole floor is seamless, as you cannot even see where the tiles interlock from standing height. Overall, the sport-lock tiles look as advertised and should be durable for many years. I would highly recommend the 3/8″ sport-lock rubber tiles!!!

I purchased rubber flooring for my business. I had the floors put in and it took the contractors about 2 working days to do the installation. It was easy to unload from the deliverer, and the contractors were amazed how easy it was to install! After the installation, the place looks GREAT! All the furniture and equipment were easy to put back in its proper place because the floors could not be damaged. My business is a physical therapy clinic and we have patients coming and going all day long. Even our patients notice the difference, not by appearance, but by walking on the floors. It is so much lighter on our feet and easier to walk on. It is also safer to walk on because, before, we had carpet; and sometimes, patients were not able to keep their balance. However, the rubber flooring has really made a difference on patients' gait training and balance exercises. They have commented that it is easier to do their exercises and feel a sense of security when performing gait training and balance exercises. Also, at first we did not know how to clean it but we researched it and it is SO easy to clean! We just mop the floors using water and it leaves a nice clean look. There are no footprints unless there are really muddy feet walking. Also, usually we would vacuum our floors but now we can do a fast and easy sweep to the area. I would greatly recommend this product to anyone who are interested in replacing floors with an excellent product. Actually, I have already recommended rubber flooring from Rubber Flooring Inc. to people who have asked about my flooring.

These tiles snap together very easily and the finished look is awesome. Everything from the ease of ordering to the FedEx delivery was top notch. These tiles come on a pallet and are heavy. The FexEx guy was very helpful unloading them and rolling them into our garage. From there, I would roll up two tiles at a time and carry them into the basement. I covered a small room (11 X 11) and it took me 2 hours total. Measure and mark with a chalk pen where to cut the edge pieces. Place the tiles so you just need to trim two sides of a square cornered room is my advise. I also found after making the first cut with a utility knife, bend over the piece like you would a piece of drywall, then what's left is very easy to cut.

I have not placed the floor yet. Brought it into the basement to acclimate to the temperature for a few days. I really like that 2 sides of the square have straight perforations for wall and corners and they can be removed and the tile can be used in center pieces. I was expecting to have to trim edges for the wall and corners. When I place the tile, I will send photos. Important info. is that when the tile is delivered on a palate, the driver will back into the driveway and place the palate in the garage or close to the house if easy access. The reason the company will tell you that the delivery will be dropped at the curb only and an additional fee for the product to be brought close to the house is because some driveways are difficult to access. Don't pay the additional fee if you have an easy access driveway.

Ordered the 3/8 in sportlock tiles for a 10x15 exercise room...after bringing the tiles into the room, 3hrs later had the floor installed. These fit better under my moulding than a 1/2 in tile would and unless you are putting this floor down first, I would say go with the 3/8 to be sure. Pricing is very reasonable and doing the install myself saved me $1000 from my carpet installer quote. Tiles fit very well together and like a few reviews suggest, use a carpet knife and change the blade a few times. Very pleased with the outcome and will recommend to anyone looking for a rubber floor tile application. Went with the grey flecked tiles and they do great hiding any dust and camouflaging what few seams can be seen. Thanks!

The product 3/8″ sportlock and the service was excellent. I installed a 10' x 20' room in about 6 hours with not much problem. One suggestion is when cutting use a carpet knife rather than a box cutter. Fits and looks great.

We just installed the sport lock rubber tiles in our home gym and it is fantastic! It's excellent quality and makes our home workout room look like an actual gym! Couldn't be happier. Excellent value for the money as well.

Love this floor. My son and I installed it in a spare bedroom turning it into a workout room. It was easy to install and looks great!

I am a general contractor of high end homes in the Chicago suburbs. I put this in my house and liked it so much I convinced a client to put it their workout room in their $1M home. We all couldn't be happier. Make sure you seal it. Makes it look very rich with a little bit of a sheen. Very easy to install, no glue, just lay them in place and it doesn't budge, just make sure you have plenty of blades for your knife. Change them often to get the best cut. I will warn, has to be shipped via freight carrier so that can be costly but at the end of the day, well worth it.

We are very pleased with our purchase of 3/8″ Sport-Lock Tiles. Our maintenance director & school very pleased with the quality and appearance of the tile. We have installed the tile in a weight room and seams to be working fine.

Super solid material. Very durable. Easy to install. Love it so far - have had for nearly a full year.

It was easy to install, looks good and so far durable.

This is our second home gym for which we’ve purchased these tiles. Super easy to install with a sharp knife. Insulating and noise absorbing, these instantly finish the room and offer a solid surface for weights of all sizes. Highly recommend!

We’ve had our home gym in our garage for a few years now. We made space in our basement but wanted a better flooring compared to the old stall mats that we had. The flooring went down easy. Definitely measure twice and cut once. I used a straight edge and cut the tiles as needed. We were also concerned about the odor but these have barely any at all compared to stall mats. It gives the gym a finished look and provides a good base for weightlifting. The order and shipping process went smooth as well. It came through freight and I was able to pick up the pallet of mats locally.

Easy ordering, fast shipping and an easy product to install. Heavy duty quality and great looks!

Great product. Everything went together with ease. Just make sure to keep the arrows towards the floor. My lot had the direction arrows with stickers and painted on. I ended up having to spend an extra hour redoing the first section. That’s my fault for not reading the directions. Floor came out great!!!

I really like the rubber flooring, it adds so much to my studio. Now I don’t have to worry about dropping weights, and we get the extra cushion when I add on that Ford floor exercises. I’m so happy that we made this purchase. Thank you.

Very happy and I was worried about the delays, but worth the wait. Great addition to my workout room.

Nice product, easy install and looks great. Would purchase again.
