Details Details

Description - Our rolled rubber flooring is ideal for extreme users such as Olympic motion weight lifters and powerlifters. It is our most durable rolled rubber flooring solution and is designed specifically for areas where heavy free weights are used. This flooring can be found in many powerlifting and body-building gyms around the country and was designed for the most serious and demanding users. Combine that with our industry-leading 5-year warranty on all of our rubber flooring products, and it’s hard to go wrong when picking Mega Rubber Rolls as your flooring choice. All of our Mega Rubber Rolls are also precisely machine cut to guarantee uniform and easy to install rubber flooring at discount level prices. These rubber rolls are also safe to use both indoors and out.

Material – Recycled rubber buffings and colored EPDM virgin rubber flecks. Rubber buffings are the “Filet Mignon” of the recycled rubber industry since they are the cleanest, strongest, and most consistent recycled rubber material available as compared to some of the low-cost recycled crumb rubber alternatives available.

Width – Each roll is 4' wide.

Length – The rubber rolls are custom cut to your desired length free of charge, provided that each roll length is 15’ or longer, and in whole foot increments such as 15’, 16’, 17’, etc. You will normally receive an extra few inches on each roll. This allows for a quick and easy installation.

Thickness – 1/2"

Weight – 3.0 Lbs. per sqft.

Spec Sheet - Printable Spec Sheet.

Recommended Uses – Mega Rubber Roll flooring can be used successfully in commercial weight rooms and as bodybuilding gym flooring. These rolls have even been used in Olympic training facilities to provide a safe, nonslip flooring surface with extreme durability and shock absorption capabilities to protect subfloors from dropped weights. The mega rolls are also a popular choice for use around ice skating rinks where people may end up walking on the flooring with ice skate blades and in locations such as major league dugouts where metal spikes are commonly used.

Maintenance Maintenance

Mega Rubber Rolls are very easy to clean. Maintenance for these rubber rolls typically includes:

Vacuuming any loose or dry crumbs, dirt, dust, or debris from the rubber rolls when necessary.
Periodic damp mopping of the rolled rubber flooring with a mild soap and water solution. Some soaps commonly recommended include Dawn dish detergent and/or Tide laundry detergent.

Note: Do not use any solvent or oil style cleaners such as Pinesol, Lysol, Murphy’s Oil Soap, WD40, paint thinner, etc. since these types of cleaners will break down the flooring over time.

Installation Info Installation Info

When installing rolled rubber flooring, it is recommended that you use an adhesive to prevent the rolls from moving around or sliding apart between adjacent rolls. The most common methods of adhering rubber rolls to the subfloor are:

A: Double-Sided Tape Installation

First, clean your subfloor so that it is free of all dust, dirt, and debris.
Loose lay your rolls in the room as you would like them to look after a complete installation. Let the rolls relax for 24-48 hours to ensure the proper installation of your new flooring.
Note: Rolls may be directional, so make sure the color matches on each roll. If the roll colors do not match, flip them or turn them 180 degrees to ensure the color matches.
Make any necessary cuts to the rolls to fit them into the room using a straight edge and a utility knife with a fresh blade. We recommend leaving a gap around the rolls roughly the thickness of the rolls being used to account for expansion and contraction.
Roll up the rolls at one end of the room. Apply double-sided tape to the floor along the perimeter of each roll.
Place the rubber rolls back into position on top of the double-sided tape.

B: Glue Installation

First, clean your subfloor so that it is free of all dirt, dust, and debris. Also, when gluing your flooring down, it is recommended that the subfloor is free of any moisture.
Loose lay your rolls in the room as you would like them to look after a complete installation. Let the rolls relax for 24-48 hours to ensure the proper installation of your new flooring.
Note: Rolls may be directional, so make sure the color matches on each roll. If the roll colors do not match, flip them or turn them 180 degrees to ensure the color matches.
Make any necessary cuts to the rolls to fit them into the room using a straight edge and a utility knife with a fresh blade. We recommend leaving a gap around the rolls roughly the thickness of the rolls being used to account for expansion and contraction.
Roll up the rolls at one end of the room. Spread a light layer of polyurethane adhesive that is 10’ long (maximum) and unroll the flooring into the adhesive 10’ at a time.
Repeat this step for every 10’ of roll length until the entire roll has been unrolled into its desired position.
After all of the rolls have been glued down, it is often recommended to use a 100-pound roller on the floor to guarantee good adherence to the subfloor. If a roller is not available, walking on the flooring in small choppy steps may also work.

Customer Questions & Answers

Don't see what you're looking for?

We need to abut your 1/2" mega roll product into a 1" thick floor. Do you supply a transition strip/trim piece that can be added on top of the 1/2" product to bevel up to the higher floor? I am an architect - how do we specify the trim piece?

Anonymous

We do not have vinyl or rubber transitions that would work for your installation, but there are solutions to your issue. One could be placing a rubber underlay underneath your rubber flooring to get it to the same height as your tile. Another solution would be to get an unfinished reducer and stain or paint it to a color that is similar to either the rubber or the tile. You could also use shims at the point where the two floors meet to get them to the same level and then either use a transition piece or leave the joint as is. The transition piece you would need there would be a T-mold.

Hi, can those Rubber Rolls be used outdoors?

evera

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls can be used outdoors. Some fading may occur in direct sunlight, but the floor itself will stand up to the elements.

I want to install these in my daughters indoor play area but was wondering if these mats pose any sort of health hazard. Is it safe to have my daughter in close proximity of these mats for several hours a day given the chemicals they contain?

Anonymous

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls are very safe and can be installed in your daughter's play area. The rubber flooring is cleaned thoroughly to ensure that any dirt, debris, and chemicals are properly removed before making our rubber flooring. If you would like product testing for our Mega Rubber Rolls, please feel free to contact one of our flooring heroes and they would be more than happy to present you any documentation you needed.

Could the 1/2" or 3/8" be used in a garage to park cars on and can it take chemicals (oil)?

Peter

You can park a car on our 1/2" and 3/8" rubber rolls, but if your car leaks oil, the roll will start to break down over time. Most other vehicle chemicals will not affect the flooring in this manner.

Is the top of this flooring smooth? We are using for a home gym, but my daughter will also practice her ballet on it, so she needs to be able to spin.

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls are smooth on the top and bottom of the rolls. Our rubber flooring is not the proper floor for practicing ballet. For ballet, you will need a certain amount of slip, and rubber flooring is known as one of the best non-slip floors on the market. If you wanted a great multiuse floor that is great for working out on and for ballet, we recommend purchasing our Impact Rolls - Wood Series. This floor combines the properties of a rubber floor with a vinyl top that will allow for the proper amount of slip needed for practicing ballet.

I need to know how large in diameter the 1/2" rolled rubber 50' lengths are?

John Fertig

The rolled diameter of a 50' 1/2" roll is 20".

Are these odor free?

Anonymous

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls are not odor free. There will be a rubber smell that will dissipate over time. If the smell is too much, we recommend mopping the floor with mild soap and water solution and letting the floor air dry. If you are looking for rubber that does not have a strong odor, we recommend purchasing one of our Virgin Rubber Tiles.

Has anyone used this under an outdoor playground area (swings, slides, etc.)

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls have been used in outdoor playground areas. The flooring is very durable and is more shock absorbing than concrete or asphalt. You will not get any fall height ratings from this floor, but it works perfect in general play areas.

Can you install your 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls Outdoors? I plan to install the rolls over existing stairs between the house and the lake?

Berniestair

You can install our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls outdoors. These rolls are made from the same material as your tires. With that being said, just like your tires, they will fade a bit in direct sunlight. All our rubber flooring is mold and mildew resistant and very easy to clean and maintain. Another added benefit is that rubber is more slip resistant when wet.

Can your 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls be greater than 48" wide? I need 54" x 18'.

Michael

Currently, our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls only come in a 4' wide roll.

Is the 1/2 mega roll firm enough to use over fairly soft carpet for a treadmill? I bought a mat from local fitness store, think it was 1/4 or 3/8. It bends quite a bit when I walk on it on my carpet, and I'm not that heavy. Have about 400 lb commercial treadmill on it and its barely better then just being on the carpet alone.

Corey Quinn

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls perform best over commercial grade low pile carpet. Since your wanting to use this roll as a mat, the weight of the treadmill should keep the roll solid underneath the treadmill. There may be some bending due to the carpet being a high pile carpet, but there shouldn't be much. This roll should perform better than the thinner mats you have been using. Other products that you could consider that perform better over high pile carpets are our 1" Monster Tiles and our 1" Sports Play Tiles.

Is there a reducer to use around the perimeter?

Brian

We do not currently have a Rubber Ramp that will fit our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls. You can use one of our standard flooring reducers to create a transition between floors. You can find all of our trims and moldings on our Trims and Moldings page.

We have 3 mirrored columns in our PD gym. The mirrors are constantly being broken from people banging weights into the mirrors; I would like to cut the mats into 2'X2' sections and glue them to the mirrors on the lower portion to prevent breaking of the mirrors. Will these mats adhere to mirrors?

matt

If you prepare the surface properly, our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls can be glued to any surface. You will want to use a polyurethane adhesive.

I have read thru the specs several times and I do not see the width of this product mentioned anywhere just that the length needs to be at least 15'. What is the width of this roll?

Anonymous

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls and all of our rubber rolls are 4' wide.

My gym is in my garage and in the winter it gets down to mid 30’s and in the summer it gets up around 100 degrees. Will the rolled half inch flooring expand and shrink with weather changes to where the seams come apart?

Mark

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls and all of our rubber flooring will expand and contract in extreme temperature variations. To help prevent this, we recommend gluing the flooring down. If you don't glue the flooring, we recommend cutting an expansion gap from 1/2" to a 1" around the perimeter of the floor to properly expand and contract. Typically the flooring will expand around the perimeter, not as much at the seams, but it can.

Is this flooring suitable for plyometric workouts?

Anonymous

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls would be suitable for plyometric workouts.

I am working on installing some 1/2 inch rubber flooring in a HS weight room. Can I paint their logo on the flooring? And if I can, should I use acrylic or other paint? Do you offer logo services?

Tatum

If the space doesn't get a lot of traffic, using an acrylic paint will work just fine. If there will be a little more traffic, we recommend using an exterior paint. We do offer logo services, and if you reach out to one of our Flooring Heroes, they will be more than happy to assist you with pricing.

I would like to install your ½" rolled rubber floor over a concrete slab. Is there anything I should know? Thanks.

Mikey G.

You can install our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls over a concrete slab or any other flat, solid surface like asphalt or wood decking. There are no real got you moments that come with installing rubber over concrete. One thing you will want to be aware of is if your concrete floor is allowing water to flow through it. If so, you may want to seal the floor before you install the rubber. The moisture won't hurt the flooring, but your flooring may end up sweating. Rubber is more slip resistant when wet, so this is not a huge issue, but more of a surprise when people see the flooring start to do this.

We want to use your 1/2" Mega Rubber rolls for a kids "wet" area with sprinklers and using a ground level deck to allow for drainage. What is the best installation method over wood decking? Would you recommend anything between the wood (treated) and rubber flooring? Lastly, any issues with a midwest climate?

Our Mega Rubber Rolls would work perfectly as flooring for a wet area where kids will be playing and running through sprinklers. Rubber is very slip resistant and when wet, is even more slip resistant. These rolls would be very easy to install over a wood deck to allow for drainage. You would be able to install the rolls without any glue or tape, but if there were some movement, you could use double sided tape or our polyurethane adhesive. Since all of our rubber rolls are made from recycled tires, they are durable enough to handle any weather so that these rolls will perform just fine in the coldest of winters to the hottest of summers. Another great aspect of rubber flooring is that its mold and mildew resistant and is very easy to clean and maintain. The only thing you will notice with having our rubber rolls outdoors is that there will be some fading over time with the rolls.

Does the mega rubber roll flooring absorb water or is it impermeable? I want to use it outside to cover an area where rain will fall on the surface.

Chester King

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls will not allow water to flow through the flooring. These rolls are semi-permeable, and all liquids will pool on the flooring surface. There are some pores in the floor, so liquid can get in these pores, but the pores do not go through the floor, so when any liquid drys, any solids that were in the liquid can get caught in the floor. This will show as a whitening of the floor. There is no easy way to get rid of these solids, so we recommend using our floor finish and sealer to keep your rubber looking like new longer.

I'm looking to put this in my basement for a home gym. I need the mats to withstand 600lbs being dropped on them from performing deadlifts and squatting over 400lbs. need something durable.

Chris

You can deadlift, squat, and drop heavy weight on our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls. These rolls are commonly used in CrossFit gyms and areas where heavy Olympic lifting happens. You will not destroy these floors doing any Olympic lifts.

Looking to use it in a dog training space. Can it be easily cleaned of dog urine?

Michael Lee

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls are very easy to clean and have been used for dog training and doggy daycares with great success. Our rubber rolls are somewhat porous, so any urine that gets on the floor will sit on top of the floor. If allowed to dry, the salts in the urine will get in the floor and will be impossible to get out. Our rubber rolls are very easy to clean, maintain, and sanitize, but to make it easier to clean up urine and other pet messes, we recommend using our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer.

Does the 1/2 rubber roll flooring have a fire rating? The fire marshal at our facility is asking that question.

Tabor

OUr 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls have a Class 3 fire rating.

I will need to transition the 1/2 rolled rubber flooring at a door way to carpet. What is the best way to do this so it looks like a smooth transition?

Jason

For our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls we offer a 1/2" floor ramp that can be used to bevel your floor at a doorway. This will create the cleanest transition between floors.

What temperatures does your product withstand?

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls are freeze/thaw stable, and they can withstand frigid cold and sweltering hot temperatures. The temperatures that these products are tested under are temperatures that naturally do not occur in nature.

Can rubber rolls be used as a vapor barrier? My crawl space has a dirt floor. If I lay rolls over the dirt, will this stop moisture from coming through? Can the seams be sealed?

Rodgers

You can use our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls as a vapor barrier if you seal them. You would use our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer on the floor and then use our Seam Sealer glue at the seams. Once you have done this, then yes you can use our rubber rolls as a vapor barrier. For a product that would work better than our rubber rolls, we suggest using our Nitro Rolls as a vapor barrier. These rolls are non-porous.

Can the 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls be cut easily to accommodate more narrow walkways?

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls can be cut with a sharp utility knife and a straight edge pretty easily. Since it is pretty thick, you may have to score the floor a few times before getting all the way through, but it can be easily done.

I’m building a house and will have a home gym on the second floor. I’ll have a few machines like a treadmill and elliptical etc... and weights. Being on the second floor, do I simply lay the rubber rolls over the wood sub Flooring? Ant what thickness do you recommend?

Gus

You can install our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls right over the wood subflooring on the second floor. This is our thickest rubber roll and will provide you with tons of shock and sound absorption. If you still have more noise coming from the second floor than you like, we recommend adding a few rubber mats under your equipment and where you will drop weights to help deaden any noise or vibration more. You won't be able to completely get rid of any noise transmittance completely, but you will definitely reduce it while also protecting your subfloor.

We need to know if the material should be sealed and if so with what recommended product. Also need to know how to clean the floor and any cleaning products to use and/or not use.

Charlene Ross

You don't have to seal our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls. If you did want to seal the flooring, you can with our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer. To clean our rubber flooring, all you would need to do is sweep any large dirt and debris and then damp mop the flooring with a mild soap and water solution or our Rubber Floor Cleaner and Degreaser. You will want to mop the flooring with a synthetic mop.

What is minimum order for 1/2" mega roll with gray fleck?

Paul

Our minimum cut length right now for our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls is 15' long. The width is standard at 4'.

I am building an outdoor model railroad (G Scale) here in Arizona and was thinking about cutting your roll into 1 3/4" strips lengthwise to use under the track and gluing the track to it. How would you recommend I cut a 50' long strip? Will it cause a problem when it gets to about 120 in direct sunlight. What would you recommend I use to attach the plastic ties to the strip? What other problems you can think of?

WALTER GAZDZIK

You can cut our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls easily with a sharp utility knife and a straight edge. The rubber will handle the heat just fine, just like your car tires. The melting point for rubber is well over 200 degrees Fahrenheit. To attach the plastic pieces to the rubber flooring, we recommend using our Polyurethane adhesive. This gives you the strongest hold and will also stand up to the elements.

Can these floors be used over concrete with in-floor heat? And if not, do you offer flooring that would be better used for this?

You can install our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls over a concrete floor with in-floor heating. The rubber flooring will not melt. The only thing you will notice is that you won't get the full effect of the floor heating system. These systems were made for porous materials like stone and tile. Rubber is a decent insulator, so you will only get some effects of the floor heating system.

I am looking for a floor for my dogs room that is easy to clean and not going to be punctured by their nails. Would this work? They need some padding as they are getting old.

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls would work well as flooring for pets. This rubber flooring is very easy to clean and can be sealed with our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer to create a floor that is easy to sanitize. Our rubber flooring will provide comfort underfoot for your pets and will help keep them active as they get older. Their nails would not destroy our rubber flooring. If you seal the flooring, you may have to reseal it more often than twice a year, but other than that, this floor will be very easy to clean and maintain.

What is the STC and IIC rating for your Mega Rubber rolls?

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls do have some sound absorbing properties but they are not tested specifically for IIC and STC ratings. If you are looking for a product that would provide you with optimal readings in both IIC and STC, we recommend purchasing one of our Rubber Underlayments.

I want to install the 1/2" on my covered deck; it still gets a little rain and snow blow in on it. Will this work for me?

Jerry D Lacey

You can install our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls on a covered deck that gets rain and snow. Our rubber flooring is very durable and can withstand the elements. Our rubber flooring is very easy to clean and maintain and is mold and mildew resistant. These rubber rolls are also slip-resistant and are more slip resistant when wet. The only thing you may notice over time is that the rubber may fade a bit in direct sunlight.

I am planning on installing the ½ inch rubber rolls in a 12 x 18 home gym. The gym will be in the basement, and the rubber is being installed on concrete. I notice one q&A indicated the rubber performs best over carpet? Should I install carpet first? Carpet padding? Or smoother underlayment? Please advise.

Tammy

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls can be installed over any type of flat hard surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, plywood, and the like. Our rubber rolls truly perform the best when installed over concrete as this is a hard flat surface that is very easy to install over. You can install our rubber rolls over commercial grade carpet, and it will perform just as well over any other hard flat surface. The only surface that can be a little tricky to install over is plush residential carpet with a thick pad. Here you would just have to be mindful that the flooring may separate and could cause a tripping hazard. But to iterate here, carpet it not needed under our rubber flooring, just a hard flat surface.

Is this product resistant to UV? I am looking for a rubber flooring for use outside that will be subjected to sun and rain. If not, do you have something else?

Derek Koski

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls are not UV stable and would eventually fade in direct sunlight over time. These rubber rolls are made from recycled truck tires, so they will be able to handle the elements as well as your tires would. These rubber rolls are mold and mildew resistant and are very easy to clean and maintain.

I am planning on making a home gym in our basement. Is it ok to put right on the concrete? I am afraid of water leaking and getting between the concrete floor and rubber floor. And can I drill holes in the flooring to match with the drain?

Megan

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls can be installed in a basement over concrete. Our rubber flooring is water-resistant and will not be affected if water to get in between the flooring and the concrete subfloor. We recommend in basements to loose lay our rubber flooring, so if there is a flooding event, you can easily remove the rolls and properly clean them. You can easily cut our rubber flooring to add areas for drainage with a sharp utility knife.

Do you have a product that does not contain any toxic chemicals or phthalates? Low or no odor?

Jake

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls do not contain any toxic chemicals or phthalates. These rolls are low odor but do have a rubber smell to them. We recommend if you are sensitive to smells to mop the floor with a mild soap and water solution and to let the flooring air dry in a well-ventilated space. You may have to do this a few times to get the smell to dissipate fully. If you would like to get the MSDS for our rubber flooring, please feel free to reach out to one of our Flooring Heroes via chat, email, or phone, and they will be more than happy to provide you with it.

What sort of cleaning methods are recommended?

For large dirt and debris, we recommend either sweeping the floor or using a brushless vacuum to remove it from our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls properly. To clean stuck-on dirt and debris, we recommend mopping the floor with a mild soap and water solution with a synthetic mop head mop. You would then let the floor air dry.

Can I order a custom roll length in a fraction of a foot? The order form only gives an option of whole feet, but my space is 16' 10" - can you cut to that specification?

Bethany

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls and all of our custom cut rubber flooring can only be cut in whole foot increments. When you order our custom cut rubber flooring, you will get a little extra on each roll to account for inherent shrinking and to ensure you are able to floor your whole room wall to wall as no room is perfectly square.

Would this type of floor work for a basketball gym? This is a church gymnasium, so it will be used as a multipurpose room. Basketball is the primary sport played.

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls and rubber flooring, in general, is typically not the best floor for basketball as there is a certain amount of slip that you want to have while playing basketball. We do offer a wide range of floors that are great as basketball court flooring on our court flooring page. Not only would these floors be great for basketball, but they are the perfect multipurpose floor. To add cushion, bounce, and shock absorbency to these floors, we recommend using one of our underlayment options.

Would this work for horse stalls?

charlene

You can use our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls as flooring in horse stalls. These rolls are made from the same material as standard horse stall mats, just in a roll form.

Will the Mega Rubber Roll lay flat without glue?

Mike Lucente

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls will lay flat without glue. Since these are rolled up when you receive them, you will need to unroll the rubber rolls and let them acclimate for about 24-48 hours. After this period the rubber will be flat and ready to install.

What is the R-value of the 1/2 inch mega roll rubber mat?

richard

The R-value for our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls and all of our rubber is approximately 1.100.

Could this be used as an outdoor sports court over compacted dirt? Will balls bounce on it if it's not on concrete?

Technically our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls could be used as court flooring, but we don't recommend it. Rubber flooring has a very high coefficient of friction, and due to this, one could get injured when performing certain moves while playing basketball or any other sport. We do offer a wide range of court floors that would be great to use. With these hard plastic courts, you can place a rubber underlay under them to help add more bounce and cushion to your floor. This will help to give you more shock absorbency when jumping up and down on the court.

Will this flooring tolerate office chairs w/wheels being run over it consistently? And, will it stand up to Denatured alcohol (shellac thinner) and acetone? If not, which product should I be looking at?

Mike

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls have been used as flooring in offices all over the US and can handle constant use of rolling chairs on it. Our rubber flooring is pretty resistant to several chemicals and can handle denatured alcohol, and acetone on it.

How much does a single roll weigh? 4'x15’ length, 1/2 inch thick?

A 15-foot roll of our 1/2" Mega Rubber Roll weighs approximately 180 pounds.

Would tile hold up if I placed your 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls on top of it. I would have a bench press but no more than 130 pounds.

Hector Cabrera

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls can be installed over tile and will help to protect your tile flooring from the dropping of heavy weights.

We are wanting to install this in a salon, would this be a good option. There is a risk of spilling permanent hair dye and hair bleach on the floor. Would these ruin the rubber?

You can install our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls in a salon. Bleach and other chemicals will not harm the floor in any way. Rubber flooring is very slip-resistant, even when wet, and is very easy to clean and maintain.

I would like to build a temporary home gym in a room in my basement and use rubber rolls for flooring. I hope to do Olympic style lifting so I would intend to use 1/2" thick roll. I currently have laminate flooring installed and wish to keep it underneath the rubber flooring as I will convert it back to a bedroom in 5-7 years. Would it be okay to install rubber roll over the laminate? Do you have any recommendations or feedback from previous customers. Thanks

Bennett

You can install our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls over a laminate or wood floor. These rubber rolls will not affect the laminate in any way. If you are concerned about any staining or marks being left behind, you can always place a plastic sheet under the tiles to further protect your laminate or wood flooring.

How do you link two pieces of rubber flooring together?

Tina Poncin

There are a few ways to piece two of our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls together. The first would be to use our double-sided carpet tape under the rolls down the seam. This will help to keep the seam tight and prevent the rolls from moving. The next method would be to use our Seam Sealer glue on the seam. This will also keep the seam tight and prevent the rolls from separating.

I'm creating a home gym in my finished basement where I've installed vinyl flooring and looking to use the 1/2" rolled rubber for the area. Does the rolled rubber react &/or stain the vinyl flooring? If so, then do you recommend any specific barrier to protect from damage?

ou can install our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls over a luxury vinyl floor. The reason that you can install it over a luxury vinyl floor, waterproof, or rigid core floor is due to these products having a wear layer that protects the actual vinyl. If you were to install this over a standard vinyl floor, we would recommend placing a plastic sheet between the vinyl and rubber. This will help to prevent any reaction from happening between the rubber and vinyl.

Hey, I’m looking to build a home gym, and our flooring is all hardwood. Would these be suitable for the occasional (accidental) dropping of 400+ lbs without damaging the hardwood? Or would you recommend doubling up the rubber flooring?

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls are great for dropping heavy weights. This thickness is commonly found in Cross Fit and Olympic lifting gyms. Our rubber flooring will not damage your hardwood flooring, and you wouldn't have to double up the rubber flooring to keep the hardwood underneath protected.

What is the best roll product for heavy use in a horse barn aisle and wash rack area? Needs to be installed over asphalt. We would like something other than black if possible.

SUZETTE

Our1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls have been used in barns all across the US and Canada in barn aisles and wash rack areas. These rubber rolls are very easy to clean and maintain and are very slip-resistant and even more so when wet. They are also mold and mildew resistant.

What is the weight of a 4’ x 15’ half-inch thick roll?

Bill

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls weigh approximately 3 pounds per square foot. So a 4' x 15' roll weighs approximately 180 pounds.

How much weight can be dropped on the 1/2” rubber rolls without damaging the concrete underneath them?

We don't have a specific weight drop limit for our rubber flooring. There are too many variables that can cause damage. What we do know is that our flooring is super durable and will protect a concrete subfloor with ease. We have installed our 1/2" rubber flooring in some of the most demanding spaces from professional weight rooms, Cross Fit gyms, and even at the Mr. Olympia Contest. So if it can withstand those environments and protect the subfloor, it can perform everywhere installed.

Is the gold a metallic gold or more of just a darker yellow?

Kimberly

The gold color in our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls is just a darker yellow.

I noticed some rubber flooring comes with either 10% or 20% colored flecks. Is the choice between 10% and 20% purely cosmetic, or does adding more fleck affect the quality/durability in any way?

Matt

The color flec seen in our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls or any of our other rubber products is purely cosmetic and has no bearing on our products' durability.

Can a weighted sled be used on this rubber flooring?

Key

You can use a weighted sled on our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls or any of our rubber rolls. Since rubber is very slip-resistant, you will need to reduce the friction. You can do this by using a plastic sled or adding carpet or plastic under your current sled.

I am looking to place 2 rolls in my garage for a home gym. I will be placing a squat rack on top of the mat that may need to be bolted into the concrete floor under the mat. Would drilling 4 bolts through the mat compromise the integrity of the mat?

Kevin

Drilling into our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls will not compromise the integrity of the rolls. Drilling into the rolls is very typical in commercial settings.

I know I can't lay linoleum on top of the underlayment rubber, but can I lay linoleum on top of the rubber flooring. I want to soften any fall for my 96-year-old father in his bedroom.

Priscilla Vivian Orozco

We wouldn't recommend placing our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls or any rubber product under linoleum. If you are looking for a product that would give you a pleasant-looking floor that is also impact resistant, we would recommend installing or Impact Rolls - Wood Series or the Ecore at Home Rx series rolls. These products feature a vinyl top over a rubber underlay. They are very easy to clean and maintain and are just as easy to install.

Are the 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls made of vulcanized rubber?

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls are not vulcanized.

What is the recommended installation method if I am putting this outside on the (dirt) ground?

Jessica

If installing our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls or any of our rubber rolls over dirt, you can simply lay the rubber down on the ground. There is no need to further secure it with glue or tape as neither would work over dirt. If your ground is uneven and you want the rubber flooring to perform at its best, we recommend leveling the ground with compacted crushed granite and then placing the roll over that. This would help to reduce any tripping hazards.

Do the seams need to be sealed together?

madeline Way

You do not have to seam our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls together.

Is the flooring slippery when wet?

SANDY MOHAR

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls is more slip-resistant when wet with an added benefit being that all our rubber flooring is mold and mildew resistant.

Can you cut the 1/2" roll with a saw instead of a utility knife?

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls can be cut with a bandsaw, circular saw, or rotary tool. When cutting our rubber flooring with a power tool, you will want to make sure to run the tool at low speed with a lot of water to keep the blade cool. If you don't keep the blade cool, you will melt the rubber, making cutting more difficult and less precise.

Has anyone used car jacks with this flooring

With success, we have had customers use car jacks on our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls. Depending on how long there is weight on the car jack, there is potential for an imprint of the jack to show permanently.

Can this flooring be used for stairs as well? If so, what should a buyer know about that?

Ryan

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls can be installed on stairs. When installing these on stairs, you would cut and glue the pieces onto the stairs. You would then install a stair nose over the rubber to protect the seams. The type of glue you will use is a polyurethane adhesive.

Is the 1/2" Mega Rubber Roll firm enough to use exercise equipment with wheels, e.g., ab roller, etc., and not buckle or move under the wheel?

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls are firm enough that you can move gym equipment across them that have wheels, and the floor wouldn't buckle. Over time, the only thing you will notice with any heavy equipment is that there may be an indentation where the equipment sat. If the equipment was in the location for a short duration, the flooring does have some memory and will bounce back. If the gym equipment were there for an extended time, the indentation would become permanent.

Hello, can the 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls be used on the wall? My son has autism and bangs his head. Would this be soft enough where he won't hurt himself?

Carmen

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls and all rubber rolls can be installed on a wall. You will want to use one of our polyurethane adhesives to adhere the rolls to the wall. You will need to place some material in front of the rolls to allow the glue and rolls to bind. These are not as soft as, say, a foam tile, but they will help to lessen the blows. If you are looking for something that will be less dense than our standard rubber rolls but denser than a foam tile, we suggest purchasing our Black Regrind Rolls or our Eco-Flec Rolls. They are less dense, helping to reduce the impact.

I’m considering putting this over Saltillo tile for a workout floor space and wondering if there is any risk of the black rubbing off onto the tile?

Sarah

Our 1/2" Mega Rubber Rolls will not rub off on your Saltillo tiles or any other flooring surface. If you are concerned it will, we recommend placing a plastic sheet under our rubber rolls or any rubber flooring to ensure it doesn't.

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 - Pro Tip for cutting discovered

Anonymous from Maple Grove, MN wrote...

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!

Great, high quality product - cumbersome

Self-installed in Basement Home Gym

Jason from KY wrote...

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.
