I'm planning to do some flooring in my apartment garage. I will be using it for my garage band instruments and the gym (personal). Would these be suitable? How do I clean the mat? Can I re-use these when I move out to a different apartment? Thanks.

frank

For personal gym use, we typically recommend at least 1/4" thickness to help with shock absorption. Rubber rolls can be cleaned using a vacuum and occasional damp mopping. If you are going to park a car on it you may not be able to reuse as any liquids that may drip out of cars can deteriorate the rubber over time.

I'm looking for a gym floor for aerobic/rehab use. Can this type of flooring be installed over a carpet pad to give it a softer feel? I'd like the rubber top surface but with more impact absorption for something like P90X Insanity type jumping.

David

We don't recommend installing our 5mm Rubber Rolls over a carpet pad because there will be separation between rolls as the bad underneath depresses. To add further cushion to our rubber flooring, we recommend using our rubber underlayment. This will give you the added comfort and shock absorption you are looking for but will also be sturdy enough not to create a tripping hazard while in use.

Hi, I run a small gourmet mushroom farm in Louisiana. We are upgrading our farm by adding a few shipping containers as fruiting rooms. These containers already have a wood floor, but as the floors will constantly be getting wet, I need some sort of waterproof flooring to go over them.

Can the 5 MM or 3/16 rubber products be used in a garage with cars parking on the surface?

Bud Equi

Our 5mm Rubber Rolls are pretty thin, so if you wanted to use them as flooring in a garage, we recommend gluing the rolls down, so they don't come up when driving in and out of your garage or when turning your wheel. Since most cars don't typically leak oil, this will not be an issue for most customers, but if your car were to lead oil, we would recommend placing one of our Nitro Rolls under your car or one of AutoFloorGuard's containment mats. If oil were to get on your rubber, over time the rubber will start to breakdown.
