Description - Our tough residential rolled rubber flooring is the perfect choice for the home gym owner. It has the same appearance and functionality as the type of flooring used in commercial gyms but is designed specifically for home gyms. Each roll is precisely machine cut so rolls can be butted together at the seams, and no messy seam sealer is required for installation. The rolled rubber is also safe to use both inside and outside.
Material – Recycled rubber buffings and colored EPDM virgin rubber flecks. Recycled rubber buffings are the “Filet Mignon” of the recycled rubber industry since they are the cleanest, strongest, and most consistent raw material as compared to some of the cheap recycled crumb rubber alternatives available.
Width – Each roll is 4' wide.
Length – The rolls are custom cut to your desired lengths free of charge, provided that each roll length is at least 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 – 1/4"
Weight – 1.6 Lbs. per sqft.
Recommended Uses – Tough rubber rolls have been used successfully in-home fitness gyms, as exercise flooring, under exercise equipment, in doggy daycare facilities, basement flooring, on decks and patios, in kid’s playrooms, in locker rooms, and any other place to help prevent slipping and provide anti-fatigue and sound dampening qualities.

Available For Order - Ships between Feb 3 - 10

Tough Rubber Rolls are easy to clean. Maintenance for these rubber rolls typically includes:
  • Vacuuming any loose dust, dirt, or debris from the flooring surface when necessary.
  • Occasional damp mopping of the rolls with a mild soap and water mixture. Some soaps commonly used 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.

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
  1. First, clean your subfloor so that it is free of all dust, dirt, and debris.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Roll up the rolls at one end of the room. Apply double-sided tape to the floor along the perimeter of each roll.
  6. Place the rubber rolls back into position on top of the double-sided tape.

B: Glue Installation
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Repeat this step for every 10’ of roll length until the entire roll has been unrolled into its desired position.
  7. 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.

Does water roll off when this is used on an outdoor patio, or does it absorb or retain the water in the rug?
Virginia Brown
Our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls are somewhat porous and will allow water to run off of the roll if it's on a grade. If there is no grade, then the water may collect on top of the roll. The water would evaporate, but any salts or sediments will make their way into the pores in the floor.
I am trying to soundproof a second floor condo. Has there been any tests on this product for using as underlayment for a free-floating laminate floor?
greg
Our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls can be used as underlayment, but they are not tested for that purpose. We do offer 1/4" thick underlayment that has been tested. Feel free to take a look at that product and others on our underlayments page.
I want to use the 1/4" rolls in the waiting area of my martial arts school. Is the flooring stain resistant? There are occasional, coffee, soda, etc. spills. Thank you for your help.
Anonymous
Our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls are stain resistant. If a liquid were to get spilled on the floor, we do recommend cleaning it immediately. If the liquid were left to evaporate, some of the liquid may get stuck inside the pore of the floor. This makes it almost impossible to remove without damaging the floor.
What is the width of these rolls?
Lois Jenkins
Our Tough Rubber Rolls are 4' wide.
Can I place 1/4" rubber roll on top of nylon carpet without damaging the carpet?
joe
Our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls can be installed over carpet. We recommend installing it over low pile commercial carpet, but you can install these rubber rolls over plush residential carpet with a thick pad. When installed over carpet with a thick pad, there is potential for the rubber to separate when walked over due to the pad underneath depressing. If installing the rubber over light-colored carpet, we do recommend placing a plastic sheet under the rubber to prevent any staining that could occur.
How much does a 4' X 15' roll 1/4 inch roll weigh?
Michelle
A 15' long 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls weighs about 96 pounds.
I'm looking at the 1/4" rubber rolls and wondering if suitable for driving a car over (resting a car on). We intend to use in garage as a floor for indoor basketball, but on occasion, there will be a car in the garage. Additionally, what do you recommend for adhering the roll to the a concrete surface?
Jeremy Curfman
A car can be driven over our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls. The only issue that you may see with having a car on rubber flooring is when a vehicle is leaking oil. The oil from the car can over time break down the rubber. To adhere the rubber to concrete, we recommend using a polyurethane adhesive or our 5900 adhesive.
Is your rubber 100% natural?
Robin
Our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls are made from the treads of recycled truck tires. Most of this material is made from SBR which is a synthetic rubber material used to make tires today.
I am looking for a surface that will stand up to the riggers of a college dugout. Namely the cleats the baseball players are wearing. In collegiate baseball metal cleats are worn. Will this surface prevent metal cleats from penetrating the surface? Clearly over time there will be an effect, but I wanted to get confirmation the metal cleats would not cut and easily enter the surface with normal walking?
Jay Sullenger
We typically do not recommend using our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls in baseball dugouts. Since the rubber is quite thin, there is a great potential for the cleats to penetrate the roll. For baseball dugouts, we recommend going with our 3/8" or 1/2" rubber rolls or our Rubber Gym tiles, which are vulcanized which is just a fancy name for tough, non-porous rubber.
Is 1/4 inch heavy enough to use in a horse barn aisleway (only 2 horses walking in and out once a day)?
Teresa Springer
Our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls can be used as flooring in a horse barn aisleway. These rolls are very slip resistant and more slip resistant when wet. They are also very easy to clean and maintain and are mold and mildew resistant. Urine and other liquids will not pass through the floor, but when dried, the salts from liquids can get trapped in the flooring. You can use our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer to prevent this.
I'm looking to use this as a cargo liner in my suv to transport my 2 dogs as I pull a camper across the great USA. I'm having no luck finding a cargo liner that extends behind first row seats; only second row available in my suv make/model. Since these are made from recycled tires is there a strong rubber odor and/or a black color transfer from he mat?
lisa
Our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls will have a rubber odor to them when you initially receive them. To help mitigate this odor, we recommend cleaning the tiles with a mild soap and water solution and letting them air dry. You may have to do this a few times to get rid of the smell. If you have a light colored carpet, there is potential for our rubber to leave black marks on it. If you are concerned about this, you can place a plastic sheet under the rolls. The black rubber will not come off if walked on.
I wanted to use this to go over a subfloor in the basement to provide a firm layer of cushion for a dance floor.
Dance floor
You can use our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls as a subfloor under a dance floor. If the dance floor is a vinyl dance floor, we would recommend placing a plastic sheet between the vinyl and the rubber to prevent any staining that can occur when the two products come into contact.
Can this mat be laid down and rolled back up again for temporary slip resistance, or does it have to be taped or glued down permanently?
Sara B
You can lay down and roll back up our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls. These rolls don't have to be taped or glued.
Can 1/4" Tough Rubber Roll be painted?
DARRELL RAKESTRAW
You can paint on our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls. You will want to use acrylic paint.
Can this be used over a radiant heat floor? I'm thinking of putting the 5mm roll over a floor with SunTouch radiant wires set in thin set/concrete.
Jeff
You can install our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls over a radiant heating system. These rolls will not melt due to being installed over it. The melting point for rubber is 260 - 316 degrees. The only thing you will notice is that you may not get the full effects of the radiant heating system with the rubber over it. Rubber does have some insulating properties and is a better insulator than tile, stone, and concrete.
I have a sample of the 6mm Energy Rubber, is this the same material and will it wear the same?
Lou
Our Tough Rubber Rolls and our Energy Rubber Tiles are made from the same material. They are both made from recycled truck tire treads and would wear the same.
Do your rubber rolls off-gas? If so, how do you recommend airing them out before installing them indoors?
Our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls so have a smell to them which is due to off-gassing. If you are sensitive to the smell of our rubber flooring, we recommend mopping our rubber flooring with a mild soap and water solution and then letting it air dry. You will want to make sure that the room in which the rubber flooring will be installed is well ventilated. You may have to do this process a few times to get the smell of the flooring to a comfortable level.
I'd like to cut the roll to fit our space. Is it easy to cut? What method do you recommend to cut it?
Ryan
Our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls are very easy to cut. All you will need to cut these rolls is a sharp utility knife and a straight edge.
Do the 1/4" Tough rubber flooring rolls (made from recycled truck tires) contain asbestos?
Anthony
Our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls do not contain asbestos. If you would like a copy of the MSDS for this product, please feel free to reach out to one of our Flooring Heroes via phone, chat, or email.
I would like to use this in my woodshop. Will large/heavy tools such as a table saw or jointer roll on this?
David LeTourneau
You can use our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls as flooring in a woodshop. These rolls are very easy to clean and maintain and are very slip-resistant, even when wet. Since these rolls are somewhat porous, if there are any very small particles of wood, they may get stuck in the floor. To prevent this, we recommend sealing the floor with our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer. Our rubber flooring was designed to be used in commercial gyms, so these rolls are able to handle heavy equipment on them without getting damaged.
How do the rolls do with sweat. If I set bike trainers areas underneath can get hours of sweat. Would this be a problem with getting into the rolls?
Our Tough Rubber Rolls do have some pores in them. If the sweat is cleaned up fairly quickly, you can prevent the sweat from accumulating in the pores. But when working out for an extended period of time this can be tough to do. What we recommend to avoid the 'gym smell' that comes from sweat getting into the pores in the floor is to seal the floor with our Rubber Floor Finish and Sealer. This will ensure that no sweat gets caught in the small pores in the rubber.
Will the 1/4" absorb rubber weight plates being dropped without causing damage to the rubber flooring and/or the floor underneath the rubber flooring?
Frank
You can drop rubber bumper plates on our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls without causing any damage to the rubber flooring. Depending on the condition of your subfloor will determine if dropping heavy weight on them will cause any damage. If your subfloor is in good condition, then dropping bumper plates on our Tough Rubber Rolls will not damage the subfloor.
Is the 1/4" mat shock absorbent, as far as if I am using it as an exercise floor to do any jumping movements (jumping rope, high knees, box jumps, long jumps, squat/lunge jumps)? I will be laying it over a concrete garage floor.
Megan
Our standard rubber flooring can be used for jump training, but is not the most shock-absorbent or the best floor for this type of training. We do offer a wide range of impact flooring that would be perfect for this type of training and are some of the most shock-absorbent floors on the market today. You can find all of these floors on Impact Flooring list page.
Will the 1/4" be thick enough to withstand a Powertech weight bench with several attachments, a Powertech Squat machine, Elliptical Machine?
Our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls can withstand a Powertech weight bench it or any other fitness equipment. This thickness of rubber is typically used in commercial gyms where fitness equipment like treadmills, ellipticals, and the like will be used.
I currently have 1/2” interlocking EVA foam tiles for my flooring. Can you overlay the 1/4” rubber rolls? My room size is 16’x15’. When overlaying, would a protective layer need to be applied between the foam and rubber for a secure install?
Aaron
You can install our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls over an existing foam floor. We would recommend when installing rubber over any foam base to add a 1/4" plywood over the foam to ensure the rubber flooring doesn't separate when working out. If installed directly over the foam tiles, there is potential for a tripping hazard due to the foam depressing when walking on the floor.
Can this be used outdoors under a swing set?
Our Tough Rubber Rolls can be used outdoors under a swing set. Our rubber rolls are slip-resistant and even more so when wet. They will help to keep the area under your swing set protected while in use. These rubber rolls are very easy to clean and maintain and are mold and mildew resistant. The only thing you will notice is that these rolls will fade over time.
How dense is this product? We do not want it too squishy/soft.
Denise Juday Barnett
Our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls are not squishy at all. They are dense and will not squish underfoot.
Is this kid safe?
Mary Joyce
Our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls are safe for kids of all ages. Our rubber flooring is tested regularly to ensure that it is safe. If you are concerned about our flooring's safety, please feel free to reach out to one of our Flooring Heroes via phone, chat, or email, and they would be more than happy to assist you with your request.
I'd like to install the 1/4" rubber roll in my laundry room basement. It's a fairly enclosed space with small windows for limited ventilation. Also, the room includes my hot water tank and HVAC system; I'll lay the rubber down near this equipment but with a few feet of space from them. Are there any concerns about installing near my HVAC/hot water heater? (The ambient temperature in the room is not very much hotter than the rest of the house.) Thanks!
You can install our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls next to a hot water tank without any ambient heat affecting the rubber flooring.
I'd like to use this product on a wall. Will the double-sided tape be enough to hold it up, or do I have to secure them differently? Also, will I be able to drill through the material to secure equipment to the wall behind it?
BD
When installing our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls to the wall, you will want to glue them to the wall with a polyurethane adhesive. The easiest way to do this is with our Seam Sealer glue or our Premium Seam Sealer glue. The Premium version has little to no smell. You will then trowel the glue to make sure you have proper coverage. Next, place the flooring on the wall and then place a heavy object like a chair or table over the flooring to keep it in place while the glue adheres to it. Once bonded, you can remove the placeholder furniture. You can drill through our rubber flooring. You would use the same type of drill bit you would use to drill into the wall.
Is the 1/4 tough rubber suitable fir a chicken coop/livestock enclosure or can the chickens peck through it?
Sharon Cohen
Our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls are durable and often used in horse barns. These rolls are very slip-resistant and more slip-resistant when wet. They are also very easy to clean and maintain and are mold and mildew-resistant. Urine and other liquids will not pass through the floor.
Does rubber flooring have an R-Value?
Edward D Green
The typical R-Value for rubber flooring is 1.100.
Can you easily roll computer chairs across it?
Kyle Jarnot
Yes, you can easily roll a computer chair with wheels over our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls.
I have multiple questions. When we installed other rubber floors in the past, you had to cut the material and let it relax for a certain period. Do you need to do that with this material? Do you need the product to acclimate for a certain period? When using the double-sided tape install method, do you need to roll the material? In the past, we would normally overlap the material by 1/8" and tuck the seams together, so there is no gap. Do we need to do this with this material?
Michelle
With our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls and all of our flooring, we recommend allowing the flooring to acclimate. This acclimation would entail placing the flooring in the space where it will be installed unrolled for at least 24 - 48 hours. If installing our rubber rolls with double-sided tape, you would place the double-sided tape on the ends, the edge of the floor, and at the seams. The best way to do this is to install double-sided tape to the ends and outside edges. We recommend marking where the rolls would come together for the seams, placing the double-sided tape down, and then rolling the rolls over it. To get the best seams, you will want to overlap them and cut them. You will want to do it with any rolled material, as there is some variance with the width of the rolls.
Is there anything you need to do to affix the rubber to a concrete garage floor to prevent sliding?
Michael
If you are concerned that our 1/4" Tough Rubber Rolls will move around while in use, we recommend placing some double-sided tape around the perimeter of the floor, or you can do a full spread glue install. If you are going to glue the flooring down, we recommend using one of our polyurethane adhesives.

Self-installed in Basement
Steve from Wisconsin wrote...
I bought the 1/4 inch green fleck custom cut rubber rolls. Delivery was as expected and the FedEx driver was willing to leave the pallet loaded with 9 rolls in my garage. I installed the rolls in a 35 X 15 foot room in my basement over a concrete floor, which we use as an area for our 3 dogs. I did not have any help installing these, which made for a very long day. My room is a large rectangle, but has several features I had to work around. Cutting the 1/4 inch mat was not simple, but with the help of a 48 inch T Square I was able to keep my lines relatively straight. One negative is that the ends of the rolls are not cut in straight lines. This then requires you to cut a straight edge on both ends of the rolls, which is not as easy as you would think. I truly believe if the custom cut rolls were actually cut to size (rather than just being close) and in straight lines, I would have cut my install time (which was about 10 hours) by a third. I used Capitol brand Grip Strip (Double Faced Adhesive Tape) to secure the mats to the floor as necessary. This tape worked very well and was easy to use. All in all, the rubber floor is a nice product, but the uneven cuts and untrue measurement were actually pretty maddening, especially when you pay extra for a ″custom cut.″

I have a dog training facility and needed to cover about a 2000 SQ Ft areas for Agility training. The dogs needed a padded non skid surface and this fits the bill. VERY easy to put down, delivery to my door, BEST price in the country, and trust me, i am cheap and checked all over. Recommend to anyone. Cutting and fitting was easy as well. i bought the 1/4″ thickness and could not be happier!!!!!! the rolls were 61 feet long and 400 pounds, but even at that, they were not that hard to move around by one 56 year old overweight out of shape guy!
