- Is this mat safe for a baby or toddler?
- It carries an ASTM child-safe rating and is latex free and lead free, so it is intended for play areas. As with any foam mat, supervise infants and check tiles for tears over time.
- Can I use it under a treadmill or weight bench?
- It is not built for that. The soft foam compresses under heavy, pointed loads, and the smooth top gives little grip for sweaty workouts.
- How thick is it and what size are the tiles?
- Each tile is 24 in. by 24 in. and 12 mm thick. Border pieces are included for a straight, finished edge.
- Does it need adhesive or a underlay?
- No adhesive is needed or included; the tiles interlock and sit on any subfloor. A flat, clean subfloor gives the best result.
- Can it go in a garage or outdoors?
- No. It is rated for indoor use and is water resistant rather than waterproof, so it is not suited to outdoor or wet areas.
- How does it compare with rubber gym flooring?
- Foam is softer, quieter and cheaper to cover a play area, but rubber resists dents, scratches and sweat far better. Choose foam for kids and comfort, rubber for weights.
