Rubber Roll Mats: Quick-Ship

Floorscore is made up of a product's VOC certification as well as the recycled content. We have those in two separate certifications from 3rd parties (GreenCircle for recycled content and Berkeley Analytical for VOC). We are happy to provide this documentation.  A good article to find out more about these certifications is here: https://www.mychemicalfreehouse.net/2018/12/what-green-certifications-mean-for.html

Rubber Roll Matting is a dense rubber flooring, but can still be cut down with little effort - essentially, the rubber rolls can be cut using a utility knife with a fresh, sharp blade and a straight edge or T-square.  (For larger, commercial jobs, some parts may even be cut down with a flooring tile cutter.)  If using a utility knife, it will take several strokes of the knife.  Mark the line to be cut and then score it with the blade before doing a deeper cut.  Don't press too hard but just put some pressure on as you cut and, after a few strokes, you'll get a clean cut right through the rubber. A good trick to help make the cutting a little easier is to dip the blade into soapy water to help it glide with less friction.  A hand saw (and especially a power saw) would be too fast and dangerous for cutting down the rubber flooring and could even prevent a straight cut edge.

Vacuuming will help remove finer particles of dust, debris, dirt, etc. from the rubber flooring.  (Although not necessary but for a deeper cleaning, you can easily mop the all-rubber rolls with a mild detergent or a little soap and warm water. Simply let the rubber air dry and they'll be good to go.)  However. sweeping and/or vacuuming should take care of virtually all of your day-to-day dirt and debris.

Rubber Roll Matting is manufactured here in the US from American-sourced raw materials.  This rubber flooring meets the strictest safety regulations on both the finished product and the raw components as well as Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) ratings.  Rubber rolls are not poisonous and non-toxic and therefore safe to use in both commercial environments as well as around kids and pets in the home.

Rubber Flooring Rolls can simply be loose laid over the existing flooring (as long as it's not a thick, plush carpet) without securing them with glue or tape if being used in a residential setting (regardless of the intensity of the workouts).  For commercial facilities and spaces where heavy equipment may be dragged on the floor it would be most prudent to glue the rubber rolls to the floor.

Rubber Roll Matting can be used over compacted gravel without issue.  The rubber will still hold up well and provide impact resistance and energy restitution.  The rubber itself is slip-resistant, even when wet, and will provide for many years of use.  Any snow, rain or salts dripping from a car or truck will not negatively impact the rubber rolls.

Certainly - desk chairs with wheels can easily roll across the surface of this rubber matting without difficulty and the wheels won't harm the rubber rolls.

1/4" thick rubber rolls weigh right around 1.3 Lbs per square foot; 3/8" thick jumps to about 2 Lbs per square foot and 1/2" thick rubber roll matting weighs in at approximately 3 Lbs per square foot.  (The percentage of color, if present, can have a slight effect on the actual weight.)

Rubber Roll Matting is typically a little less expensive compared to interlocking rubber tiles like Fit-Lock Tiles, and allows you to cover large areas with less installation effort. For smaller/tighter spaces and areas that are not rectangular in shape, interlocking tiles make the process easier and quicker.  The actual material and warranty are the exact same.  Please note that these tiles are 2' x 2' in size whereas rubber roll matting is always 4' wide (and is cut down to whatever length is needed).

Certainly - Rubber Roll Matting can be implemented both indoors and outside and not be harmed by the rain, snow, wind or sun.  Please note, however, that the rubber can expand and contract slightly in areas with more widely-ranging temperatures.  Thus, if multiple rolls are being butted up again each other (and especially if not being placed under heavy equipment), it could be helpful to glue them down to prevent the expansion/contraction.
