I can't imagine a scenario where 1/8" would be worth the money and effort to install.
I plan to put it on the concrete floor of my garage to reduce slippage for my treadmill and a weight machine. I don't need anything terribly thick, just grippy. This is perfect.
I bought 1 and Im considering getting another. This is perfect for around my bike and punching bag. Im not really sure why people are not into this deal, its not a 1 inch thick soft mat. Thats not what it claims to be and thats not its application. Its very durable and perfect for areas that get abuse.
Thank you for posting. Unfortunately the reviews about the smell of this product is why I'll skip this one.
All rubber has a smell. If that's a problem, get carpet.
Fresh rubber is a lot stronger. If you can open the bag and let it breathe in the garage or better outside for a few weeks, a LOT of that fades. You don't want rubber matting in your living room.
This is anti skid flooring only at best. It has a very limited purpose. At 1/8 of an in, it will not protect concrete from weights, it could tear from movement of heavy objects, and is likely to fold in the middle instead of lay flat if you DO move on it.
For it's use case, you're probably far better off getting anti-skid adhesive feet for whatever you planned to put on top of it.
If you go to tractor supply, they sell horse stall flooring. It's VERY thick and heavy vulcanized rubber (think shredded tires compressed and remelted together). you can drop an olympic bar on it and they use it a lot in professional gyms. It's very affordable, durable, cushy, and stable.
