This rubber mat is mainly valued as a heavy, durable surface for garages, home gyms, ramps, and outdoor areas, with the flat side often used up and the textured underside helping with drainage and grip. It is praised for being comfortable underfoot, easy to hose off, and much cheaper than similar mats at Home Depot or Lowe's. The main drawbacks are inconsistent cuts and sizing that can leave gaps, plus the 1/2 inch thickness is not ideal for dropped weights. It can also be heavy to move, may smell at first, and may leave marks on floors.
The embossed spacer side can improve shock absorption and help drain water during outdoor use.
The honeycomb underside design can let water hose off and drain for screened-in outdoor areas.
The rubber surface provides good grip for gym floor use and deadlift platform builds.
The mats can be cut to fit, with only edge trimming needed for many outdoor layouts.
Improper cutting and edge misalignment can leave noticeable gaps between pieces when covering larger areas.
The thinner 1/2-inch version may be less confidence-inspiring for dropped weights or heavy equipment.
The mats can arrive with cracks or splits when shipping rolls them tightly for transport.
Oil or contaminant spots on the flat side can cause slight foot sliding on tile surfaces.

I wouldn't want this in my house, esp. not anywhere kids might be.

Reason is because you can drop iron plates and iron dumbbells on 3/4 rubber mats, and won't do any harm to the floor. Mats that are 1/2 can't take dropping weight, you will have to more gently place the weight on the floor, not drop. And even if you plan to place them gently, accidents happen and weight gets dropped on the floor.

Not worth discussing with you, as I'm sure your mind is made up.
But in case others are interested (plenty of more in-depth info out there as well)

You think the rubber in tires is exactly the same as the rubber in "rubber balls, rubber erasers, rubber bands any sort of rubber! Your kidding right?"

OMG did you know that cars also have rubber tires on them and that rubber flakes off onto the roadway and sidewalks on your streets? OMFG you better never take your kid for a walk on a sidewalk or put them in your car for a drive......... THE HORROR OF IT ALL DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Do you think they would work on a concrete driveway with a slight incline? I'd like to use as an oil mat for a vehicle with a very small oil leak
- The honest conclusion from current evidence is:
- Heavy metals yea don't eat the rubber and you will be fine, if a child is at the age where they are putting random things in their mouth you know be an adult and supervise them!!
- VOC's it is outside so there is this thing called a breeze that makes it unlikely you can breath enough VOC to matter! Anything plastic or rubber of vinyl on the planet emits some VOC's it is a part of life!
- PAHs, are only likely if rubber is on fire aka burning it so not a worry ! smoking, also common in urban air pollution, wood smoke, vehicle exhaust, and heavily charred food. The amount in playground rubber is usually much lower than industrial exposure levels
The bigger immediate safety risk on most playgrounds is still: and soft rubber improves safety by a huge margin vs any possible concerns damage by helping with fall protection, scrapes from hard surfaces!- There is no strong proof that playground crumb rubber causes widespread illness or cancer in children.
- But there are also ongoing concerns because recycled tire material can contain: ( Some concerns but no evidence or proof of any harm caused)
- heavy metals,
- PAHs,
- VOCs,
- and other industrial chemicals.
Some localized testing projects found elevated lead or contaminants in older installations.Current practical consensus
Most public health agencies today treat modern crumb-rubber playgrounds as:
- Probably low risk for typical use
- but not risk-free
- and requiring proper maintenance, drainage, cleaning, and heat management.
The bigger immediate safety risk on most playgrounds is still:- falls,
- poor maintenance,
- hard surfaces,
- exposed concrete edges,
- and worn-out surfacing.
Takeaways:https://www.epa.gov/chemical-rese...laygroun
- However, the EPA's exposure study generally found that:
- most chemical releases into the air were low
- many outdoor air levels were similar to background levels
- metals had low bioaccessibility (little actually absorbed by the body)
- biomonitoring did not show higher PAH exposure in turf users compared with grass-field users
So… is it safe?The most accurate summary is:
- Current evidence does not show a clear major health risk from normal use of tire crumb fields/playgrounds.
- But the material is not chemically inert or completely risk-free.
- There are still unanswered questions about:
- long-term exposure
- effects on children
- indoor facilities with poorer ventilation
- heat-related emissions
- environmental contamination/microplastics
The EPA itself stopped short of declaring it completely safe. Their wording is more cautious: exposures appear "likely limited," but chemicals are present and exposure can occur.Sign up for a Slickdeals account to remove this ad.
