Can anyone with laminate flooring answer more specifically if these mats cause the flooring to change color?

I. have only used this 1 1/2 months. does not discolor the floor, but it is already losing ppart of the design.

no it didn't, but the floor matt did not hold its color for more than a couple of weeks. it is really over priced.

Flooring has NOT changed color, however the color is changing and ruffling around edges.Didn't expect this so soon.

I am using the mats on my cement walk, brick stairs and brick entryway landing. I have not seen any discoloration. I have not secured the mats but they are heavy and haved stayed in place without any slipping. They are very effective at melting snow!

No. Truthfully, I haven't had the best experience with them. I just took up the floor I laid down about two months ago because the tiles kept sliding around. They wouldn't stick. I've had experience with vinyl flooring in the past, I've fine three floors if my house with wood look vinyl flooring which worked well, these, not so much.

I haven't had that problem, nor has my daughter who uses them. If I were having that issue, I think I would perhaps think about lowering the oven temperature and then, if that didn't work, I'd consider altering the time. One or the other of these should address the problem...but I would find a way to keep using the mats...I LOVE the easy clean up!

I have had no problem. I have them on kitchen chairs, rolling directly on a laminate floor. As I recall, most office chair mats have a rough surface. For that application a harder caster may be a better answer.

I have noticed they can change color over time. I don't know if that has any impact on their effectiveness.

Short answer is yes. I have manufactured hardwood floors (laminated). At first I had difficulty due to lack of experience and worked with too large of a section of floor. Some areas dried with white streaks and I freaked. When I learned to spread the product more evenly and thin, it worked wonders and restored the shine back to our floors...floors that were scratched by our dog. The difference to our floors using this product exceeded my expectations.

I am sorry I cannot help you as my mat is on carpet. If you find out the answer let me know as we are about to replace the area's carpet with wood flooring.

I think so. I have wood manufactured floors that have a laminate over, or some sort of finish (maybe acrylic). Of course, you can try a very small area. I don't have the container in front of me, but I'll read it and see if it says anything about laminate and write again.

Yes. it has a slightly tacky side on the bottom of the mat and a light marbled texture on the top. We have epoxy floors at work and they work great, stay in place, and have caused NO discoloring.

I took off my carpet mats and replaced them with these. The front mats may not lay well, or at all, if you leave the carpet mats in place. However in the back I'm sure you could leave the original carpet mats but I removed them. Why not just take them away?

I also have hardwood floors and haven't noticed any scuff marks or damage to my floor as a result of using the mat. My largest complaint is actually in regards to the rubber smell. It does not go away. Ever. It's been three months and my bedroom still smells like a gym....

I have never used them for that. I have some scrap pieces, maybe I should try that. I install laminate flooring to some times...

I do not have hard wood floors. I have a laminate. And I have not moved the bed too heavy, to look for discoloration.

I have my mats on vinyl tile. So far no discoloration on my floors, but not sure about wood.

The color is the same as the top. The entire mat is literally just one piece of rubber with the gel in the middle. I have been using them for a month now and have not had any issue with color rubbing off on flooring. By the way they are made I don't think it would be a problem. There is really nothing that could rub off onto anything.

Mine are used directly on vinyl plank flooring and I don't have any problems. Maybe they would work better directly on the floor rather than on a mat.
