Could these mats be used in a woodworking basement workshop? They may be covered in sawdust sometimes and I am wondering if they will be slippery.

You shouldn't have a problem with the mats being slick. For a workshop they should be fine.

I don't think any sort of particulate you would find in a woodshop would be of concern. Sawdust might make them slide on the floor (if it is concrete) a bit easier, but if you got one of those anti-slip mats (http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00hMUQviAGHHoV/Anti-Slip-Mat-LY-ASM31-.jpg) that often get put under rugs and such, that would probably fix it. Wood shavings shouldn't be an issue either. I've found that they are generally not slippery, even if they get wet.

I use these very mats around my basement workshop including my chop saw and they work just fine. Only thing is use a wide nozzle on the shop vacuum for easy clean up. Not slippery at all!

I guess that depends if you're covering the whole room where you're putting it against the walls or to the baseboards of the walls. Are you covering the whole floor wall to wall? I do not know from experience so I can't guess that they might slip a little bit or not. It also depends on how much square footage you're putting down and how aggressive your aerobic workout is going to be. They are great pads they work really well for my basement where I do have them wall to wall for lifting weights and do some lunges. but again I cannot give you a definitive answer to your question . I wish you good luck with whatever choice you make. John G./USMC I guess that depends if you're covering the whole room where you're putting it against the walls or to the baseboards of the walls.

I would say this is not the right solution for you. These work good on wood floors but might get quickly worn out on concrete or brick. I would look for something else.

They slip on wood a bit but, I sort of started walking to make up for it. I only have wood flooring in a few rooms of my house so it doesn't really bother me.

I use the mats because I have a 3 x 6' run at the bottom of the cage (and a two story 'condo' at one end with ramps up and down). I have the whole set up on a scrap of linoleum, to protect the floor beneath from any spills and from smell. I use the mats to give my bunny traction to get around. They are also cooler in the summer. I used to use towels, but found he shredded them and I was afraid he might ingest them too. I hope this answers your question :-)

I would think that they would be heat resistand because they are thick and sturdy. However I would think that the constant use of placing heat on it would dry the wood out and they would become brittle... I don't now for sure. I was more than pleased with the construction of this placemat and it's durability.

If your floor is concrete there shouldn't be a problem. I also think that floorboards with adequate covering would also work. It's a great way to work out- go ahead place the order.

probably. thats what im getting them for. i got some very inexpensive ones at big lots about 2 years ago. they are still in fine condition though very dirty.i would imagine these would be at least as good. (this has been 2 years year round, all weather of snow, sun, rain in portland, oregon.) my play area is one of those plastic fisherprice deals for younger kids. i wouldnt consider these mats as a fall-safety item from anything higher than a couple of feet, if that.)

Yes. I used these on top of hardwood floors and I even had an Olympic bench bar loaded with 20 lbs on each side get dropped by a child playing in my gym and the floors were untouched. Don't worry, child wasn't hurt either and we explained it was dangerous to play in the gym and never happened again. as an extra precaution I put cheap thin plastic mats under the entire room and used these heavy rubber mats under major equipment like my smith machine.

I have mine in my garage so I honestly could not be sure about it sliding on the carpet. But having said that, I would be concerned about the fine black "dirt" that comes off the mat. I am still trying to figure out what that is, and surely would not want that on my carpet. The makers of this mat are probably not happy about my "dirt" comments but I would love it if they could tell how to make this go away.

I placed the matts under my living room rug as a crash pad for the kids and a fun and comfortable living space. They are on top of hardwood floor and don't move around at all. They seem pretty firm and havnt lost much of the firmness but I expect they will soften up with time. I've had them for about 12 months now. I'm sure with time it will loose thickness in high traffic areas. They are probably not as good as what you would find in a karate or jiu jitsu studio but so far just as good. Hope this helps. Also, find the cheapest one even if it's not a prime item sometimes it's cheaper to pay the shipping.

I would not know for I use this as an undermat to gym equipment. I will say that it is not slippery on a wood floor.

No, I think if they got even a little wet they'd be slippery. And walking on them probably would crack them after some time. They are made for wire shelving.

I have these in my basement where we have stained concrete floors. The top coat of wax scratches very easily and these chairs haven't scratched that yet. So I wouldn't think they would scratch hardwoods.

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.

I gave them as gifts. The people I gave them to didn't say ,whether or not they were slippery. I would think if you are walking on a surface that is like linoleum it would be slippery I don't know as I said.

The mat has velcro around perimeter that could be used for some traction if the floor was carpeted enough to adhere. Mat would slip across wood floor without something holding it in place. Hope this helps.
