Yeah, I think it would probably work well. It is pretty good quality..Hope this helps...

I think it would work very well, mine has not moved sense I put it down and I have lot's of traffic on it.
268962
yes it is thinner than a rug I would definitely believe it will work for you

Very thin and soft. OK for walking on but not good if you plan to sit in an office chair.

It should work perfectly! I am very happy with mine. It's got generic plastic runners beat by a mile!

I think you woud prefer the industrial carpeted version. I would also suggest to try to level the terrain as the mat may cause pooling of water along the surface if the path/driveway is too bumpy.

Hey Russ, though it's only a quarter inch thick, it's still a pretty heavy duty mat. I also use it in my garage to do CrossFit wods, but I keep it in the floor. When I do roll it up, it's only for a short time, and it hasn't retained any "memory" from being rolled up. I really don't think you'll have any problems with it, especially if you use it often and don't keep it rolled up for an extended period of time. Good luck!

Hi. These mats are very thin for heavy equipment. They should work as far as preventing the floor from scratching, but in my opinion, you would need a thicker mat for exercise equipment.

I had bought a good runner pad hoping that would solve the sliding problem on carpet, it helped and I like it but the tape solved the problem, it was EASY to work with mainly because you put the sticky side on the carpet then pull the covering off as you lay your runner. You will love it. It has been a month or 2 now and it has not moved at all and I walk on it constantly.

Absolutely that's where I use mine. Your choice of footwear will make a difference. Something without too much tread. I am thinking of buying a large floor mat like you'd use under the chair of a large desk but it isn't a deal breaker if your only option is to use it on carpeting.

I think so. I think it is or very similar to the automotive type materials like trunk lining, or cargo space lining in RV's. It is softer / non-abrasive to the touch, but way more durable then say wool felt. It is the same material as those outdoor throw turf carpets but this is thinner and a bit softer than those outdoor type carpets so it's very easy to manipulate. So I think would work well for your application. It's quite durable.

I used mine over concrete slab but tested them over hardwood and ceramic tile. They worked fine, no slippage. Although I can't say from personal experience, I would guess the carpet would have to be a very flat, low pile. I would also think that a workout with a lot of intense foot work might tend to separate the tiles.

Probably a thin carpet, but not very well. The wheels are thin and it works better on a hard surface. I use it to wheel around my crawl space since I have a mud slab (concrete).

Yes it should, using these on my garage floor is so much better than any other carpeted or rubber floor covering I've used in the past.

Depends on what you are trying to do... If you are trying to protect a carpet from getting indented, or just catch your sweat as you get a workout sure. If you are trying to reduce vibration to an apartment below, maybe not so much. I row in bare feet/socks, so the foamy/rubbery PVC is better on my feet (pleasant really) than a piece of plywood. Probably better than a 1/2 plywood for stubbed toes too, unless you round the edges and corners. The surface is non-slip, and that is working for me...not sure how much slippage you would see with plywood.

Absolutely, I have 2 runner rugs that I taped down over carpet (very long rugs), very easy to do as is double sided and easy to work with. I have had it down now for over 2 months and as not slipped at all. It is in high traffic area. I love this stuff. I even used it to cover up gap in door for insulation.

I don't know whether you need the PVC mat. Mine is on carpet in the exercise room. A small throw rug would probably suffice.

this rubber-mat is fairly thick and doesnt sound like it would match your criteria. I was surprised that it was very thick, however the length of it is quite small considering the dimensions of the floor is not that substantial.

I used it for a vertical application (backing for a velcro spice rack). The carpet tiles work wel but the adhesive is a bit dodgy. would use additional adhesive if you want it to be up long term.

Simply because I'm a "heavy-duty" kind of guy, I would not recommend this matting for your garage. It's more of a soft foam pad. A more rubberized material would seem to be the best choice. Hope this helps!

It seems to me that this is a question for the manufacturer from a durability and longevity perspective (and what they warranty). However, from a materials standpoint if you are using them for a work out it may not be thick enough to absorb lots if bouncing shock. They are about 1 inch thick perfect for a wood floor or over carpet. Also, I would suggest picking them up after use because they are not designed as a long term walking surface.
