Will the self adhesive mess up my hardwood floor?

Absolutely not. The adhesive is very strong but it can be removed. This is absolutely ideal for stairs that are hardwood or any floor with a slippery surface.

Absolutely yes. I have avoided all the ones that say they will harm wood floors. (although mine are so old and damaged that it would be hard to tell.) It's better for carpets but it works perfectly on the wood too. However, I don't soak the wood, as I would a carpet. I just wipe it on and leave it.

I personally haven't had it used on hardwood, but the wheels are exactly like roller skate wheels and I don't think that it will affect the wood.

In my experience, yes. The adhesive sticks well, but will let go. I've removed them from all kinds of surfaces (metal, wood, plastic, laminate). If you are super concerned about a wood surface, I'd recommend testing in an out of the way spot (like up under a lower shelf). Also, you could use something like Goo Gone that would release the adhesive, then peel it off carefully with a finger nail or something plastic, and finally rub of the remaining adhesive/Goo Gone with a paper towel. I'm 95% certain it would be just fine. (ts)

We have it on high gloss bamboo floors in our front room by our front door. We have a 115 pound German Shepherd puppy that plays hard and usually jumps all over this area. I didn't use adhesive because I didn't want to ruin my floors, so all I did was take some super strong clear duct tape and tape all the squares together on the bottom (a strip on each connecting side, sticky side away from wood floor). This gave the tiles extra grip and even though they get high traffic and abuse, we have been very happy with them. They are holding up VERY well and move very little. Like I said, we play tug of war with our very large puppy on them and they move a little, but my other carpet (which was much more expensive, with a carpet padding underneath) moved all over he place and was destroyed within a year. So, I would recommend these tiles and then strong clear duct tape to hold them together better. Without the duct tape they really don't move much because they have a good rubber backing but the tape really stopped most movement. I hope this helps.

This is only to be used for for restoration/damaged wood. If the floors have been previously coated in a polyurethane coating (typical non-wax type floor treatment), it will bead up and ruin your floors. But the good news is it won't make your floors slippery :)

Yes, most likely, in fact in will likely fall off on its own accord as there is not much adhesive in the first place...I ended up using extra glue to get it to stick!

I have tile floors so I checked the bottle. It doesn't say anything about it being harmful to wooden floors.

Not very well. Gorilla Glue would be a better choice. The original brown formula. Wet both pieces, and clamp in place, as it foams considerably. Or use construction grade subflooring adhesive.

It will not! This mat has been fantastic! It's been sitting on my hardwoods for a few months and I have had 0 issues. Highly recommended.

self adhesive but you can put one on. My guy seem to really like this sander. We use them for solid surface.

I've used it on my hardwood floors and I didn't have a problem but I think it might depend on what kind of hardwood you have or whether you actually have laminate (and how hard/soft the wood is). I used it on Bamboo and solid Oak and there weren't any problems.

I have been using this on my sealed hardwood floors for about 7mo, and I have not had any problems.

No the adhesive is not strong enough in my opinion. I think it will come loose when repeatedly walking over it or/and cleaning the floor.

I'd say no to adhesive, but you could attach a vecro-adhesive to the rubber duct. Depending on the carpet, the velcro will grip to the flooring surface. Mines on a carpet floor and lays flat, no issue.

Not a good idea! You will damage your flooring and not get full sink on the staple which will eventually show a dimple in the next piece of wood. You also can't get the pressure you need to get the planks tight against each other.

Yes I think it will be fine just know that the glue is very adhesive and I had to scrape it off the floor...hope this helps.
