Ordered a C2 yesterday. Now debating if I need the PVC mat. I have hardwood floors. I am planning to stick on some heavy duty felt pads. Good idea&#16;?

Buy the pad. It's high quality, keeps the machine from moving, and will protect your floors. Very glad I bought it.

I used 1/4" cork underlayment bought in 200 square foot rolls. I taped the seems. Turned out perfect. Best floors ever. Seal with Bona Traffic. Even placed in my bathroom. No problems.

I have hardwood floors, too, and it did reduce noise and vibration quite a bit. That being said, I would have to think the thicker mat would be best for noise reduction.

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.

These, like everything else, have a hard plastic glide. I do not trust that on my wood floors. I applied self-stick felt pads to plastic guides. They work great. Buy extra felt pads because they do work loose over time. You can buy a whole bag for few bucks. By the way, I really like the stools. I bought 5 around 18 months ago.

My treadmill is on the 2nd floor on bamboo. The mat has helped with vibrations & noise from my running. My husband has commented that it is quieter downstairs than when it was just on the bare floor. If I was buying a second one I would get the thicker mat.

We had just put down a new wood floor before purchasing these. We also used the self stick felt pads and they work great. Not sure how the feet would stand up to your floors. We LOVE these stools though, and are very good quality. I would recommend just getting some felt pads to use if you really like these stools.

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

Using the larger mat is definitely easier if your project is atleast 12 x 12. I am not familiar with the differences in quality of vinyl that I have purchased in the past. I usually purchase what seems to be the best deal. And transfer tape will make your job soooo much easier than trying to peal it off the vinyl and apply yourself. Thanks

I agree, yes to both. The mat is great! Every new cabinet install should come with one of these. Unfortunately, I didn't know these existed when I really needed it, but I'm sure it will prevent any future problems.

Other good answers (doable; add a PVC insert). Keep in mind that this is doable if you are good at doing this type of stuff and have a good drill and so on. I'm decent, but not confident it would look great.

Totally agree with answers posted. Surface is very different from other mats and helps prevent slipping.

WhitneyRead more reviews about power mats. I cannot remember why but i did not end up buying one because of poor quality. Think about it. Does anyone you know own one? Be thorough Whitney :)

I haven't encountered any problems with the pads, the orange part is slightly soft. However I've only done one job with new hardwoods, every other time I've been on old scuffed floors. Obviously watch out for stuff like drywall mud or mortar which will make your pads more prone to scratch, I know I've had to clean up mine.

I purchased the mat to protect my hardwood floors. I haven't noticed any vibrations or noise as a result of my treadmill. That may be due to the fact that I have a brand new treadmill.

I think a yoga mat would work well. I'm on laminate flooring and my yoga mat works great for any floor exercises. You could also buy a yoga mat that is a little thicker than the usual ones if you need extra cushion.

You might want to consider getting at least a throw rug to put directly on your hardwood floor and then put the mat on the rug. That way no moisture would get under the mat to damage your floor. The mat also help to lessen the sound of my treadmill, and I'm really glad I have it. If you had to move your treadmill, having the rug under the mat would make it very easy to slide it on your floor. Hope this helps.
