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!

They have held up great. They might be good for hardwood floors if you put a rubber mat down the size of the base. They are medal.

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.

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.

They are so wonderful. The garage floor is totally protected by these mats. We used them to cover the whole shop area for my husband's woodworking and home repairs. We think they were definitely worth the price. And, yes we are parking on them, too.

We use the mats on our back deck leading to our hot tub. Have 5 connected together. Because they are heavy but also on a flat surface we don't secure them. No stain or burn mark on the wood. Love them.

I guess it depends on how hard the laminate is, I would assume it's okay. I am using them on my hardwood floors - however I think I'm going to put down some kind of rug - I am starting to see indentions in the hardwood (nothing major, but noticeable in the right light and at the right angle).

I use it on the workbench... It's not very thick at all and about about as thick as the standard blue ones I see everywhere. I wouldn't use it as a floor mat, but that's just me...

These mats are for workbench use. They come with connections that are used for wrist straps also.I really like them but, be careful around hot soldering irons and hot boards. The mats will melt.

No they can be used for woodworking I use this sander in my cabinet shop daily and it does a great job

This is a little hat to reply to as I don't know the donation or type of floor. I used the swifter on laminate flooring which did NOT make the floor slippery. This is a cleaner! I bought another Swifer for my hardwood floors up in N.E. The finish on the floors itself, can make the floors slippery until they are dried but I would not blame the Swifer. Let it dry!

I have this mat on a wood floor. It is connected to a second mat. They do not slip. They are heavy. Those using it are 70 a 165. They do dance and gymnastics in it. One mat is not enough to cover what they like to do.

I don't find that they are slippery. They are thick and heavy weight. I use them at the entrace/exit of my walk in shower so suck up any extra moisture on the floor. I would think that any rug or mat of the floor can potentially become a trip hazard but which is worse slippery wet floor or potential trip hazard in a bath mat. We love the 2 bath mats we have.

I'm guessing that you need to wear sneakers while doing the workout? I would like to do it in my basement, but it is carpeted. Is this a problem? I would imagine that a yoga mat might help for some things, but not for others.

It is used in our home to practice gymnastics such as front and back walk overs , back bends, cartwheels, ext., We have hard wood floors as well and (slipping) it hasn't been an issue. We love you the mats. They can be velcroed together. They are durable and not too heavy to move around for placement. Hope that helps.

I have a slippery table also and these place mats work well at staying in place. I have had them for a while and out of the many types of mats that I have used I like these the best.

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.
