Anyone knows if these would be good on ceramic tiled floors - in terms of rolling smoothly, leaving marks and such? Thanks in advance.

Probably work OK. I don't think the wheels would leave any marks since they all swivel.

I'm not sure since I use a chair mat on top of carpet. However, I think they would be okay but I don't know if the tile would be easily marked if there was dirt or grit between the caster and tile.

The tiles actually stay together really well, and I haven't really had any sliding issues at all on either carpet or smooth concrete, so you should be fine. The only thing is that you get a bit less than you expect for the price. I'd measure how much surface area you want covered first, and compare with their measurements.

Hi - I think the reason the suggest that is they have a very rough surface, good for cleaning but also collects lint from your other clothes. I found that these get very dirty and require an extra amount of hand scrubbing before i put them in the washing machine. I spray them with Resolve, and then scrub them on a washboard or with a dish brush and then wash them seperately. I have washed them with other things, but as i suggest they collect a lot of fibers from other items in the wash. This is a great machine for cleaning floors, even the "smell good" pellets are great. One suggestion, don't buy a lot of backup pellets as the ones that come with the machine will last you many cleanings, if you remove them before washing. This is my 5+ Star cleaning machine, it is even better than when i first reviewed it. I did order additional pads so that i had at least 2 to 3 for the whole house. I have 1400 sq feet of ceramic tile.

I have light floors in the kitchen, but have seen none of the marks like shoe heels sometimes leave. My only caution is that you put them firmly down flat on wet surfaces, because if you set the tip on its edge, it will slip. I just bought a second set as I was so happy with them.

We have had no slipping on the tile floors we come in contact with. They are absolutely marvelous. The only time we have had a slip is if it encountered a bit of dog hair on the floor (from our new long haired dog.)

I haven't tried them on tiled floor; they should work except, possibly, over grouted areas.

Yes they roll more than they slide. I have owned three previous chair mats for plush carpeting by ES Robbins, Staples and Office Depot before this and they all were inferior to this model from Floortex. The 5 wheels on my chair do not dig or indent at all into the mat which they did do with all 3 previous mats. The smooth side that faces up has a much better feel as to quality and thickness without being so slick that you could slip on it wearing socks. I really think that is the best chair mat I have ever owned!!

I put them on dining set chairs on hardwood floors and I do not get a grinding noise. However, I live near the beach so when sand eventually makes its way under they can but just need to be wiped clean. If my floors are clean and the sliders are clean they are pretty smooth

I'm not sure if they would mar the surface. They work well on our tile and they don't leave scuff marks.

I used them on laminate floors which are very slick. These are very good for preventing movement on any surface. Therefore unlikely to cause any scratches on any floor. They are nearly one half inch in thickness and very robust. A very heavy weight will compress them some what, but I believe it would be impossible to compress them so much as to ding any floor. Certainly they would be much better than the bed alone. I cut one of them hem in quarters to put under the legs of an easy chair.

I have ceramic flooring which is durable and i would be nervous to put these heavy stools on linoleum. That being said, I would contact the company to ask them, because I don't want to steer you wrong.

see my review on Dec 14, 2012 in the 3 star group, I think they would have the same issues on a tile floor, in my view they are intended to slide on carpet...however other reviewers say they have used them on bare floors

I put mine on plywood (6-8 mos ago), so I can't say for sure. If memory serves me correctly, they were VERY sticky/tacky. Guessing you are talking about a flat, commercial feel carpet? I would guess they would stick, but if you are talking about very serious wear & movement by those on the squares (yoga class, day care etc), think I'd be pretty cautious....good luck!

I have ceramic tile but I have not moved them so can't answer that. But they work great for us. Wish I knew about them earlier.

If you are looking for non slip I do not believe they would because they are hard. They stop some slipping from the top of them but you can step on them and if they are not secure you and the tile will slide if it is on a surface like smooth wood. I was able to put them wall to wall in one direction to keep sliding to a minimum.

Yes,I am using them on carpeted floors now. You may wish to achor them to your wall for safety. Good solid consruction for this price level
