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!

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).

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 :)

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.

I am sure hosing them off would suffice for your intended use. We have 3 mats and use them inside at door areas. We are very satisfied with their performance .

Well you certainly could do that, but I don't think it would work out too well over time. The mats are great for impact from weights, benches, equipment, but it would probably slide a bit or even come apart with the quick turns associated with suicides. If you are flooring a home gym to begin with they are certainly still worth it, but used for running alone these would not be ideal. Better off looking for utility rugs that are all in one peice

They slip on wood a bit but, I sort of started walking to make up for it. I only have wood flooring in a few rooms of my house so it doesn't really bother me.

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!

My basement shop is 24 x 32 and it works just fine. I do cabinet making, wood turning and wood carving, with the full compliment of power saws, sanders, routers, etc. If I am doing a lot of sanding, I still use vacuum connected to the sander, and work right in front of the Shop Fox, otherwise just in proximity to the dust producing tool (I did not ceiling mount it).

There is a smooth surface that I believe would be safe for hardwood floors... however if it were me placing this bed on a hardwood floor I would glue felt squares to that surface for even more protection.

I was using mine in my basement, with a rug on the floor. My hockey sticks broke indoors. Plus it is knee hockey, so it might be hard to do outdoors.

I cannot answer your question about wood floors as we use them on laminate floors. Sorry.

Veronica, Haven't tried that, as I always use place mats. The wood is polyurethane finished, so I assume you probably could, although I would avoid it if possible.

I wouldn't use them for that purpose. There is a slightly raised pattern on them (making them great for a non-slip surface). They are great on a basement floor to add a level of comfort for joints when doing plyo, aerobics, placing fitness machines on as well as layig a yoga mat on. But I don't think they are the type of mat designed well for Jiu Jitsu or wrestling.

I used this regularly on the floors in a fitness studio and it would dry pretty quickly. Did not have any issues with making it slippery.

I have mine in my garage so I honestly could not be sure about it sliding on the carpet. But having said that, I would be concerned about the fine black "dirt" that comes off the mat. I am still trying to figure out what that is, and surely would not want that on my carpet. The makers of this mat are probably not happy about my "dirt" comments but I would love it if they could tell how to make this go away.

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