I would like to use this in a basement bedroom. The floor is cement. How would you suggest I secure them to the floor?

We just laid ours out and bc it went wall to wall they dont really shift....not even when I vacuum. I tried using double sided tape but that didnt stick well and hold so I gave up and just left it. Has not been a problem at all.

As long as you're going wall to wall, you probably won't need to secure them to the floor at all. We put ours down without any adhesive, and they stay put with no problem at all.

We also installed this on a cement slab & used 2" wide 3M carpet tape (it looks like clear packing tape that is sticky on both sides & comes on a roll), using a 2" long piece on each side of the 4 corners of the carpet tile squares, & another 2" piece in the center of each tile. We've had it down for several months now, in a very heavily used office room & we've had no issues with it coming up.

I had the same situation. On half of it I used 2-sided carpet tape and nothing on the other half. After 4 months I can't tell any difference. The occasional tile (fewer than 10%) in both sections didn't seem to lay perfectly flat so I put two widths of tape underneath them and solve the problem. These tiles are perfect for a basement.

We have used the tile on our garage floor(cement)...as we turned the garage into a playroom. We glued the carpet tiles down and it workers perfectly!

Absolutely will work, ours is attached to a large screw eye in our ceiling joist. I found we were happier when the screw eye was close to a basement wall. With it close to the wall you can put your feet against the wall for some exercises.

These nails are heat tempered, they're designed for use with concrete dense walls. They're also designed in the set to hang weighted items. If you have plaster walls you may want to look into anchored hanging hardware. If you're in a newly renovated apartment chances are you may have sheetrock walls. If you do have sheetrock walls you should look into hanging hardware for those type of walls. Signed, Carpenter / Handyman / NYC Housing Official

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.

My husband uses these in his basement workshop, they are very nice. They are used right over a concrete floor.they are not spongy but I dont know how a shelf would do, you could cut out a spot for the shelves legs to sit right on the floor.

They have plastic insert bottoms, so the metal should not touch the floor. You might be able to attach felt pads to the bottoms as well.

As mine are in the basement, I cut around the treadmill to minimize any bounce. The tiles can defintely withstand the equipment if you are utilizing for floor protection.

You would want some kind of foam or inflate able mattress under it. Concrete floors are what they are... I love this product and used it many times last summer while camping.

You will need to find the joists and screw hooks into them. The sheetrock will not hold more than a couple of pounds. My grandkids use theirs in the bedroom and spend quite a bit of time with it.

You would be able to use it in the basement; however, it does move a bit if it is hit really hard. My son uses it in the garage all the time without being staked down.

Dear Carl,SentrySafe provides tools to fix this safe to the wall. It will be from the back to what I noticed. I did not see any provision for fixing it to the floor.Thank you,B. M.

I put mine in basement bolted to concrete floor. My thinking was if you have a house fire..if safe is on ground floor it may get covered if 1st floor collapses down on it...but you would know exact area of safe. If mounted on second floor...you may have to search for it. It gives you instructions on how to bolt to wood or concrete or you can look up instructions online. I am sure people bolt to wood/laminate flooring....people that live in apartments do not have a concrete floor.

Unfortunately, this one is a hard plastic material that doesn't grip the floor- it slips all over the place, so you'd have to tape it down or secure it somehow. You're better off getting a foam rubber type.

There is a hole with screw slot on back, so looks like that is an option.considering length, they may not get that far off floor depending on ceiling.

These pads would only work that way if you purchased them a bit bigger than the legs on what you intend to move. This would help if the furniture did try to slip off it would notdamage the floor. The other suggestion I would have would be to buy pads with rubber on one side that would keep your furniture in place while moving but could be removed.

Thanks for your suggestion. That is a good idea. Do you think staples, or tape would work to secure the sides?

You could install at the top of the door........but I don't think it would be secure because someone could still kick the door in. You need to get cement screws which would allow you to install in concrete. I believe it is out there ......There are masonary screws which install into cement or concrete.
