You should definitely roll out your rubber and let it sit for at least 24 hours before installing, gluing only the seams will allow bubbles to form in the center of the rolls and you should NEVER USE THE WRONG GLUE the glue I would recommend is E-Grip iii or Colossal HMA117 epoxy the E-Grip iii is the best glue for the flooring I would recommend putting a space heater on the glue several days before installing to allow the spreading of the glue to be easier to work with and you should also roll your floor with a 100Lb roller after installing and you should never use duck tape use green frog tape or yellow scotch tape blue paint tape won’t work and only use rubbing alcohol to clean the glue other cleaners like goof off or mineral spirits will fade the area that is clean
I am a quality control manager at a rubber flooring manufacturing facility. I'm curious, if any, what would be your biggest gripe when it comes to quality issues with the rubber flooring?
Hi there! Thank you for making this video. Im about to do a DIY. 2 questions. 1. What was the glue used in the video? 2. Have you ever had problems with floor scrubber machines pulling the mat off?
Thanks for the information! I am going to help a friend install a portable sauna and she wants to put this on the cement floor which makes sense to me. Thanks again. I'm looking forward to seeing how this project turns out. 👍🏽👌🏽💪🏽
Can I put this in my basement without glueing it down? I have vinyl on the floor right now.. My basement is a space for the kids to play. But I have a treadmill bicycle and a few other light workout stuff. Will it work without glue?
I just did a job and had to run the rubber floor along a metal schluter . There are small gaps after cutting the rubber. What do you suggest to cover up those small gaps?
If the customer wants to remove the rubber flooring product how difficult is it to scrape off the glue from the cement subfloor? Do you ever use double sided tape the hold the rubber floor in place?
question i have rubber speck gym tiles as well as rolled rubber gym flooring- id like to install it (myself) for my 'dog room', laundry room, the hall & bathroom - my question(s) is this a good idea?! is there a way to 'water proof' it ? of course because i dont want moister to build up in between the edges & which would be easier to accomplish this? (tiles or rolls) thank you
I did a 600ft job in a hospital weight room. Glue squirts out a bunch of the seams, I wipe the glue with the recommended cleaner and a rag. It smears into the pores of the rubber and it’s impossible to get out now. So there’s streaks near the seams of glue embedded in the rubber and the customer is complaining, might have to eat the job but how do I prevent this from happening again? It seems inevitable that some glue will get onto the surface, and if it gets into the pores then the floor is ruined
Great video. What is the best glue for that? And how do you deal with all the curls when you lay it down? In the seams I have alot of curls. The flooring also got wet, I wonder if that's the reason why mines is curled. Any suggestions on how to remedy that?
Egrip 3. And ur supposed to let ur rubber lay flat for 24 hours so it can accumulate and relax, stack multiple rolls of rubber on each other but make sure the edges are lined up with eachother.
Not sure where you’re based but I have a local distributor in Cleveland that I get it from. Aside from that amazon has several listings to scout deals on this product
Thanks for this video. Can you recommend the appropriate paper or plastic barrier to place underneath my stall mats? I have new porcelain floor tiles on the floor and want to lay rubber stall mats on top. I want to avoid the tiles discoloring and protect along the seams where dirt and sand will fall between that could permanently mar or stain the tiles.
Well. Ima tell you from a installers point of view (me) that glue will not stick to tile. U will have to demo the tile, scrape the floor smooth and install the rubber
How do you know how many rolls you need that's my issue? Not sure how to measure the floor looks like from watching the video for my small space one roll

I’m thinking about putting this in my basement, I’m a clean freak, so my question, is how easy is it to, clean? Mopping, wiping? Do it scuff easily? Hep please!!! Lol thank you!! 😊☺️🥰
@@CarpetExpertBlueprint You are going to have a hard time keeping the money growing, cutting throats at $1.00 ft. Are you a professional flooring installer? If so, have some self respect and charge accordingly. Twenty years from now when you can barely get out of bed because you have physically beaten yourself installing floors, you'll thank me. No 401k or any retirement funds going around doing jobs on the cheap.
No acclimation, no allowing the floor to relax, you are fighting it the entire way. Not to mention way too much glue in the seams ( you shouldn't have squeeze out ) Chalk lines are you friend as well as laying it out before you glue. You can literally lay the entire floor and then glue it down after you do a soft install. I'd be curious how many times you've had to return to jobs for quality control issues. Looks like you are fighting it the whole time.
the walmart here just did a remodel and installed what I think appears to be this type of flooring in the entrance vestibules, and this looks like something that you could use to do disc golf tee-pads with???
That's why he is only charging $1.00 ft. Your typical butcher. Half assing, cutting whatever corners he can. Making sure to keep the prices beat down for the rest of us.
Yeah this instal was garbage. Only glued the seems, so first time it gets hot the middle of the rolls expands and bubble up. Just scraping the glue coming up in the seems so that will probably be noticeable when it dries. Not rollered flat so the joins look uneven. And had the balls to say he should charge more. Sounds like the guy who charged my parents £10 per bag of sand, that he didn't even level when laying their astro turf. A bad job ends up costing you more when you have to tear it up and do it properly.

they didn't even use the roller lol
I would love to see how you would set up a floor transition from the rubber flooring to carpet. I plant to put the rubber flooring in my basement DIY.

Hey, thanks for the video, what kind of glue do you use?
Hi there! Thank you for making this video. Im about to do a DIY. 2 questions.
1. What was the glue used in the video?
2. Have you ever had problems with floor scrubber machines pulling the mat off?
This question is all over the comments. No answer though
Roberts adhesive 3000, I took a screenshot and then research with Google lens 😂, I don't know why they don't show it clearly 😅
Is there any special procedure that needs to be done if it is laid on a cement basement floor
😂😂😂
Good info! What if you're installing it over a carpet how can you keep them together without adhesive?
🤣🤣🤣 Don't be lazy, rip out the carpet
Ya can’t
Use carpet tape
Thanks for the information! I am going to help a friend install a portable sauna and she wants to put this on the cement floor which makes sense to me. Thanks again. I'm looking forward to seeing how this project turns out. 👍🏽👌🏽💪🏽

So for a one man working on it, you recommend rubber tiles over the roll?

I want to install on concrete surface. What do I do or use? Rubber tile mats? Gym/ horse mats? What kind of adhesive glued down would I use?
I did a 600ft job in a hospital weight room. Glue squirts out a bunch of the seams, I wipe the glue with the recommended cleaner and a rag. It smears into the pores of the rubber and it’s impossible to get out now.

It seems inevitable that some glue will get onto the surface, and if it gets into the pores then the floor is ruined
So the product we use in commercial gyms must be in rolled out and let rest 48 hours a 50 ft roll often loses or gains several inches
Do you ever caulk the joints with calk that would match?
I have glue over my rubber mat, what kind of glue remover need to use?
