Questions & Answers

Is it a smooth surface and how is it cleaned
ByMay 31, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Hi Kathy, Thank you for your question! This material is not completely smooth. Because it is made from recycled crumb rubber, the surface has a slight textured finish rather than a perfectly flat or polished surface. This texture is normal for this type of rubber flooring and helps provide durability and traction. For cleaning, it is very low maintenance and can be kept clean with simple methods such as sweeping, vacuuming, or using a damp mop indoors, and a hose for outdoor use. If needed, a mild household detergent can also be used for a deeper clean without damaging the material. Please let us know if you have any other questions! Best, Robert Morris, Rubber-Cal Inc.

    Will water seep through it?
    ByMar 10, 2026
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    Hello Stan, Thank you for your question! Water will generally not seep through the Elephant Bark rubber flooring under normal conditions. The recycled rubber material is dense and designed to provide a durable, protective surface that resists everyday moisture. However, if water is allowed to sit on the flooring for an extended period of time, small amounts may eventually pass through the tiny spaces between the compressed rubber granules. The material itself will not absorb water or be damaged by moisture. For typical indoor or outdoor use, occasional moisture or spills should not be an issue. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out! Best, Robert Morris, Rubber-Cal Inc.

        Will this stain lvp if I put it ontop of it?
        ByDec 8, 2025
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Hello, Thank you for your question! Unfortunately, there is a risk that the Elephant Bark 3/8-inch rubber roll may stain LVP flooring if placed directly on top of it, as recycled rubber can transfer pigments over time, especially with the all-black version. To prevent any discoloration, we recommend using a protective barrier such as a thin underlayment between the LVP and the rubber. Elephant Bark itself is a durable, 100% recycled rubber flooring designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Its resilience and shock-absorbing qualities make it ideal for gyms, garages, pet areas, and other high-traffic spaces, and using a barrier ensures your LVP stays safe while still benefiting from the mat’s durability. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out! Best, Robert Morris, Rubber-Cal Inc.

          Can I roll wheeled items--such as a tool chest or loaded weight rack--over this flooring if it is installed over concrete? Will it bunch up underneath when I try to move these items?
          ByNov 18, 2025
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Hello, Thank you for your question! Yes, you can roll wheeled items like a tool chest or a loaded weight rack over the Elephant Bark 3/8 inch flooring on concrete. This material is dense, heavy, and firm enough to stay flat, so it will not bunch up when equipment is moved. The 3/8 inch thickness is designed for heavy-duty use and is commonly used in gyms and garages where equipment is rolled or repositioned. It provides strong durability, good impact resistance, and easy cleaning, which makes it a reliable option for high-traffic or high-weight areas. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out! Best, Robert Morris, Rubber-Cal Inc.

            Would this rubber flooring work for a restaurant kitchen? Is it easily scrubable?
            BySep 9, 2025
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hello, Thank you for your question! While Elephant Bark Blue Steel 3/8-inch is a highly durable flooring option made from recycled rubber, we would recommend against using it in a restaurant kitchen environment. This is because Elephant Bark is not grease-resistant, and prolonged exposure to oils and fats commonly found in commercial kitchens could degrade the material over time. For specific recommendations on flooring suited for kitchen use and grease resistance, please feel free to reach out to us at customercare@rubbercal.com. We’d be happy to help you find the best option for your needs. Best, Robert Morris, Rubber-Cal Inc.

              Is this vulcanized?
              BySep 4, 2025
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Hello Vjram, Thank you for your question! No, the Elephant Bark Blue Steel Rubber Flooring is not vulcanized. It is made from 100% recycled rubber, specifically post-consumer recycled tire rubber, and bound together with a high-strength polymer binder. This flooring is commonly used in settings like home gyms, weight rooms, garages, fitness centers, and other areas that require durable, slip-resistant, and impact-absorbing surfaces. If you have any other questions, or need help finding a suitable material for your project, please feel free to reach out! Best, Robert Morris, Rubber-Cal Inc.

                Would this work well as an anti fatigue flooring behind a bar, instead of those mats that move and you trip over..?
                ByJul 15, 2025
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                Hello Stef, Thank you for your question! Yes, the Elephant Bark Black 3/8 in. T x 48 in. W x 120 in. L Rubber Flooring (40 sq. ft.) would be a great option for anti-fatigue flooring behind a bar. Unlike lighter mats that shift and become trip hazards, this flooring is heavy, about 80 lbs, and stays securely in place. You can also use double-sided carpet tape at the edges for extra stability. It's cushioned for comfort during long hours of standing, slip-resistant even when wet, and easy to clean. Made from recycled rubber, it’s durable, eco-friendly, and well-suited for commercial environments like bar areas. Please let us know if you have any further questions! Best, Robert Morris, Rubber-Cal Inc.

                  Nice looking product but has dimensional issues
                  Purchased for my game/gym room. Product is tough and looks good. Problem is that dimensions make it difficult to install. Specifically the width can very. It’s important to use lengths ordered meet the dimensions of the room. You don’t want to have butt joints. In my case the longest length I could order through Home Depot was 12 feet. My room length is 18 ft. This made it necessary to have butt joints. This creates issues when the widths varied by up to 3/16ths of an inch.

                    uneven width
                    this product is strudy and doesn't smell like other rubber Matt's. however the width of this product is extremely uneven. for the money I paid I was expecting much straighter cuts. I under stand the ends from the roll would be cur unevenly but I wasn't expecting the side to be this bad.

                        This rubber flooring is okay. I used this to exercise on in my garage. The flooring did an adequate job protecting the floor but it did not provide much padding for the impact on my body. If you are going to be doing plyometric training on this I would get something a little thicker that can offer a little more protection from ground reaction force.

                        I am sorry that the Elephant Bark mat did not meet your expectations! We also offer our Shark Tooth mat, which is highly rated for its durability and cushioning abilities. They also come in thicker sizes. You are free to initiate a return for the mat if you are not completely satisfied.

                        This mat is very heavy for its size, which is a good thing. It does not slide, or move at all. Very good to cover a slippery surface. Size is exactly as stated. Made of pressed rubber, I assume, which is hopefully recycled, it has a slight texture which I tried to capture in a close up. Other than the packing list, I could not find any paper work with info on the product. Easy to keep clean by hosing off or sweeping. Some minute particles of sand and dust may stick in the tiny pitted surface, but not enough to make a difference in use. Good size to be used outside a doorway, inside a laundry room, or anywhere else you can use a good skid proof floor mat. LOVE this.

                        I think this black rubber mat is called elephant bark because it is so heavy duty. It is one one piece, 20 square feet of flexible, solid flooring rubber. It can be used many places around the house - under exercise equipment, in the laundry room, garage or basement. This mat is much heavier than the fit together style mats that are available. I just have to decide where to use it. It is a heavy, solid but flexible mat.

                        Don’t use a razor or box cutter if you received the matt via mail. You will cut the matt! I am impressed in the thickness of this foam matt. I was expecting the matt to be a bit thin and not much “springiness” to it however this matt is perfect for a gym or under another matt to give a top matt some more comfort. This is definitely a heavy duty industrial style matt. It will hold up to long use. The matt can be trimmed/cut for a custom fit to meet you exact size/need. I am going to use this foam matt to place under a thinner matt in my kitchen to give me more comfort when cooking and standing on my feet.

                        I’ve had this rubber mat for around a week now and it has worked out great for my workout room. It’s nice and high quality material has held up to foot traffic and has saved my floors from weights being dropped.It’s thick enough for me to do floor exercise on it and not feel like I’m killing my back on the hard floor. I’m really happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone looking for something to protect their floor or their back from the floor.

                        This rubber mat is heavy and flexible. It was easy to install and layout. It was packaged very well. It does flex or gives when weight is applied. It can be used indoors or outdoors too. It also has many other applications. I’m using it for a future weight room I'm creating in my basement for my bench press. Still working the details. Laying down barbells without a thud on the concrete flooring is nice and keeps my weights looking new. It is a quality piece and am very satisfied with it.

                        I picked up this Rubber-Cal Elephant Bark Black 3/8 in. T x 48 in. W x 60 in. L Rubber Flooring (20 sq. ft.) to put underneath my Polaris RZR. It is thick and heavy, quality material for sure. I wanted a mat or pad under the RZR for when I do maintenance so I don’t dirty the garage floor with oil or other stuff. I think this rubber sheet is going to do the trick. I wish I bought a larger one, so I might pick up another one or a larger one to park the entire RZR on. So far as far as driving over it it seems durable and no signs of wear or damage.
