Questions and Answers for Norsk Multicolor 24 in. x 24 in. EVA Foam Solid Color Multi-Purpose Interlocking Tile (20-Tile)

A:  Nothing. They clean up nicely. I take care of mine .they have lasted me .. I work out on them st lest 2 times s week.

A:  They get wet and slippery. They also are not rated for outdoor use. You must get get a summer out of them before the sun destroys them, but I wouldn’t. If your just looking to protect your feet against a hot/splitting wood deck, get a section of indoor outdoor carpet

A:  Perhaps you meant _trim_ pieces - yes; the 4 piece pack has 8 edge pieces that can be used for smooth sides, but only as far as 8 pieces will cover sides. See pic from the 4 pack

A:  No, this foam tile doesn't come in trim pieces.

A:  No, the item is not fire rated.

A:  I haven’t notice them off gassing at all

A:  Surprisingly little. They certainly have a “new smell” but nothing noxious or lingering.

A:  I have not noticed any odor that they offgas. We mostly use them in our warm room of our barn, so the alpaca manure may overwhelm any offgas odor.

A:  Had them in both a gym inside the house and in the garage. After the first couple days, no noticeable oder.

A:  I don't remember any significant off-gassing. But I have used my yoga mat on top from the start, so I'm not right against the foam square. One section of 2x 3 squares I store under the couch and pull it out inside the house to do yoga. Certainly never noticed anything sitting on the couch, with the foam squares stored underneath me. The other set is a 3x4 set of squares that are outside on a covered patio. Definitely no noticeable off-gassing out in the fresh air.

A:  I would say no. The foam is a little too thick. Plus the foam would quickly get indentations and probably break apart over time. You'd probably want something thinner to put a rolling chair on. Or just take out squares in the part of the room where you want the chair.

A:  Not really. The chair wheels will dig in (the heavier the chair plus your body weight, the more it digs in). What I have found interesting is that if you use a vinyl chair mat, try placing it on top of the interlocking tiles ... by doing so, you have the ability for the chair with wheels to still roll around, but with some cushion underneath it.

A:  No really sure what you mean by leak proof. If you spill something on it you can wipe it up it will not soak through. It my leak through where they interlock together, but is it tight when you put them together. Its a good product I used it on my sheds floor.

A:  my guess is no if the Bunnie would eat it. probably urine proof except at joints. try it and observe. commonsense is your guide

A:  I’ve used them for this exact purpose. Protects the pool from the ground and makes standing in the pool much more comfortable. I suggest making the pad larger than the pool (pad should extend beyond outside edges).

A:  I don't see why not. I can't give a technical answer why. I just know that I've had them under an outdoor carpet for over a year. They've gotten wet and not been able to dry right away because of the carpet. They seem none the worse for it. The foam is dense enough that it should protect the pool from uneven surfaces, like small rocks under the pool liner. There is a textured side that you should be able to walk on with wet feet without slipping. But I haven't tried this, so no guarantees there. Good luck.

A:  I am not sure how they would hold up to that amount of weight. We used some under our kids 6ft wide by 1ft deep pool and it added a nice layer of padding and was still in perfect shape to then install in our basement for our kids play area and my workout room. Now that we have had it in our basement for a while I have noticed it dents under weight. For example, a dent will be left under my kettle bells, or under the legs of the mini trampoline. Over a weeks time the dent will work its way out, but while the mats are durable to foot traffic, they are not heavy impact/weight bearing like the heavy duty mats you can buy for a garage.

A:  My main, unprofessional, concern would be the potential for moisture being caught in the foam and breeding mildew, mold or some unknown potential toxin. if you want to try it put a layer of sheet plastic, drop cloth type, under the foam flooring to prevent moisture from below. I would think keeping flooring away from the edges of pool would help prevent moisture coming in from the edges. Your local climate could also effect moisture intrusion and other miscellaneous factors. If cost is major concern try some and see what is going on over time. Your own common sense is a good guide. what is your gut feeling? I have used it in my outdoor tented shop on top of a slightly elevated deck for several years in south Florida. No visible sun damage thru tent nor moisture damage yet

A:  I don't have a swimming pool, so this is my best guess. I am assuming you are trying to minimize the chance of stone cutting your pool liner when you ask this question. If you have a smooth area with minimal rocks I think this would work as a buffer if you are careful when laying out the liner to not disrupt the flooring. It will crush down once water is added to the pool, so if there are rocks you are probably better served by digging out the area and putting down some sand before you put down the flooring and set up the pool.

A:  Yes! We are using it in our playroom and it works great! It’s pretty soft and durable. The color is much darker in person though.

A:  Yes, this product is safe for children.

A:  It could work but it is susceptible to scratches if you're rough on it.

A:  Howdy Melissa, Yes, you can use this product because it is child safe and flame retardant. happy flooring, Coach Dave

A:  If used to protect the child then I would cover the mats with a clean rug - I don't know if these mats are factory clean enough for the child. If you are using the mats to protect the floor you should do the same thing. I use the mats to protect my epoxy and chips garage floor surface from any possible affects from the chains on my tractor snow thrower tires.

A:  It’s shouldnt absorb much water, it’s kind of dense. I would be more concerned about water getting between the tile & mat. That would become really slippery & possibly moldly if not cleaned daily.

A:  I have completely hosed these off and let them air dry with no issues. I would imagine that they will work just fine at maintaining their shape

A:  We use it in a toddler playroom over the hardwood floors. It doesn't really absorb liquids-they just sit on top. We have had our fair share of spills. However it is washed/mopped weekly and haven't had any issues with it losing its shape.

A:  These are very squishy and mark up easily. maybe something harder would be more sturdy. i use them in my kids playroom and even their small chairs (without any weight) make dents in the mats.

A:  If you’re not worried about water getting between the seams of the tiles, it would probably work. Also not sure about if they would absorb water from the edges/sides or not. They are not solid rubber.

A:  These could be ok but they are not all that sturdy for outside use.
