Would it be OK to place on hardwood floor? Would the material interact with or damage the wood floor?

I have my mat in my kitchen over hardwood floor and have had no issues with any damage to the flooring. It is a high quality mat.

It doesn't affect wood floors at all. It's kinds hard to use on wood floors if they are slippery but it won't damage them.

It may depend upon the floor, but I doubt it would scratch. Purchased for my granddaughter and they have hardwood throughout their house.

I would think so, though admittedly mine is on a wood floor. Don't think it would be harmful however.

I've got it setting on hardwood, myself, and haven't had a single problem. The base is wide enough that it shouldn't be a problem!

I have not used on hardwood floor. I would try in a corner that does not show...to test.

No. I tested it on carpeted floor out of curiosity, and it was off by about 30 pounds. It's best to use it on hardwood floor. Place it in your bathroom or kitchen if most of your home is carpeted.

This would be fine on the floor. in our camper it is just on a wood platform works great!

You could but the floor should be buffed or something so that it was not slippery. It would improve the look of the wood, absolutelybut I think there are better products for the floor.

On tile, ok. I found it to scratch my laminate [?wheels]so I'm would not use it on wood floors.

No, I have hardwood floors and I put a thick blanket between it and the floor. I would lay it directly on carpet though.

No, it is not recommended to be placed directly on carpet or wood floors. What we have done (we have wood floors) is just bought two 12 x 12 porcelain/ceramic tiles to put underneath it. This product works very well - always use shoes, slippers or socks or your feet will be too hot!

Sure should.....ours are on prefinished (high gloss) hardwood floors- no problem with movement.

You might want to consider getting at least a throw rug to put directly on your hardwood floor and then put the mat on the rug. That way no moisture would get under the mat to damage your floor. The mat also help to lessen the sound of my treadmill, and I'm really glad I have it. If you had to move your treadmill, having the rug under the mat would make it very easy to slide it on your floor. Hope this helps.

I personally haven't had it used on hardwood, but the wheels are exactly like roller skate wheels and I don't think that it will affect the wood.

I have mine on a laminate wood floor and it's fine. The center stabilizer was broken when I received it, so I just unscrewed it and replaced it with a block of wood the same size and it's fine. Great looking product!

I agree with Scott - it would not be a good idea to use this mat on a hardwood floor.
