Would the mat allow water to pass through it? I'm trying to come up with a rubber like mat to set bikes on during the winter in our apartment.

I would check out the 'clean park garage mats' at allmats.com. Theyre specifically designed for what you are trying to do and come in various sizes. This anti fatigue mat is most likely waterproof, but water would run over the edges very easily. Good luck.

It's over an inch thick & cushiony. It holds water. Seems almost too fancy for your purpose. I use mine on my tile floor to stop dirty dog paw marks.

The mat does a great job at containing the water/sand/salt used in my area. Because my garage floor slightly slopes towards the door, I have a rolled up towel under the low end to ensure the water stays in. Rather than dragging it out, I use a shop vac to clean up as needed.

I installed a PVC system for my unit and built it in such a way the the air must travel uphill for a ways thus making it more difficult for the water to get to the unit. I have had no problems with water in the unit. Hope this helps.

The unit is plastic and unless you drag it with a bike engaged there should not be an issue. You could always put a small area carpet or even a bath towel under it.

You can use sand, if the sand is fine. It should flow through the water wheel part.

If they are used outside your shower, the only water that would get on your floor is that remaining on you, so yes, there would be some water on the floor under the mat.

While it does not use the hooks, there are indentations in the mat that fit over the hooks so they don't have to be removed. This way they don't have to put holes in the plastic to accommodate the hooks that would also let water through. The backs of the mats are held into place by plastic spikes that work like cleats on golf shoes, if that helps. They have not moved around on me at all.

no actually the mats go over the grommets they do not line up perfectly as described for reasons unknown and the mats catch all the residue and water very well in the summer i use regular rubber mats for dirt and residue and save the custom mats for the winter

Hey Laurie, depending on the thickness of your mat, you may have some problems. I have a thicker mat and I have to REALLY squeeze it in. I can't imagine anything else going in, much less a block.

They ARE porous. If you have a dainty drinker I think you'll be OK but if you have a dog who slobbers water there will eventually be dampness underneath as the water is wicked away from the top. In that case I think a rubber mat would be best for you.

I use a rubber sink mat in the bottom of my sinks so there is no issue with this.

I would use a thin mat under the equipment. The exercise mat is nice but thick and would likely distort.

There is a lip that will contain most liquids. Melted snow stays on the mats and off the carpet. Unless you drink huge cups of coffee I think the mats will keeps spills off the carpet. Removing the mat filled with liquid without spilling any could be difficult though.

Yes it is porous material so the water will seep through if you water slowly. It also blocks the sun from drying out the ground so you will have to water less.

I'm sorry if I am misleading you. The mat I had did not allow water to be added.

It's a possibility, it's not an air tight seal around the top parts, water could seep in pretty easily if it's enough water, I think.

It will trap water dripping off your vehicle if it is rain. There are lines built into the mat that run in a north-south diretion that will conduct it to run that way. Now if you have big chunks of ice and snow falling off, then probably not. There is no higher edge or rim around the perimeter of the mat. I live in Wisconsin and so far this year, the melt water has not run over the edge. Ask me again in April.
