I want to put these mats on my garage floor but I am worried they will shift around, should I have something underneath them to keep them in place?

These tiles are light and pretty easy to place or pull apart. You can try without putting anything underneath. If they slide, you can always pick them up and put underlayment down to keep them from sliding. Best thing to do is to border against wall/heavy furniture as suggested by Angie. Another thing is, don't drive your car on it. It's not meant for that kind of pressure/weight.

Yes I actually have a room built in my garage that we put these down on we did put concrete sealer on the area first... They never move or shift I love this flooring works great in my garage!

Amy- I felt these floor mats are very flexible and are easily lifted to access the storage under the seats or in the back of the van. The small part of the back mat that goes behind the back seats is not affected when you put the third row of seats up or down. While these are expensive, it is the best thing I have purchased to protect the floors of my van. Hope this helps. Jim

I placed the matts under my living room rug as a crash pad for the kids and a fun and comfortable living space. They are on top of hardwood floor and don't move around at all. They seem pretty firm and havnt lost much of the firmness but I expect they will soften up with time. I've had them for about 12 months now. I'm sure with time it will loose thickness in high traffic areas. They are probably not as good as what you would find in a karate or jiu jitsu studio but so far just as good. Hope this helps. Also, find the cheapest one even if it's not a prime item sometimes it's cheaper to pay the shipping.

They are so wonderful. The garage floor is totally protected by these mats. We used them to cover the whole shop area for my husband's woodworking and home repairs. We think they were definitely worth the price. And, yes we are parking on them, too.

Yes. The mats do shift around if you are working something aggressively. For instance pasta dough. I purchased this to use the mats independently from the bamboo board, which I love. I needed new seperate mats for cutting up meats and I love that they hide away behind the board. For the price it was worth having more mats than you would normally get in a set. I am happy with the purchase.

any weight will leave an indentation on this material, however as the weight in removed it will spring back, this may take sometime. It is important to have a solid sub floor under the mats. If you drop the weights to the floor it may still damage the sub flooring, they can withstand a limited amount. They should work well for your purposes.

The pads are a half inch+ thick. They wouldn't work to hold a rug in place. In order to keep the rug from lying unevenly, you would need to use something much thinner to hold it in place.

Hi Cynthia, the answer to your question is "No". I have the mats that came with the car still underneath, but there is minimal sliding. So from time to time, I readjust all 4 mats.

Simply because I'm a "heavy-duty" kind of guy, I would not recommend this matting for your garage. It's more of a soft foam pad. A more rubberized material would seem to be the best choice. Hope this helps!

The mats are usually fine. They do slip a little when I am working faster than I should be working, but most of the time, they are fine and they don't slip. I really like this board option with the mats.

Yes, it helps to keep the mat in place, I've had mine for awhile now and am very happy and satisfied with it.

I placed a rubber mat under mine. This keeps it from sliding around. My issue was it developed cracks overnight on one side after treating it with cutting board oil before my first use.

If it was my hardwood floor I would get a chair mat to protect it. I don't trust any type wheels on my floor. And the wheels are hard plastic.

I am sure hosing them off would suffice for your intended use. We have 3 mats and use them inside at door areas. We are very satisfied with their performance .

Hey Darlene! I'll be glad to answer. The strips are slightly rough which in itself discourages movement. I use them on a silicon mat which helps keep them in place as well. I would also recommend a long rolling pin, it really helps when working with these. Also, consider getting 2 sets as that way you can make a box shape that allows you to roll in both directions rather than just one. Hope this helps

I put those foam pads under mine, not right on the floor. The suction cups don't work on it but you don't need them!

I use my mat outside but bring it back into my garage after each use. If you live in a mild climate, it should be fine to leave outside.
