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

Place the mat under the legs. My problem was that this mat won't stay in-place on carpet anyway.

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.

Hi. These mats are very thin for heavy equipment. They should work as far as preventing the floor from scratching, but in my opinion, you would need a thicker mat for exercise equipment.

Probably, mine moves on my concrete garage floor. There are holes in the feet to "tack" it down with nails or spikes if you want to keep it from sliding.

Well when I placed them on the bare floor you had to play with them a bit so they would stay, they would wobble but when I had them on carpet, they were a bit more sturdy. I am not sure if it is just the 2 I bought that are a bit uneven but I do like them just wish they would stay on the bare floor better and the gaps in between each panel were a bit closer. Hope this helps.

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!

I keep a desk leg (or two) on top of the mat to keep it in place. I don't have any problem. The mat is great.

I used a rubber mesh, also used under rugs to keep them from slipping. I find this at Walmart in the kitchen section near the contact paper, or in the fabric department (in a large bolt). It makes a huge difference under the dividers, in my opinion.

I use the mats because I have a 3 x 6' run at the bottom of the cage (and a two story 'condo' at one end with ramps up and down). I have the whole set up on a scrap of linoleum, to protect the floor beneath from any spills and from smell. I use the mats to give my bunny traction to get around. They are also cooler in the summer. I used to use towels, but found he shredded them and I was afraid he might ingest them too. I hope this answers your question :-)

I have never rolled my mat. But, I would think putting it out on a hot concrete surface in the sun for a while would flatten it and you wouldn't have to attach it. (We live in Texas and it gets hot.) If that doesn't work, try small c-clamps. I store my mat behind a bookcase. Linda

They will probably slide a bit depending on the dirtiness of the floor. The dots are slick on both sides. They do have a little bit of weight to them so they stay in place for the most part.

My brother owns these mats and in my opinion the are sturdy and hard. Good to protect you floor and equipment, but jumping around on them does not give much comfort, because they are hard, firm and don't give.

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!

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.

I own two of these mats. I move them every week to vacuum and then replace them. They are easy to move and the best mats I have found. I hope this helps you.
