Can these tiles be used on a flat surface for running on them and doing exercise. I will be setting up around 720 square feet of them.

I would say no - they have little 'points' on them for traction when wet. If you were to slip and land on a knee or something, you'd tear it up pretty good.

I have a similar amount installed for the same purpose and they work just fine.

Perfect for your use other then bare feet. Kind of rough surface to use bare foot. Panels all interlock together. Recommend using a rubber mallet to assemble. I have them on my patio for outdoor use. Once assembled will not move. Hope this answers your question.Larry Saint-Germain"Cajun Country of Louisiana"

I don't know. I would think as long as there is a flat surface to attach them to.

Padding would not allow the tiles to lay on the floor correctly. I put them on my basement floor and they work great! They have a thick rubber back and stay in place.

I don't think it would work out. these tiles are not heavy enough to stay together on top of any sort of pile carpet.

I don't know. I used them on a smooth surface. my guess would be that you could but it might not look good.

My husband uses them on the carpet, but I bet they would be fine on the bare floor. There aren't any holes to hook them on to the hook mounted in the floor. These mats are so thick snd sturdy the don't move at all, hubby just loves them.

The tiles are beautiful but thin...I personally don't think that they would be durable enough for a floor application. hope this is helpful.

Absolutely. Will work great for that. Just be sure to support the weight if you put them in a drop tile ceiling.

I use them on top of my breadboard; however you could use them on tile if you are careful. They are quite "thick" and sturdy.

Yes, I think they would work on top of carpet. If you were to jump on them or exercise, they may shift a bit because they won't be able to grip the floor, but if that's not an issue for you, then it should work. Our issue was just that they didn't stay locked together when used for exercising.

Yes, you can use them. However, You will need to have about 6 inches of room below the surface of the floor.

Ernie, If you are concerned with whatever you are going to move will scratch the tiles, I see no reason why you cannot use them. However, they may not make moving any easier.

I have an entire home gym (treadmill, leg press, squat rack, etc) on these tiles. It's been 2 years now and I haven't had any problems.

I would not. These are hard plastic and are mainly for carpets. You could attach some felt pads to make them work on hard surfaces like wood or tile.

I don't think so, they have a curve on the back right? These only work on flat surfaces I believe but I'm not sure, you could try!

We used big 4x8 sheets of foam insulation from a local building supply store. Gym squares would probably be even better!

In my experience, these need to be used on a flat, even surface - otherwise they will not stay together.
