Could these mats be used in a woodworking basement workshop? They may be covered in sawdust sometimes and I am wondering if they will be slippery.

You shouldn't have a problem with the mats being slick. For a workshop they should be fine.

I don't think any sort of particulate you would find in a woodshop would be of concern. Sawdust might make them slide on the floor (if it is concrete) a bit easier, but if you got one of those anti-slip mats (http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00hMUQviAGHHoV/Anti-Slip-Mat-LY-ASM31-.jpg) that often get put under rugs and such, that would probably fix it. Wood shavings shouldn't be an issue either. I've found that they are generally not slippery, even if they get wet.

I use these very mats around my basement workshop including my chop saw and they work just fine. Only thing is use a wide nozzle on the shop vacuum for easy clean up. Not slippery at all!

I use it on the workbench... It's not very thick at all and about about as thick as the standard blue ones I see everywhere. I wouldn't use it as a floor mat, but that's just me...

I have not had any issues with using my mat. I do not have the data on what they are made of, but I imagine this might be listed in the product details.

I guess that depends if you're covering the whole room where you're putting it against the walls or to the baseboards of the walls. Are you covering the whole floor wall to wall? I do not know from experience so I can't guess that they might slip a little bit or not. It also depends on how much square footage you're putting down and how aggressive your aerobic workout is going to be. They are great pads they work really well for my basement where I do have them wall to wall for lifting weights and do some lunges. but again I cannot give you a definitive answer to your question . I wish you good luck with whatever choice you make. John G./USMC I guess that depends if you're covering the whole room where you're putting it against the walls or to the baseboards of the walls.

Yes, I have wooden floors also. It will stay in place while you exercise. I have an area where I exercise and the mat stays down until I pick it up, no slipping.

My husband uses these in his basement workshop, they are very nice. They are used right over a concrete floor.they are not spongy but I dont know how a shelf would do, you could cut out a spot for the shelves legs to sit right on the floor.

The mat has velcro around perimeter that could be used for some traction if the floor was carpeted enough to adhere. Mat would slip across wood floor without something holding it in place. Hope this helps.

We have this net in backyard and use it only for lacrosse work. It is not staked down right now so I had my son use his lacrosse ball against it and it did not move at all on the grass. In a basement, if it is a bare floor surface I think you would definitely have to place it on a non-skid mat of some sort and weight down the support sides with something. On carpet, it might stay in position better without weighting it.

I would say this is not the right solution for you. These work good on wood floors but might get quickly worn out on concrete or brick. I would look for something else.

I have laminated wood floors in my kitchen. I have had these for some time, and they have become slippery, and the corners have turned up and separated. I am constantly moving them back in place.

They probably could be, but I wouldn't. The dirt would have to be perfectly flat or the tiles won't connect to each other. I don't know your climate, but what would happen if it rained a lot and the dirt underneath got soft? Or what about snow? The tiles may no longer be even. I used these tiles for an indoor application on a concrete floor. They are fantastic. I've seen them installed around a pool area on one of the home improvement shows, but I can't remember what surface they were using underneath. It may have been dirt but maybe you could research them online at HGTV or one of those kinds of sites and get better information.

They are rounded plastic, as long as they don't get to full of dirt and grit they should be ok. it would roll very well on hard wood, but if you are worried a rug or mat underneath also works well.

Yes, I believe they would and you could totally clean them off for storage afterwards. I would recommend on rock though otherwise the water that falls out of hot tub would go right through it and create a mud hole which would eventually lead to unlevel surface for hot tub and also the tiles would break from being unlevel I believe. I use mine in my basement on top of concrete. I have a treadmill on mine, a bowflex, a rolling desk chair (though I still use a mat)and a drumset on mine as well. I'd be more concerned about the surface you are putting them on actually.

Yes they are great mats, if they get really wet they may become slippery, but not just from sweat.

I got this for my Mom. She uses on top of her dryer and the magnets hold it in place. My Mom is very pleased with this mat. I don't see why it couldn't be used on a wood table. The top of the mat should protect the wood from the heat and steam but I would check it out while using the mat to make sure the heat is not too much for the table top. You could also use it on the floor but once again I would suggest checking the surface under the mat to make sure the heat from the iron is not too much for the surface under the mat. You could also try several layers of towels under the mat to protect any surface you place the mat on. I got this for my Mom. She uses on top of her dryer and the magnets hold it in place.

probably. thats what im getting them for. i got some very inexpensive ones at big lots about 2 years ago. they are still in fine condition though very dirty.i would imagine these would be at least as good. (this has been 2 years year round, all weather of snow, sun, rain in portland, oregon.) my play area is one of those plastic fisherprice deals for younger kids. i wouldnt consider these mats as a fall-safety item from anything higher than a couple of feet, if that.)

I use mine in our basement which is a concrete floor. I do, however, have throw rugs in front of the washer and dryer and have never had a problem pushing it on them.
