Packaging: It came in a sturdy rectangular cardboard box that said Yoga on it. ru-vid.comUgkxZkaD2JsPC-fUMkF3vxJ2echoiXZ3T9aM I didn't like how it let possible package thieves know what might be contained inside but great packaging otherwise. The yoga mat came rolled up in a plastic wrap, which was fairly easy to remove.Contents: I got the green yoga mat and it came with an adjustable velcro carrying strap already secured to the mat. There was also a warranty card. There was a bit of a plastic smell coming form the yoga mat but it quickly dissipated after using it once.I've only used the yoga mat twice so far but I am loving it. It's such a game changer to my work outs, especially compared to my bed and floor, haha! I can confirm that it very thick, slip resistant, and comfortable. i didn't look at the dimensions prior to buying the mat, but it is so much longer than I expected! Width is normal size in my opinion. I don't know if it really is tear resistant yet... only time will tell!

@@ChuckTheCzech Actually no, the floors have held up really well, there is minimal if any expansion being experienced.

Great Video..Do you think that this 1/2 inch flooring would be enough to withstand an elliptical and a 550lbs dumbbell rack and weights? I will be installing it in an upstairs bedroom. Just wondering if I should get something slightly thicker. TIA
@PlatoonGarage
@PlatoonGarage 3 года назад
I think it probably depends on how many feet all of that weight gets spread out on. I would guess that this flooring would hold up, but would have deep indentations from the dumbbell rack, that much weight is probably better supported by solid rubber, but you could always give it a shot

Hey man, awesome video! I’m looking at doing something similar in my garage with the Rogue Regupol tiles (look very sinilar to yours). Do you know if you need to put something underneath to avoid moisture issues? It’s only gonna cover 1/3 of the whole garage surface, so its not the whole thing. Let me know what you think :)
@PlatoonGarage
@PlatoonGarage 6 месяцев назад
If it's only going to be 1/3 of your garage floor, you're probably okay. You could always just start with the floor covering and then pull it up after a month and see if there's any moisture trapped underneath and if there is then you can put a moisture barrier down

Basement Finishing University is a great resource for sure! I live in Virginia. I'll do a total up of the expenses that I have in the basement at the end. It's hard to put a number on it right now because I'd have to go back and calculate everything up (which I haven't done). Also I have a fair amount spent on custom cabinets that I haven't uploaded a video for yet. back of the napkin math puts me at roughly $17K at this point though, not including cabinets

@tradermos1851
@tradermos1851 3 года назад
Did they go under the baseboards or just up against them and have you had any issues with buckling since installing? Wondering if they need a 1/4" of space from the walls for expanding/contracting. That would probably also require installing quarter rounds to hide the gaps. Also were there any others you considered as these don't seem to be in stock anymore? I don't really see many others options with a rubber top and foam bottom like this which sounds like it gives the best of durability and comfort without feeling too "squishy" while lifting. Guessing that's probably why you went with them.
@PlatoonGarage
@PlatoonGarage 3 года назад
the foam/rubber expands and contracts very little overall. I have the flooring installed right up against the baseboard and no quarter round on top. I'm really happy with the flooring, like you said good mix of give and durability from foam and rubber combo. If i were doing it over again, I would still purchase this flooring :)
@tradermos1851
@tradermos1851 3 года назад
@@PlatoonGarage awesome thanks! Glad I found this video. Didn't really know about the foam/rubber combo before but found another comparable one that I'll probably be going with. Originally I was just trying to figure out if a DIY would be worth it vs. paying for it to be done along with the rest of the basement carpet install. But now I'd rather have this anyways over the all rubber roll options that flooring places were offering.

Most of the flooring went down in about 15 minutes. The areas around the baseboards and door required a couple of hours due to all of the measurements and cutting. Budget about 3 hours or so depending on how skilled you are. This is just for installation though, if you have clean up and removal of other flooring, you'll need to account for that.
