Wood foam floor tiles are beautiful, soft, and incredibly versatile!

While they look just like polished wood, they’re really foam squares that interlock with one another to securely cover an entire floor. They tend to be quite firm yet soft. With such style, and ease-of-use, you can imagine how many applications they can be used in.

The following are just a few of the many ways wood foam floor tiles can be used, for both their function and their appearance.

Home Gym Flooring

In 2018, Americans spent almost $4 billion on fitness equipment for their homes.

Since wood foam floor tiles can be found in so many different densities and surface textures, it’s easy to find flooring ideal for any kind of home gym.

Foam floor tiles are soft enough to provide cushioning for exercises performed on the floor. They are gentle on the skin so they won’t cause floor burns.

Best of all, their interlocking floor mat style makes them so easy to install that literally anyone can do it.

Kids Rooms Flooring

Most parents are concerned for the safety of their children, and for good reason. While kids should be active physically, they aren’t the best judges of what’s safe and what isn’t—even in their bedrooms, accidents can happen, causing bruised heads or even trips to the emergency room.

To curb this problem (and look amazing in the process), wood foam floor tiles are ideal for use in children’s bedrooms and playrooms. Instead of worrying every time your kids rough-house or get into a scuffle, you can trust that the soft flooring will at least help keep them safe, even if it doesn’t help keep them calm.

Basement Flooring

Basements environments can be unforgiving, especially when they’re unfinished basements. From walls to floors to ceilings, even the best of them tend to be hard, cold, and unfriendly.

Wood foam floor tiles can dramatically soften up a basement’s feel—and its appearance. They provide the same insulation and cushioning that thick carpet offers, without absorbing moisture or being easily stained. If they get drenched in a downpour while the sump pump mysteriously stops working, all you have to do is lay them outside and they’ll dry out quickly.

Trade Show Booths

With their fatigue-reducing qualities, wood foam floor tiles are a popular choice for padding the floors of trade show booths. Manufacturers offer a near-limitless variety of wood grain patterns, styles, and thicknesses which make it easy to create a stylish booth that fits the rest of your decor.

In addition to their comfort and appearance, they’re incredibly lightweight and portable, making transportation a breeze. They’re the ideal choice for exhibit professionals on the go.

Foam flooring and mats are commonly used in businesses, schools, gyms, and even homes. But despite their popularity, there are a lot of misconceptions regarding this type of floor surface. So today, we're going to take a look at a few misconceptions and the truth behind them.

Foam flooring is too expensive. As far as reasonably priced flooring goes, foam floor mats are a great option. Foam flooring offers not only a low upfront cost, but it's cost-effective -- this surface is durable and can be used in creative ways to develop colorful patterns if you desire. The durability, flexibility, and low maintenance make it worth the cost.

There is only one use for foam flooring. Many people believe foam flooring is only used for fitness. And while it's true that foam carpet tiles and mats, along with gymnastics wedges, are often used in the 180,000 fitness clubs around the world, there are several other uses. Foam interlocking floor mats are great for schools, sensory rooms, and even work settings as well.

All foam flooring is anti-fatigue. While it's true that foam flooring does provide cushioning, foam can vary in density and durability, meaning not all foam flooring is anti-fatigue. There are a few foams that are labeled as "anti-fatigue" but generally, it's good to choose a foam that offers some cushioning while still remaining sturdy.

It's difficult to clean foam flooring. Cleaning and maintenance is always a concern regarding flooring. Fortunately, foam flooring, tumbling mats, and gymnastics wedges are some of the easiest surfaces to clean. Debris like dust and dirt should be swept away regularly and foam surfaces can then be cleaned with basic soap and water. It's important to let the material completely dry before rolling it up or using it again but other than that, maintenance is a breeze.

You can't move foam flooring around. One of the many great things about foam flooring is that it is lightweight and easy to move. This is great for places like schools, cheerleading gyms, and trade shows where the need for certain types of floor surfaces may change. It's especially easy to move interlocking floor mats to different areas of a room or even in a building. This allows users to change the flooring to fit their different needs.

Hopefully, this article cleared up any confusion regarding foam flooring. This surface option is cost-effective, versatile, and can be a great addition to a lot of different environments.

Once you have children, your entire world changes. The spare room in your house changes from a home office into a playroom for your children. As parents, we want our children to get the most out of their playtime activities. That is why these great playroom hacks will not only help your children stay safe, but it will keep them active as well.

Safety First

Every parent knows that children are extremely clumsy. It seems like every day they are falling and getting hurt in some way. When a house has hardwood floors or cement floors, those small falls can end up causing some big bruises. That is why it is a great idea to invest in a foam floor mat for the playroom. Foam floor mats help cushion any and every fall so that there are fewer tears shed on a daily basis. If you are not a fan of the bright colored floor mats, there is also a wood grain floor mat that might blend in a little better in your home. Either way, these floor mats will be a great addition to your house, especially if you add more active equipment into your playroom like a gymnastics incline mat (or “cheese wedge” mat).

Active Equipment

Gymnastics cheese wedges are great additions to any playroom. These wedges allow your children to climb and stay active even when they are inside. The American Academy of Pediatrics says that children between 2 and 5 years old should practice motor skills such as tumbling, running, throwing, and catching every day. Having more active play equipment in your house like the gymnastics cheese wedge will promote just that. Adding a tumbling mat to your playroom is also a great idea that will help develop their tumbling motor skills. More active indoor equipment will also help tire them out, so nap time will be a whole lot easier on you and them!

Transitioning The Room

It can be hard to spend a lot of money on a playroom when you know that a child will quickly grow out of it. But, luckily this equipment can grow with them. It was revealed that in 2017, the number of participants in gymnastics amounted to approximately 4.81 million. That is a lot of children! Gymnastics tends to catch a lot of kid's attention so they could use the tumbling mats and gymnastics wedges even into their late childhood. Even if they are not interested in gymnastics, the mats can be transformed into many things like martial arts mats and yoga mats!

Investing in a great playroom for your children will be worth every penny. It keeps them healthy, happy, and active. It also helps them develop their motor skills in a safe and fun environment. You will not regret it one bit!
