Quick verdict
LiftEvidence editorial assessment
A 4 × 12 ft roll of 3/8 in recycled-tire rubber, laid loose or with double-sided tape or adhesive. Rolls give long, seam-free runs across a room. Owners describe a premium feel, good cushioning and enough thickness to protect tile floors from weights. Like most recycled rubber, odour divides opinion, and cutting it to size is harder than it looks.
