For people who are looking at this for fitness equipment, make sure you check the length as this is just 4 feet. You might need to get 2 of them if your fitness equipment is longer than 4 feet.

As an alternative, I picked this up from Amazon which is great for my laminate flooring and my rowing machine (7 feet long): https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0012MEZKG. It is not as thick as the Princess Auto one but the advantage would be that your fitness equipment may not slide when you are doing your workout. This also folds so you can adjust the length to as you see fit.

Very nice. Shipping is expensive though.
Doesn't seem to be in stock at any Princess Auto stores nearby me.

*edit*

Confirmed! Once you proceed further through checkout they apply the shipping credit at that point. Great deal! And yes sold out in store across the GTA with the odd 1 available, which is likely phantom stock.

Are these sufficient to put on the ground to absorb 80-90lb dumbbells dropped from about 4-5 inches on a ground-level tile-floor?

Thanks OP, this is a nice mat, 41lbs, 3/4" thick

Slap 2 of them together and compare to this mat by the same company but at only 3/8" thickness and $115 https://www.fitnesstown.ca/4x6_Rubber_M ... oduct.aspx

I bought two of these and they work great for gym flooring. They are heavy, but very thick and sturdy. No problem dropping weights on them and they stay put. The top has a button like texture, and I flipped this over to utilize the flat bottom.

The smell is pretty strong, but after a week and a half starting to go away.

These are standard "button" style Horse Stall mats (4' x 6'), but cut in half to (4' x 3'). The button side is supposed to be the bottom, as they create little air pockets that provide some cushion when weight is applied on top.
These mats were originally intended for use in well ventilated areas (like a horse stall). The strong smell is the mat releasing VOC gas, which may be harmful for your health. If you are using indoors, it is advisable to first air these mats outside in the strong summer sun, as sunlight helps release the VOC gasses.

I assume these can be used outdoors? I covered my porch is epoxy and it has been slippery all winter, so want to lay this down from steps to door.

These are OOS in my area and online.
