subject: Where To Use Your Foam Floor Tiles [print this page] Instead of asking, what are foam floor tiles used for, possibly a better question would be what are foam floor mats not used for? There are many uses for foam floor tiles: protection, comfort, education, fun, and creativity. Maybe this is a little more than what you were expecting, but let me explain.
Foam floor tiles and mats are usually made from durable, nontoxic, water proof EVA foam. Most people know that these come in packages of interlocking squares, but they also come in many other forms such as rolls to cover larger areas. Several thicknesses are also available to fit your needs. Lets take a look at some other uses.
Protection from falls is one use of foam tiles. Take a look at any child care center and you will find them covering large areas of the floor to help keep children from injuring themselves. Parents use them at home as well for similar purposes.
The door greeter at Wal Mart stands on foam floor tiles, and businesses will place them anywhere else employees are standing or working for long periods as well. It has long been known that the use of foam floor tiles in this manner can help prevent injury and fatigue.
Foam mats can be used to protect a finished concrete or tile floor from heavy equipment that is sitting on it, or from heavy objects being dropped on the floor. A workout room is one example of this.
Another use for foam floor tiles is to create a softer more comfortable work or living area. These floor mats come in many different designs, thicknesses, and colors.
These foam tiles are made for education that combines fun too. There are sets your children can use for hop scotch, or to teach them colors, letters or numbers. Your children can also learn creativity by using them to make fun and colorful designs.
As stated before, there are numerous designs, colors, and thicknesses for uses in many different places. From industrial to gym, or home to daycare, you are sure to be able to find the right foam floor tiles for your needs.
