  1. Line To Protect

For home-owners, cutting yoga mats and lining the base of drawers and cabinets can not only protect their interiors but also help soundproof your kitchen. Utensils and other appliances tend to rustle around each time you’re in search of an item, which can create noise for the surrounding rooms.

Large area rugs or hallway runners can become dangerous without proper security to the floor beneath. A thin ?” mat rolls provide not only that but also an added level of padding for the rug to provide extra cushion. This technique was especially useful for rooms with a large area rug! 


  1. Kill The Weeds

One of the more interesting ways to use a mat roll was for killing weeds. Farmers have used mat rolls to cover an existing patch of grass or weeds to make room for new plants. With the weight of the yoga mat and hot sun, it’s only a matter of time before your soil is ready to start fresh again.


  1. Retirement Homes

Covering select rooms with yoga mat material caters to a safe and comfortable walking surface for the elderly. In retirement homes, their gym or game room flooring can offer residents an added level of comfort with padding below their feet. Soft surfaces also nourish sore muscles surrounding our spine, which sounds nice at any age!



  1. Kids Daycare

Kids fall often when playing and running around, it’s what they do. Which is why a flooring made of soft mat material can avoid the bruising and skin damage that comes with it. One daycare covered a quarter of their main playroom with mat roll material, offering their kids a safer place to release all their energy. 


  1. Garage Flooring

For those who utilize partial garage space for handy work, laying down a mat roll or two in that space is definitely a luxury. Some mechanics have lined a majority of their workspace with mat rolls, leaving the only hard surfaces to work on for the cars. 


Standing on your feet for long periods of time when working on a project, or even accidentally dropping heavy metal tools against the concrete can be enough reasons to heavily consider padding your garage with a softer material.  


  1. Camping

When cut, mat rolls offer you the ability to line the inside of any tent with customizable and reusable flooring. If the inside of your tent isn’t a concern, laying underneath the space is also a favorable idea. The padding creates a nice barrier between you and the cold Earth at night, as well as the potentially wet soil when it rains. Just roll the cut pieces back up when the weekend is over and use again on your next trip!
