Why do the larger tile sizes cost more per square foot?
As the size of a foam tile increases, the odds of a surface defect on the tile increase. This results in lost material that must be factored into the final cost of the product. For example, a surface defect on a three foot square tile is the equivalent of loosing enough material to make 9 one foot tiles. It affects the final cost, but our quality standards are so high that we guarantee your new mat will have no significant SURFACE DEFECTS regardless of the tile size. Don’t let anyone fool you. Major surface defects are not normal; they’re a sign of bad chemistry to begin with and poor quality control during production.
