It is a stable film, nothing more, nothing less. Rather than white transparent translucent, wood or laminate structure can be seen only when looking at it vertically. The film rolls inevitable at the ends up, that's ugly and a tripping hazard. Visually therefore not suitable for the living area. A, whatsoever insulation (noise vibration ?, ?, shocks?) Can not be ascertained. Where is the "high-quality soft foam" in the product description? It is and remains a thin, hard film !! Non-slip my ergometer is entirely on the film, which it has previously done but without the plastic. The surface is effectively protected from sweat and other Kleckerkram, is indeed a film. That what this product is and can be, be represented with any good construction foil as good or better at a fraction of the price.
