Its been a week of putting a 1x2x3 board on it with weights and it still wants to curl up. I don’t want to use duct tape. I have to move it to mop so fastening it the floor is out. It is commercial grade and idk why it wont relax on the ends.

Shock treatment. Barely heat it, not so it’s hot to the touch, but warm and pliable. Then flatten the fuck out of it with something cold. I have aluminum plates for this but you could use some steel that fits in the freezer, or steel with a bag of ice on it. The idea is that we get it pliable, put it how we want it, and then cool it off rapidly to make it stay like that.
Alternate: tell the boss to get a decent walk off mat

15% is cleaner in my opinion
These things usually are stored rolled up, and they curl when new because of that.
Usually they’ll lay flat in their own inside of a week. I have seen people hasten that with a heatgun or small portable room heater- just enough to warm it a bit.
I’ve also seen people melt them trying that.
Had the same issue at my gas station, pick up a cheap clothes iron, it will heat the area enough to relax it. You can also use a heat gun if you’re careful. Once it lays down right, weigh it down again and let it sit until fully cooled. You may need to do it in stages if the curl is bad.
Best solution yet imo. ty
Reverse bending has worked for me.
Or find some reason to put an indoor plant, large ornament or small bookcase on it.
This looks like an office building? You could turn the corners into “meeting areas” where business men and women meet for brainstorming or team building exercises. If this is your private home you could have your children stand there when they have done something naughty.

Could you carpet tape it or Velcro it down?

You can’t attach it to the floor, but can you use some good double-sided tape or super glue to attach some steel weights to the underside of the corners?
Any home improvement store should have some flat bar. 1/8" or about 3mm should be flat enough to avoid a tripping hazard, but check local regs for commercial properties.
Heat gun?
I’ve seen people use low profile corner weights on those before. They’re little triangular weights that slip over the corners. May not be legal in some areas due to being a tripping hazard.
Maybe bend it in half length wise and see if that fixes it
hot glue gun
