FAQs
What thickness do I need for free-weights?
10–15 mm suits most racks and dumbbell zones. For frequent heavy drops or Olympic lifting platforms, use 20–30 mm.
Will it reduce noise for neighbours below?
Yes — dense rubber already dampens impact. For best results on mezzanines or flats, combine tiles/rolls with our acoustic underlay.
Is the rubber strong-smelling?
Products are formulated for low odour. Any slight smell dissipates after ventilation and initial cleaning.
Can I install it myself?
Interlocking tiles are DIY-friendly. For large commercial areas, we recommend tape or adhesive per product instructions.
Is it suitable with underfloor heating?
Yes, in most cases. Keep surface temps < 27 °C and follow the heating manufacturer’s guidance.
Why Choose Gym Flooring?
Selecting the right gym flooring is essential for safety, comfort and performance. High‑quality gym flooring protects your subfloor from heavy weights and equipment, provides traction to prevent slips, and cushions impacts to reduce strain on joints. Whether you're outfitting a home gym, a commercial fitness centre or a CrossFit box, proper flooring reduces noise, absorbs vibration and enhances the overall workout experience.Applications
• Home gyms and garage training areas
• Commercial gyms, studios and fitness centres
• Weightlifting platforms and powerlifting zones
• CrossFit boxes, HIIT and functional training spaces
• Yoga, Pilates and dance studios
• School sports halls and community centres
• Rehabilitation and physiotherapy roomsMaterials & Construction
Gym flooring is made from durable materials such as recycled rubber, EVA foam and PVC. Rubber tiles and rolls offer dense, shock‑absorbing support for weight rooms and heavy lifting. EVA foam interlocking tiles provide a softer surface for bodyweight exercises and martial arts. PVC sports flooring offers a smooth, easy‑to‑clean finish ideal for multipurpose spaces. Thickness options range from 6 mm for cardio and lightweight training to 20 mm or more for heavy weightlifting and sled work.Installation & Maintenance
Most gym flooring uses interlocking tile systems or loose‑lay rolls that require no adhesives, making installation quick and DIY‑friendly. For permanent commercial installations or heavy drop zones, adhesive can be used to secure tiles and ramps. Sweep or vacuum regularly and clean with a pH‑neutral detergent and warm water. Avoid solvents or harsh chemicals that could degrade the material. Replace individual tiles as needed for a fresh, hygienic training space.FAQ
What thickness do I need for gym flooring? 6–8 mm is sufficient for cardio and studio use, 8‑15 mm for machine and selectorised weight areas, and 15‑20 mm or more for heavy free weight zones.
Does gym flooring reduce noise? Yes. Dense rubber tiles and rolls dampen vibration and noise, protecting neighbours and reducing echo in larger spaces.
Can I install gym flooring over carpet? For best results, install over a firm, level surface. Remove carpet or choose rigid tiles/plywood underlay to create a stable base.
Is gym flooring suitable with underfloor heating? Many rubber and PVC options work with underfloor heating, but check product specifications to ensure thermal compatibility.
How do I clean gym flooring? Sweep or vacuum debris regularly. Mop with a mild detergent and warm water, then allow to dry completely before use.Related Guides & Resources
