Question 1

Do You Provide Rubber Flooring Samples?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we're happy to provide flooring samples for a variety of our products. Complete the form on our Request a Sample page and we'll ship samples to you as quickly as possible.

Question 2

How Thick Should my Gym Rubber Floor be?

Accepted Answer

Gym floors should be firm enough to withstand the impact of workout weights or equipment. For light workouts, we recommend 1/4" thick gym flooring and no less than 5/16" thick for weight lifting, heavier fitness machines, and cardio.

Question 3

How Do I Secure The Rubber Flooring in my Gym?

Accepted Answer

There are a few options for securing your new rubber home gym flooring or commercial gym flooring. If you opt for a rubber gym tile format, an adhesive is unnecessary--these tiles interlock to stay in place.

If you elect to go with a rubber mat or sheet format, you have the option of a temporary installation by loose-laying the mats, a semi-permanent installation.

Question 4

How Often Should I Clean My Home or Commercial Gym Flooring?

Accepted Answer

How often you clean your gym flooring will depend on the number of people using the space and how often it is used. We suggest you vacuum your floors after daily workouts and deep clean your gym floors weekly to prevent dirt from piling up. Regardless of whether you choose tiles, mats, or rolls, gym floors collect a lot of dirt and sweat from workouts so it's important to clean them regularly with a neutral PH cleaner and disinfect as needed.

Question 5

Why Is Shock Absorption in Rubber Gym Flooring Crucial for Joint Protection?

Accepted Answer

Shock absorption in rubber gym flooring is vital because it cushions impact, reducing stress on joints like knees and ankles during high-impact exercises. This helps prevent injuries and enhances comfort for anyone using the gym floor mats or workout floor mats.

Question 6

What Type of Rubber Flooring Is Best for Free Weight Areas and How Can It Prevent Injuries?

Accepted Answer

For free weight areas, high-density, thick rubber gym flooring (often 3/4 inch or thicker gym floor tiles or rubber mats for gym) is best. It protects the subfloor from dropped weights and prevents injuries by providing a stable, shock-absorbent surface.

Question 7

Can You Install Rubber Roll Flooring Yourself or Should You Hire a Professional Team?

Accepted Answer

While gym flooring rolls can be DIY-installed, especially for smaller home gym flooring projects if you're handy, professional installation is often recommended for large or commercial gym flooring to ensure a seamless, durable finish and proper adhesion.

Question 8

What Are the Common Installation Mistakes and How Can You Prevent Curling or Peeling?

Accepted Answer

Common mistakes include poor subfloor prep, not acclimating the rubber gym flooring, incorrect adhesive use, or not leaving expansion gaps. Prevent curling/peeling by ensuring a clean, level subfloor, allowing acclimation, using the right adhesive, and following manufacturer guidelines.

Question 9

What's the Difference Between SBR and EPDM Rubber and Which Is Better for You?

Accepted Answer

SBR (Styrene-Butadiene Rubber) is a durable, cost-effective recycled rubber, common in black gym floor mats. EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a synthetic virgin rubber offering vibrant color flecks, UV resistance, and higher durability, often at a higher price for gym flooring tiles.

Question 10

How Easy Is It to Clean Rubber Flooring and What Cleaning Mistakes Should You Avoid?

Accepted Answer

Rubber gym flooring is generally easy to clean with regular vacuuming and mopping using a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh solvents, excessive water, or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the rubber gym mats or gym floor tiles over time.

Question 11

Can Rubber Gym Flooring Be Customized with Logo?

Accepted Answer

Yes, rubber gym flooring can be customized with logos or designs using methods like waterjet cutting for inlaid EPDM graphics or screen printing. Many commercial gym flooring installations feature prominent brand logos or functional zone markings directly on the gym floor tiles or rolls.

Question 12

What Are Some Real Examples?

Accepted Answer

University Gyms: Often feature the school mascot or athletic department logo inlaid in the center of the basketball court's rubber surround or in the weight room flooring.
CrossFit Boxes: May have their box logo, lifting platform outlines, or lane markers integrated into their gym matting.
Boutique Fitness Studios: Might use custom colors or patterns in their gym flooring tiles to match their brand aesthetic.
