Soundproof Flooring Mats & Rolls

Reduce impact noise, vibration and disturbance with our Decibel acoustic gym flooring. Designed for weightlifting areas, commercial fitness facilities and sound-sensitive home gyms, these dense rubber tiles help isolate the impact created by dropped weights, moving equipment, gym machines and high-intensity exercise.

Available in three heavy-duty thickness options, the Decibel Collection allows you to match your flooring to the weight being used and the level of acoustic protection required. Each 1m x 1m tile combines a smooth, slip-resistant surface with a dense rubber core and studded underside to cushion impact, protect the subfloor and reduce structural vibration.

Whether you are creating a free weights zone above another business, fitting out a garage close to neighbouring properties or trying to make an upstairs training room less disruptive, this specialist acoustic extra thick gym flooring provides a more effective solution than standard thin rubber matting.

Premium Acoustic Rubber Flooring

Gym noise is not limited to what can be heard inside the room. When weights, machines or jumping movements strike the floor, the resulting vibration can travel through the subfloor, walls and surrounding structure.

This is known as impact or structure-borne noise. It is often the main concern in:

• Gyms located above offices, shops or residential rooms
• Apartment and upstairs home gyms
• Hotels with fitness rooms near guest bedrooms
• Commercial gyms sharing walls or floors with other businesses
• Free weights areas with repeated dumbbell or barbell drops
• Functional training spaces used for plyometrics, tyre work or heavy equipment

Our Decibel tiles are manufactured from high-density recycled SBR rubber. Their thickness and compressed construction help absorb the energy created at floor level before it passes into the structure underneath.

Although no flooring can guarantee that a room will become completely soundproof, the correct acoustic tile can significantly improve impact isolation when combined with sensible equipment use, suitable building construction and appropriate wall or ceiling treatments where required.

For projects involving broader room acoustics, explore our range of acoustic rubber floor and wall tiles.

Acoustic Gym Flooring in Three Thickness Options

Choosing the correct thickness is important. A tile should be selected according to the heaviest weight likely to be dropped, how frequently impacts will occur and how sensitive the rooms around or below the gym are.

43mm Acoustic Gym Flooring

The 43mm option is suited to home gyms, personal training studios and commercial workout zones where improved sound and vibration control is required without using the thickest possible floor.

It is a practical choice for:

• Dumbbell and strength-training areas
• Functional workouts
• Moderate free weight use
• Cardio and resistance machines
• Garage or ground-floor home gyms
• Rooms where standard 15mm or 20mm flooring does not provide enough acoustic protection

For lighter domestic training where floor height is limited, our broader home gym flooring range also includes thinner rubber options.

53mm Acoustic Gym Flooring

The 53mm Decibel tile offers a higher level of impact absorption for demanding strength and conditioning areas. Its dense core is designed to withstand maximum weight drops of up to 300kg, making it suitable for Olympic lifting, bodybuilding, CrossFit-style training and busy commercial free weights zones.

Choose 50mm tiles where heavy weights will be used regularly or where the gym is positioned close to offices, treatment rooms, reception areas or neighbouring properties.

63mm Acoustic Gym Matting

The 63mm option is the thickest tile in the current Decibel Collection and is intended for high to extreme weightlifting applications. It can tolerate maximum weight drops of up to 350kg while providing the collection’s highest level of floor protection and vibration isolation.

This thickness is particularly useful for:

• Heavy deadlift and powerlifting zones
• Olympic lifting platforms
• Commercial free weights areas
• Strength and conditioning facilities
• Gyms located above occupied spaces
• Sites with particularly demanding acoustic requirements

Soundproof Rubber Matting for Impact Noise and Vibration

The word “soundproof” is often used to describe gym flooring, but it is important to understand what the floor can and cannot do.

Thick rubber tiles are especially effective at reducing impact noise and vibration created when an object or person strikes the floor. This includes:

• Barbells and dumbbells being lowered or dropped
• Treadmills and rowing machines operating
• Weight stacks returning during resistance training
• Jumping, burpees and plyometric movements
• Benches, racks and equipment shifting during use
• Sled, tyre and functional fitness exercises

Airborne sounds such as music, voices and amplified classes may also require additional acoustic treatment to the walls, ceiling, doors or building structure. For a gym above another property, the best result is usually achieved by treating the floor as one part of a wider acoustic plan.

Our Decibel tiles help address the most common floor-related problem: repeated impact being transferred through the subfloor.

Acoustic Flooring for Home and Garage Gyms

Noise control is particularly important when a gym is used early in the morning, late at night or close to family rooms and neighbouring homes.

In a garage, thick rubber flooring helps cushion hard concrete, protect the base from weights and reduce the sharp noise created by equipment contacting the floor. The studded underside also creates channels beneath the tile, which can assist with airflow and drainage where occasional moisture is present.

For a complete garage setup, view our dedicated garage gym flooring collection.

Upstairs rooms and apartments require more careful planning because vibration can transfer directly into rooms below. The thickest tile your available floor height and door clearance will allow is usually preferable, especially beneath free weights or powered equipment. However, building construction, ceiling cavities and structural connections will also affect the final result.

Our gym flooring for apartments collection provides further options for compact and noise-conscious workout areas.

Acoustic Flooring for Commercial Gyms

In commercial facilities, uncontrolled noise can affect members, staff and neighbouring businesses. It can also make a gym feel harsher and less comfortable, particularly in open-plan buildings with concrete walls and high ceilings.

Decibel acoustic flooring can be used throughout a full strength area or installed as a targeted zone beneath the noisiest activities. Common applications include:

• Free weights and dumbbell areas
• Olympic lifting zones
• Functional fitness spaces
• Strength and conditioning facilities
• Personal training studios
• Hotel and leisure centre gyms
• Cross-training and bodybuilding areas

For general training zones that do not require such deep impact protection, standard rubber gym flooring tiles may be a more economical choice. Using different flooring thicknesses to zone the gym allows higher acoustic protection to be concentrated where it is genuinely needed.

Protection for Floors, Equipment and Users

Acoustic rubber flooring does more than control noise. Its dense, elastic construction helps protect the subfloor from cracking, denting and repeated impact damage. It can also reduce wear on weight plates, dumbbells and other equipment.

The cushioned surface provides a more forgiving base beneath the feet than bare concrete and helps reduce the harshness of repetitive high-impact movements. A smooth, slip-resistant top supports secure footing, while bevelled edges create a neat and professional finish at exposed perimeters.

Because the tiles measure 1m x 1m, quantities are also straightforward to calculate. Measure the length and width of the area in metres, multiply the two figures and allow approximately 5–7% extra for cuts and fitting waste.

Installing Acoustic Gym Floor Tiles

Decibel tiles can be laid over a firm, level and structurally sound base such as concrete or suitable timber. The subfloor should be clean, dry and free from loose material before installation.

For wall-to-wall rooms, the weight and density of the tiles can help hold the floor securely in position. Adhesive may be recommended for exposed layouts, ramps, heavily trafficked commercial zones or installations where movement must be prevented.

Before ordering, check:

• Door and threshold clearance
• Transitions into adjoining flooring
• Ramp or edging requirements
• The condition and level of the subfloor
• The location of racks and fixed equipment
• The maximum anticipated weight drop
• Any acoustic requirements set by a landlord, architect or building manager

Build a Quieter, Better-Protected Training Space

The Decibel Collection is designed for gyms where ordinary flooring does not provide enough impact isolation. With three heavy-duty thickness options, it allows you to balance floor height, weight capacity and acoustic performance around the way your space will actually be used.

Choose 43mm for moderate weights and improved everyday noise control, 53mm for demanding strength areas and weight drops up to 300kg, or 63mm for the heaviest lifting zones and maximum drops of up to 350kg.
