Fitness & Workout Flooring

Choose your thickness by the activities you plan to peform.  Lightweight exercise and cardio studios for example, work well with less dense rubber tiles starting at 11mm and 15mm.  Higher impact workouts and free weights (depending on maximum weight drop) should be a 20mm tile or above.  Opt for anti shock tiles at 43mm and above for very heavy weightlifting.

Rubber roll works best in large, open-plan spaces as it minimises cutting and waste.  Opt for rolls in areas where there is less free weight use or high impact as rubber rolls tend to come in lighter thicknesses eg functional training.

It is recommended that rubber roll is glued to the subfloor for maximum stability.  Rubber tiles do not require glue as they can be installed using compression.  Both methods (adhesive or compression) are suitable for fitting rubber tiles.
