Free Weights Flooring

If you have a free weights area in your facility or at home, you will know that comfort and high protection are key to maintaining safety to the user as well as the subfloor and surrounding environment.

Our range of rubber gym flooring tiles and rolls absorb shock from heavy weights, weight benches, rigs and equipment as well as intense activity. They safeguard against body injury and damage to the sub floor in all free weight areas as well as the main functional zones of a gym.

As well as protecting the body and subfloor, free weight flooring and weightlifting mats also reduce sound and vibrations from noisy weights and equipment, minimising noise disruption.  Our gym equipment floor mats help to create a more focused environment, keeping noise and distraction to a minimum while protecting the user and the equipment from repetitive damage. 

What is Free Weights Flooring?

Free weight flooring is constructed from a heavy duty, durable rubber in thicknesses from approx 30mm up to 60mm to suit different levels of activity and weight capacity. The denser the rubber gym flooring, the more shock absorption and the more effective it is for heavier weights.  Alternatively, rubber weight lifting pads can be placed at weightlifting stations to support the barbell when dropped/laid down.  These can be useful but restrictive if you want to have freedom of movement when training. 

What Thickness of Free Weight Flooring should I Opt for?

There are numerous gymnasium mats for sale and it's not always easy selecting the correct type and thickness for weight training.  The thickness of free weights flooring should be able to withstand the weight capacity you intend to use. Most free weight flooring has a maximum weight drop, for example a 20mm thick floor has a max weight drop of approx 140kg. Use this has a guide to determine the best thickness when sourcing free weight flooring solutions or weightlifting rubber mats.  Consider rubber weight lifting mats from 30mm + for the most effective noise reduction.

Can I use Free Weight Flooring for others uses other than a Free Weight Area?

Free weights flooring is versatile and one of the best floor solutions on the market for all round fitness use. It can be fitted in areas with heavy equipment to support machines such as treadmills, bikes and rowers as well as general workout areas. You can opt for a thicker tile solution for a free weight area and a less dense tile option for other zones that don't require the sound control or extra layer of protection.  Our Free Weights gym flooring can be used for gym flooring commercial solutions as well as for all types of home gym workout spaces.
