What floor covering for a gym?

Gyms are one type of sports facility. These facilities can be divided into large-area facilities and smaller ones: home gyms and exercise rooms dedicated to individual training. Each of these facilities, if the owner is aware, should be equipped with floor protection – gym flooring.

What gym flooring should you choose? – We advise

Power Rubber offers high-quality, professional and comfortable rubber flooring that ensures stability during exercises.

The choice of appropriate sports flooring should depend on what activities will be performed in a given facility: whether it will be a fitness room where the flooring will be used in treadmill and bike zones or other gym machines, or a crossfit facility where barbells are dropped from heights of 180 cm or more. We focus on what activities are planned. The higher the intensity, the thicker the rubber training floor should be.

When investing in rubber flooring, the size of the weights used should be considered. For your convenience, we have divided the solutions to make it easier to choose what you need. The necessary information is presented in the table below.

Gym flooring under fitness equipment

We recommend roll mats with a thickness from 6 mm to 10 mm. This choice effectively protects the floor while reducing purchase costs. Less raw material and adhesive are required, allowing us to offer better pricing conditions. Roll mats are ideal for covering large areas. They only need to be unrolled, positioned correctly and cut to the required length.

Deadlift mats

They protect the substrate despite impacts from weights exceeding 250 kg. This has been tested by us. We invite you to cooperate if you train with heavier loads.

Gym flooring in the free weight zone

If we know that dumbbells, barbells and variable weight exercises using plates will be used in the sports facility, the right choice will be gym puzzle mats with thicknesses of 15 mm, 20 mm or 25 mm.

Rubber puzzle flooring – durable and resistant surface

The best gym flooring should be durable and long-lasting. When planning a gym, the best solution is flooring made of rubber granulate. It is characterized by exceptional resistance to abrasion, dents, crumbling and cracking. Thanks to its elasticity, it does not deform under long-term physical pressure.

Rubber flooring provides high shock absorption, protecting the top layer of the floor from damage and scratches. Cushioned flooring adapts well to minor substrate irregularities, reduces the risk of permanent damage to equipment and machines, and increases comfort during dynamic and static training. This type of flooring is easy to clean and maintain.

What flooring should you choose for a home gym to reduce noise?

Puzzle mats for a home gym are an ideal solution with many advantages:

• reduces noise

• protects the floor

• protects neighbors (sound insulation)

• does not absorb moisture

• enables training with heavier weights at home (e.g. squats)

• floor mats prevent injuries (shock absorption)

• anti-slip surface minimizes the risk of slipping and falling

Rubber gym flooring

It is worth protecting floors or panels from unpleasant consequences caused by dropping dumbbells or barbells from height. Rubber flooring can be installed across the entire surface or used under equipment such as a multi-gym, treadmill, stationary bike, wooden box, etc.
