What thickness of gym flooring do I need?

The right gym flooring thickness depends on the type of training, equipment used and how frequently weights are dropped. Lighter flooring suits cardio and studio spaces, while thicker rubber gym flooring provides greater protection for free weights and Olympic lifting.

Is thicker gym flooring always better?

Not necessarily. Thicker gym flooring offers greater impact absorption but also adds cost, weight and floor height. The best option is the thickness that provides enough protection for your training without unnecessarily over-engineering the space.

Can rubber gym flooring be installed over concrete?

Yes, rubber gym flooring can usually be installed directly over a clean, dry and level concrete subfloor. Any cracks, moisture or uneven areas should be addressed before fitting the tiles.

Do rubber gym floor tiles need to be glued down?

Most heavy rubber gym floor tiles can be loose-laid in enclosed spaces. Adhesive may be recommended for high-traffic commercial gyms, open edges or areas where the flooring could move during use.

How do I clean and maintain rubber gym flooring?

Regularly vacuum or sweep away loose dirt before mopping with warm water and a suitable pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, excessive water and abrasive cleaning tools that could damage the rubber surface.
