Virgin rubber flooring is made from rubber that has not been processed other than what was required to produce the rubber flooring. Most rubber gym flooring is made from at least some recycled rubber content.

Virgin Rubber Gym Floor Tiles

Whether building a gym in a commercial setting or at home in a garage or a spare room, any of these tiles will provide an outstanding look. They’ll give customers a long-lasting product that delivers excellent value over time as well.

How Do Virgin Rubber Gym Floor Tiles Compare to Recycled Rubber Tiles?

Both virgin and recycled rubber gym floor tiles will provide strong results. Both are available in a straight edge or interlocking tile format. Both are non-toxic for safety.

Some customers prefer the eco-friendly nature of using recycled rubber tiles. These products consist of rubber recycled from old tires, keeping them out of landfills.

Recycled rubber has a lower overall cost than natural rubber as well.

On the other hand, newly harvested virgin rubber gym floor tiles can provide a better look than recycled rubber tiles, usually offering more color varieties.

Natural rubber tends to have a significantly lower odor than recycled rubber at the time of installation. This can be a major benefit when installing them in a small room. (The rubbery, new car smell from all types of rubber tiles fades over time.)

What Are Some Good Rubber Tiles for Small Fitness Rooms?

The Geneva brand of fitness tiles works well for small workout rooms, where the odor of a recycled rubber tile could be detrimental. These tiles offer a blend of natural and recycled rubber tiles which lowers the price and maintains high quality standards with low odor.
