The G-Floor Exercise Equipment Mat is an excellent way to protect your subfloor from your exercise equipment. The mat is slip-resistant and waterproof, and it’s crafted from a durable polyvinyl. While the mat is lightweight, it can be easily installed by simply unrolling it and placing it beneath your equipment.
Exercise Floor Tiles
Flooring tiles for home gym workout rooms are available in plastic, rubber, and foam material. Interlocking workout tiles are excellent home gym flooring ideas, and they’re great for easy installation flooring since the tiles are easy to handle and install and require no adhesive. Straight-edge tiles will typically require some glue or tape-down installation in areas larger than 500 square feet and with tiles that are less than 1/2 inch thick. Some one-inch-thick rubber gym flooring tiles that are 2x2 ft in size and that weigh over 13 lbs. per tile can be used in residential and smaller gym flooring installations with no glue; they can be dry laid and cut to fit for a wall-to-wall installation.Modular tiles are 1x1 ft or similarly sized and feature active locking or click-together connector systems. Made of plastic material, modular tiles can be installed over carpeting and feature a hardness that is in between foam and rubber material.
Rubber Tiles
Rubber tiles are typically 8 mm or 3/8 inch thick and are durable and hard like a car tire. Rubber tiles are designed to stand up to exercise equipment and weights depending on your rubber thickness. For free weights more than 50 pounds, we recommend rubber floors that are ½-inch-thick and thicker. For home heavy weight lifting we feature ¾-inch and 1-inch rubber tiles.
Rubber flooring is available in all black, black with color flecks, and all-color tiles. The black portion of most of our rubber flooring options consists of recycled rubber material from various sources, some of which include reground truck tires. Color fleck options of 10, 20, or higher color percentages consist of EPDM rubber colorant. The 100 percent color tiles are either EPDM or synthetic rubber-colored material in most cases. Our most durable and high-end rubber tiles are 100% colored tiles. The most economical rubber is generally all black or even a reground rubber material that is re-manufactured by the rubber flooring factories from rubber scrap material.
Interlocking Rubber Floor Tiles
Our interlocking rubber floor tiles are a ⅜-inch tile available in black or a light gray fleck option. These tiles measure 2x2 feet, so they’ll quickly cover a larger space. The puzzle-style edges make for a simple yet secure installation, and the rubber offers impact absorption to maximize your comfort while protecting your subfloor.
UltraTile Rubber Weight Floor
If you’re looking for maximum shock absorption, the UltraTile Rubber Weight Floor tiles are a great choice. These 1-inch tiles are designed to withstand repeated heavy impacts from free weights, so they can help protect your subfloor. Made of rugged vulcanized composition rubber, the tiles deliver slip resistance whether they’re wet or dry. They’re also durable enough to withstand repeated installations, making them a long-lasting investment in your home gym.
Foam Tiles
Foam flooring tiles are generally interlocking tiles that are dye-cut at the factory during the manufacturing process. Foam tiles are made from a combination of PE or polyethylene and EVA plastic pellet material. Foam flooring tiles are available in soft, standard, and high-hardness options. Soft foam floors are commonly found in big box stores, and sometimes also feature muted or faded colors, both of which are associated with cost savings during manufacturing.However, some of our personal exercise foam mats are specifically designed with a softer foam hardness for floor exercises. Standard hardness foam tiles offer a safe and soft flooring option for multi-use areas for kids' playrooms, basement floors, and residential exercise rooms. High-hardness foam tiles are designed for karate and aerobic floors, specifically for standing and kicking drills and light ground work. Aerobic floors feature our most hard foam flooring option.
Sometimes with foam tiles hardness is associated with density. Hardness is a measure of just that, how hard the foam feels to the human. Density is a measure of the weight of material per cubic foot. The two are related and not the same. Higher density foam tiles have more material and less air per cubic foot and are typically high quality and will last longer and perform better over time. The way to produce a less expensive foam floor tile is to reduce the material per cubic foot and produce a lighter weight tile, using less material.
Gym Floor Workout Fitness Tile Pebble
The Gym Floor Workout Fitness Tiles are designed for use in weight rooms. The lightweight EVA foam is easy to install and waterproof, but it’s also strong enough to withstand the weight of gym equipment. The tiles feature a slip-resistant textured surface for safety.
