GM Interlocking Rubber Floor Tiles Blue/Gray 8 mm x 2x2 Ft.

Home Gym Floors, Basement Floors, Garage Floors, Exercise Room Flooring

Here are the top five reasons to install our 2-by-2-foot interlocking rubber floor tiles.

1. Easy DIY Installation Interlocking Rubber Mats

Size and Weight: The interlocking rubber floor mats weigh a little more than seven pounds each, making them easy to handle and install. The square rubber interlocking tiles are easier to install than other heavier rubber flooring options, including rolled rubber flooring.

The interlocking rubber floor tiles measure exactly 23-by-23 inches in size and offer 8 mm of thickness (roughly 0.31 inches). This size works well for easy installation of indoor home gym flooring. The 8 mm rubber is durable and provides a bit of forgiveness over a traditional hard floor. The nearly 2-by-2-foot tile size means one person can carry and place the individual tiles with relative ease.

Subfloor requirements: Installation of these rubber tiles works best when performed over a flat floor. An uneven base floor could cause a raising of the seams between the tiles.

As long as the subflooring or current floor is hard and level, you can install our interlocking rubber floor tiles directly over the current flooring. There is no need waste time tearing out existing flooring.

Determining Number of Tiles Needed: These interlocking rubber flooring tiles feature a tile coverage of 3.67 square feet after interlocking the tiles together. To help calculate the tile count for your room, try our interactive Floor Plan Designer or give one of our helpful representatives a call.

Laying rubber flooring tiles Because the dry lay interlocking rubber gym flooring tiles fit together tightly, no adhesive is required to install this floor. Each tile contains the same interlocking pattern on all four sides - called a universal interlocking system. This allows rubber tiles to lock together, no matter which sides align, and allows the installer to work more quickly without having to line up each tile in a certain orientation.

Although installation of this type of floor requires no adhesive, it can still be used to permanently adhere the rubber mats. Double-sided carpet tape is a popular choice to adhere the tiles to the subfloor. When creating an island installation of the tiles, for example, adhering them to the subfloor works well to prevent movement of the island. However, if furniture or heavy exercise equipment will be placed on top of the island installation, there's no need for the adhesive, as the floor will be weighted down and won't slip.

Cutting rubber tiles For a wall-to-wall installation, a common utility knife with a fresh blade and a sturdy straight edge are all that are needed to cut the interlocking rubber mats at the edges or to go around obstacles to fit properly.

Many customers install this flooring with no help or with help from one person in a short amount of time - especially once they've gotten a feel for the installation process and have gotten into a rhythm.

2. No Slip, No Trip Interlocking Rubber Floor Tiles

The individual mats in our system feature tight-fitting seams. This feature of interlocking rubber floor tiles for home gym use works perfectly as those participating in the class or game won't trip over any exposed seams or uneven areas of the floor. And since the tight seams fit together perfectly, it eliminates concerns about debris collecting in the seams.

These tiles offer commercial-grade construction quality, and they feature a non-slip surface. Plus, the smooth slip-resistant rubber surface looks great.

3. Durable Rubber Interlocking Floors

Those seeking durable residential flooring for home gyms or playrooms in basements and garages will appreciate our interlocking rubber tiles. Be sure to read the customer reviews at the bottom of the page to learn why customers love having interlocking rubber floor tiles for home gyms.

When installing these interlocking rubber tiles in a home gym with free weights, 8 mm rubber tiles work great to protect the subfloor should a small free weight be dropped on the floor. For heavy free weights, at least a 1/2 inch thick rubber floor is recommended for better shock absorption.

These tiles are partially non-absorbent, which also helps them resist odors.

Be sure, however, not to use them in automotive areas, as automotive fluids are known to break down rubber materials.

These interlocking rubber mats are made completely in the United States and carry a five-year limited warranty.

4. Ease of Maintenance

Daily cleaning of the interlocking tiles works by simply sweeping or vacuuming it. Should a more extensive cleaning be needed, apply a neutral pH cleaner with hot water using a damp mop.

If the floor should become damaged, you can simply swap out the damaged tiles without having to replace the entire floor. Interlocking rubber floor tiles are easy to disassemble and move, should they need to relocate.

These rubber interlocking floor tiles consist of 85% post-consumer recycled rubber material, qualifying them for LEED points and reducing environmental concerns.

Disclaimer: Rubber tiles will expand and contract slightly, depending on whether the tiles receive exposure to varying temperatures, sunlight or humidity. Because of the changes in size of the tiles when exposed to sunlight, it's not recommended to install these tiles outdoors.

These tiles are waterjet cut from a 4 ft wide rolled rubber material that is skived from a cylinder core, which means that some tiles may have a slight curve to the tiles, all of the rubber tiles in a job should be installed with the same side down. If the tiles do not want to lay perfectly flat during initial installation, one option is to use a double-sided carpet tape in order to hold the tiles flat. Often waiting some time to allow the tiles to relax flat will also work.

Maintenance

Always use Neutral pH cleaner on rubber flooring. Damp mop with hot water, use two bucks to keep mop clean.
