This product can be used for home gyms, workout rooms, industrial applications, rooftop flooring, storage rooms and even ammunition rooms. Our flooring sheets are made with recycled material which makes for a more environmentally-friendly product. All rubber sold by Greatmats.com is manufactured in the USA.
Rolled rubber is an especially popular option for gym floor covering, as well as weight room areas in both homes and schools. For gyms, we carry rubber in both 1/4 and 1/2 inch thicknesses, in a choice of pure black or black with color flecks in many percentage options, up to 90% color fleck is available with custom ordered product. Custom colors and color fleck mixes are available with a minimum number of rolls ordered.
Sheet rubber is a safe and practical option for weight rooms. Recycled rubber is great for protecting floors from free weights and exercise equipment such as treadmills and weight benches. Our rolls are stocked in 4 foot widths and is pre-cut in the standard lengths of 25 and 50 feet. If given 1-2 weeks advance notice before expected shipment date, custom cut lengths are also available.
Rolls of rubber are a lower cost flooring option when compared to interlocking tiles. It is perfect for commercial, residential or school gyms because it acts as a sound dampener as well as a floor protector.
Installation is relatively quick and easy. Make sure to lay the sheets over a clean, hard surface such as concrete or ceramic tile. For standard wall-to-wall installation, simply roll out the rubber and cut to fit the size of the room with a utility knife. The ends of the rolls are not cut square and will require trimming during the installation process. Our rubber sheets are precision cut on their sides at the factory to ensure that they fit seamlessly next to one another. The rolls can be installed using either double-sided tape or adhesive to attach to a clean, hard flooring surface. Rubber rolls can also be installed without an adhesive or tape, but should be taped at the perimeters and seams to prevent overlapping or sliding of the rolled rubber. For small home installations with less anticipated traffic, tape down installation may not be necessary for the sheet rubber. For installations of more than 1,000 square feet, a full glue down installation is strongly recommended. This is particularly important when climate conditions may fluctuate, as this can lead to slight movement of the rubber. When gluing down the rolls, make sure to use a full spread glue application method, which covers the entire floor surface on which the flooring be laid.
When deciding where to place your flooring, choose an area where it is not subject to continual moisture or dampness, for non-vulcanized rubber is a material that will allow water to permeate it over time. If continually submerged in water or frequently power washed, the small amounts of water will start to works its way into the tiny pores of the surface over time.
