For large facilities where Olympic weightlifting takes place, or where heavy weights are regularly dropped, we suggest our 3/4'' thickness.

This style of high density rubber mat brings excellent protective qualities.

Styles

There are plenty of choices in terms of both color and style. The most economical option is confetti, which is manufactured from recycled tires. Scraps from other rolls and whitewalls from tires are also added to the batch. This creates a random and indiscriminate hodgepodge of color throughout the roll. For an area where protective flooring is required, but aesthetics are not a concern, confetti will be economical. Various models are also available with different color fleck concentrations. Choose from a wide variety of colors. Some products offer various percentages of colors, whereas others are only in black.

Alternatives to Rubberized Flooring

If looking for softness in a home gym or commercial installation, consider our high end EVA foam tiles. These are easy to install, though they don't offer the same durability of rubber gym flooring rolls and aren't recommended for use in high traffic areas or where athletes will be dropping significant weights.

Shipping depends on the specific product ordered and the quantity needed. Some will ship via ground service. Larger units ship with freight delivery.

FAQ Rubber Mats for Gym Q&A
