Sound Deadening Mats & Tiles For Gyms

Options for Sound Deadening Mats and Tiles for Gyms

When you want to cut down on noise in a fitness center, at-home workout room, weightlifting space, or commercial gym, sound deadening mats are a smart choice. They cut down on the impact of vibration and sound from heavy weights hitting the floor or from exercise machines.

Greatmats carries many types of sound dampening floor tiles. This isn’t a soundproof floor mat or a noise-canceling pad for the floor, but it greatly cuts down on noise that you may notice from the clanging weights and other gym equipment.

Types of Sound Dampening Floor Mats

We offer two types of sound dampening floor mats.

• Thick rubber tiles: Thick rubber tiles don’t quite qualify as soundproof rubber flooring, but these sound-deadening mats come close, especially when you select models that are 2 inches thick or thicker.
  
• Turf tiles with a thick rubber base: If you prefer the look of artificial turf in your gym, consider our tiles with a turf top layer and thick rubber base layer.
