Why Is Rolled Rubber So Popular For A Fencing Piste?

Related Product: Rubber Flooring Roll Geneva 3/8 Inch Black Per SF

When designing a fencing piste, the flooring has to be just right to support athletes while also being durable enough to withstand the use the playing area sees. That can be a lot to ask of any product, but a rubber fencing piste offers the optimal combination of these characteristics.

Why a Rubber Fencing Piste Works So Well

Creating a fencing piste can be complicated. The area’s dimensions are the first challenge.

Fencing piste length needs to be 14 meters long, while the width needs to be one to two meters wide. Those are unusual specifications for a flooring strip, and while some products are designed specifically for fencing piste use, they can be prohibitively expensive.

The second challenge comes in finding a flooring product that can protect both your athletes and your subfloor. The product needs to be highly durable, since this relatively small area will see plenty of use.



The flooring also needs to provide optimal traction, allowing athletes to move quickly and securely without slipping. It should also be a relatively forgiving surface that allows athletes to practice for extended periods of time.

Products like wood can be gouged and easily scraped up, but rubber flooring offers an ideal solution. Rubber rolls offer a continuous surface, so there’s no need to worry about seams and areas pulling up.

Rubber is also a more economical choice, so whether you’re creating a top-of-the-line piste intended for Olympic training or a training facility on a budget, chances are you can find a rubber product that works well for you.
