Rubber tiles can form part of a suitable gym floor. Suitability depends on the product, activity, subfloor and installation, rather than on rubber as a material alone.
Distinguish the loads
Walking between machines, setting a weight down and dropping it create different demands. Describe the expected activity in each area and request the proposed product’s specification. Flooring does not make every area suitable for dropping weights.
Check beneath the tile
The subfloor, levels, joints and edges affect the result. Check door thresholds and transitions before installation. Where noise or vibration is a concern, assess the floor assembly and building together.
Grip requires maintenance
Do not assume a wet surface cannot become slippery. Deal with spills, keep the floor clean and follow the product’s care instructions. A rubber tile does not guarantee injury prevention or medical suitability for an individual.
What to request in a quotation
Request the model, thickness, dimensions, colour, material composition, installation method and cleaning instructions. If the image represents a product family, request a sample of the chosen finish. EUROTEC can organise the selection by the room’s activity areas.
