The SPORTEC® Style Gym Tile protects from damage by falling heavy objects such as dumbbells, barbells, Olympic discs and kettlebells, all commonly used in free weights areas in gyms. Conventional floors offer little protection in this environment and long-term damage to the gym flooring, subfloor structure and gym equipment is a real possibility.

The SPORTEC® Style Tiles are designed specifically to reduce this impact shock. The tiles are simple to install and are loose-laid over the existing subfloor.

Adjacent tiles are inter-locked with connector pins, creating a solid and stable platform for performing weight lifting exercises. The SPORTEC® Style Gym Tiles are available in thicknesses of 30mm or 40mm and in a variety of surface finishes and colours. In addition, the SPORTEC® Style Edge and Corner Profile are the perfect complement to the SPORTEC® Style Gym Tile and they provide a smooth and safe transition when entering or leaving the heavy weights area.

When Should I Choose Gym Flooring Tiles?

Gym flooring tiles should be used in free weight zones. They are thicker than rubber rolls and are designed to absorb a higher level of impact shock. They are 30mm to 40mm thick, and you can also get heavy-duty 80mm impact protection slabs for deadlift zones (these will  also be necessary underneath power racks).

Rubber floor tiles are made from EPDM rubber. EPDM is an excellent shock absorber. It compresses under load but springs back immediately. It absorbs energy and prevents weights from bouncing when dropped. To increase this effect, rubber underlay can be used so that the tiles compress into something soft.

Where Can Gym Flooring Tiles Be Used?

In addition to free weight zones, gym floor tiles can be used in functional fitness zones, machine zones, cardio zones and studios. It isn’t the best surface for pilates and yoga, but it can do a job (for these zones, you ideally want a harder surface).

Some of our customers choose to have floor tiles installed throughout their gym because it provides design cohesion. This is no problem. We can also install edge profiles with bevelled edges to make entering and leaving the gym easier.
