Challenge
easyGym is located on the upper level of a busy shopping plaza in the heart of London and required a robust flooring solution for the weightlifting area. This area of the gym is used for activities such as deadlifting, squatting and bench work using dumbells.
The solution would also need to help the gym co-exist comfortably within the surrounding retail environment.
Solution
To fulfil this requirement, TVS supplied impact-attenuating rubber floor tiles, made from a mixture of black recycled rubber bound together using a polyurethane resin with a coloured EPDM granule added to the wear layer.
This product was chosen as the highly resilient material offers substantial protection to the substrate and is particularly effective in busy weight training areas where dumbells are dropped frequently.
The interlocking tiles are simple to install and require little to no maintenance.
Outcome
The resulting floor covering offers good grip underfoot and the bright orange fleck also complements the company's striking corporate colour scheme.
