Not as Common, but There are Gym Reflooring Projects Out There

Gym flooring must be flexible and tough to withstand the demands of heavy weight and high impact seen every day in sports facilities. Gym flooring should be able to absorb an impact, while also remaining rigid enough to remain stable under heavy loads. This is a demanding situation for most flooring products, but there are many rubber flooring products manufactured with just these needs in mind. The best gym flooring will provide a level surface, but also be able to muffle the sound of a falling weight.

Commercial Mats and Rubber is a large manufacturer of gym flooring, with many products designed for sports facilities. Commercial Mats and Rubber’s Diamond Mega Plate tiles are engineered to work in tough conditions and absorb noise, while also remaining rigid under extremely heavy loads. Better yet, Diamond Mega Plates are solid 4×4 tiles that fit together easily, requiring no toxic glue or chemicals in order to install. The Diamond Mega Plates should remain perfectly in place without any need for adhesives. The rubber used in the construction of the Diamond Mega Plates is designed to remain intact under very heavy weight, and will not tear or fray under these loads.

Commercial Mats and Rubber’s Best Flex Flooring is another excellent avenue for gym flooring. The Best Flex flooring is designed to hold up to heavy loads without ripping or tearing. The product is also available in a wide variety of colors and textures. Just like the Diamond Mega Plate, the Best Flex flooring fits together without need for glue, and simply locks together. In addition to its toughness, both flooring types are given a great traction surface that prevents slipping. This makes Best Flex perfect for gyms, where flooring that is tough, safe, and appealing must be used.

For those on a tighter budget, Commercial Mats and Rubber sells the Gym Dandy flooring solution. Gym Dandy provides an anti-slip surface that is easy to clean and fire retardant, but also easier on the wallet. Commercial Rubber is holding a sale at the moment on colored texture tiles, making them a more affordable option for some buyers. The overstock sale makes 3/8″ interlocking fleck color tiles available for $10.99 per tile before shipping. The tiles are very simple to lay down and require no toxic or flammable adhesives. This provides a great surface that is both healthy and environmentally friendly.
