Rubber Flooring

There are many circumstances where the usual line of flooring products simply won’t suffice. In situations such as this, extra durability and safety may be needed. Hardwood floors are prone to scratches from abrasion, and may also be too slick in some cases. Carpet frequently does not give the traction and shock absorption needed. Sports facilities such as gyms, ice rinks, and tracks commonly demand a higher level of reliability from their flooring. Rubber flooring is a an affordable solution to this problem, as it provides all of the needed properties for an affordable price.

Rubber flooring is durable and flexible, providing the tough reactive surface that is needed. A rubber floor can take up the weight of a falling dumbbell, while also staying level while supporting a heavy weight machine. A high quality rubber floor will not tear or rip under pressure. Rubber flooring is very simple to lay down, as it is usually sold as a set of tiles that fit together neatly. These interlocking tiles are simple to fit together, and do not require any high strength toxic glues. This makes rubber flooring a safer option, especially when recycled rubber is used in its construction.

Rubber sold as gym flooring commonly has a great traction surface that prevents any dangerous tendency to slip. The antislip surface is usually double sided, ensuring that the flooring will not move suddenly, or allow someone on it to fall. This is essential in a sports facility, where safety is of great concern. Rubber flooring will absorb the shock and noise of a falling weight, where concrete and hardwood would crack and suffer permanent damage.

Commercial Mats and Rubber is a large manufacturer of rubber flooring, specifically engineered for use in sports facilities. Their Diamond Mega Tiles are suited for sports facilities, and provide excellent safety against falling weights, as well as a high traction surface on both sides. Diamond Tiles are made with an interlocking design, making them exceedingly easy to put down. The Diamond Tiles are available in a wide range of colors and textures. The tiles are produced with high strength rubber that remains intact under great pressure, but remain firmly in place as they must.

Gym Flooring

Gym flooring must be resilient enough to remain rigid under great pressure. 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 specifically to fit these needs. The best gym flooring will keep 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 cancel noise, while also remaining rigid under very large loads. Better yet, Diamond Mega Plates are solid 4×4 tiles that fit together easily, requiring no adhesives in order to install. The Diamond Mega Plates interlock together rigidly without any need for glue. 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 pressure.

Commercial Mats and Rubber’s Best Flex Flooring is another great option 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 products must be safe and durable.
