Discover the bestΒ gym flooring, gym mats and rubber matsΒ in AustraliaΒ
Hunting for the perfectΒ gym flooring for your home or commercial gym?Β Our commercial 15mm gym flooring are some of the best value flooringsΒ in Australia.
We recommend rubber gym flooring that is at least 15mm thick. This will provide enough shock absorption to protect your floor from dropping weights and general punishment. Our 1mx1m tiles weigh 12kg, so they wonβt shift while you work out. Thicker flooring will provide more protection, but it gets expensive very quickly. Consider investing in a lifting platform if you think you will be training movements that require you to drop heavy weights from a height (such as Olympic lifts).
How to install gym flooring?Β
- Prepare the subfloor: Ensure that the subfloor is clean, dry, and level. If necessary, use a self-levelling compound to level the subfloor.
- Acclimate the rubber flooring: Allow the gym rubber flooring to acclimate to the room temperature and humidity for at least 24 hours before installation.
- Measure and cut the flooring: Measure the length and width of the room and then cut the rubber flooring to fit the space using a straight edge and utility knife.
- Install the flooring: Starting from one corner of the room, apply a urethane-based adhesive to the subfloor and lay the first piece of rubber flooring. Continue to install the flooring, making sure to butt the edges tightly together.
- Trim the edges: Once the rubber flooring is fully installed, use a straight edge and utility knife to trim the excess flooring from the edges of the room.
- Roll the flooring: Use a weighted roller to roll over the entire surface of the rubber flooring, ensuring that it is firmly adhered to the subfloor.
- Allow to cure: Allow the adhesive to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions before using the gym rubber flooring.
Note that the exact installation process may vary depending on the specific type of gym rubber flooring and the manufacturer's instructions. It's important to carefully read and follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper installation and performance of the flooring.
