How to Choose the Best Rubber Floor Tiles for Your Gym

Whether you’re shopping for rubber floor tiles for your home or commercial gym, it’s important to select a product that works well for your space, your budget, and your goals. As you shop for

Think About How You’ll Use Your Gym

As you plan your gym, think about how you will use the space. For example, a commercial gym that will see intense use seven days a week will require a more durable flooring than your home gym that’s used by just a few family members five times a week.



Consider the types of activities that the floor will need to support, too. If you will be doing exercises like jumping jacks and planks in the space, then it’s important to choose a tile that offers appropriate traction to help prevent slips. Most tiles are strong enough to withstand the weight of gym equipment like treadmills, but if you’ll be dropping free weights in the gym, you’ll need to invest in a tile with enough thickness to absorb that impact and protect your subfloor.

As you identify your gym activities, think not only about how you’re using the gym now, but also about how you might want to use it in the future. You might not be dropping free weights at the moment, but purchasing floor tiles that are thick and durable enough will allow you to introduce free weights into your workouts in the future.

Choose the Right Thickness

When it comes to the tile thickness, it’s always better to invest in a thicker tile than you need. A thicker tile will give your subfloor extra protection, and can also offer enhanced sound and shock absorption, making the space more enjoyable for your workouts.

Rubber floor tiles that are ¼ inch thick are suitable for free weights up to 50 pounds. If you want to lift more, then consider a ⅜ inch tile, which is suitable for free weights up to 120 pounds, or a ⅓ inch tile for free weights over 120 pounds. For dropped weights, plan on tiles measuring at least ¾ inches thick.

Consider the Installation

Think about the installation that the product requires, too. Many interlocking tiles suitable for home gym use require no adhesive, making for a DIY-friendly installation.

As you explore the larger, thicker tiles often used in commercial gyms, you may need to plan for a professional installation with adhesive. Be sure to factor this expense into your overall flooring budget.
