Rubber Puzzle Flooring

Options for Rubber Puzzle Flooring

Rubber flooring is a popular selection for exercise and fitness spaces, offering durability, traction, water resistance, protection for the subfloor, and a cushioned surface. However, rubber rolls and large matting can be quite heavy. If weight is a concern, consider rubber puzzle flooring from Greatmats.

Our puzzle-piece floor mats give you the same benefits as other rubber flooring formats in a smaller option that’s easier for a DIY installation. Customers like our rubber flooring options for a variety of reasons, but they love our rubber puzzle flooring because of how easy it is to assemble to fit their exact needs.

Options for Rubber Puzzle Mat Flooring

Rubber Puzzle Flooring Q&A

How do you install gym puzzle mats?

To install gym puzzle mats, just start in a corner of the room or island layout. Add interlocking border pieces for a flat edge. Then attach pieces outward from the corner until reaching the far walls and corners. Cut the tiles to fit if necessary.

Are rubber puzzle tiles good for gyms?

Yes, rubber puzzle tiles are good for gymnasiums. They’re smaller and easier to handle than heavy rolls of rubber. If you want thicker rubber mat puzzle flooring to protect the subfloor from damage, the ability to carry and move the individual pieces becomes an even bigger advantage. Thick rubber rolls are extremely heavy. Additionally, waterproof puzzle floor mats protect the subfloor from water damage from spilled water bottles or sweat.

What is a gym puzzle mat?

A gym puzzle mat is similar to square tiles of flooring, but they have jigsaw puzzle-style edges that lock together securely without needing adhesive. You can assemble and disassemble the puzzle piece flooring quickly. Gym rubber puzzle piece flooring is extremely durable, while making rubber flooring more manageable for use in a home gym because of the size per piece.

How do you install interlocking rubber floor tiles on concrete?

To install interlocking rubber tiles on concrete without border pieces, start in the center of the room and work your way outward. You’d then cut the edges off the puzzle rubber flooring when you reach the walls to create a straight edge for a secure fit. If you do have border pieces available, start in a corner of the room and work outward.
