PVC Flooring

However, PVC tiles are not a good shock absorber, expensive, and are easily damaged.

Turf (Synthetic Grass) Flooring

Turf tiles are made of PP or PE plastics. They are quite pleasing to the eyes, can absorb shock adequately, and are durable. But this type of flooring can be costly, needs a qualified installer, and doesn’t offer sub-floor protection.

Rubber Flooring

Just like PVC, rubber tiles are suitable for all kinds of gyms. They are usually made of natural rubber trees or recycled rubber. Rubber flooring is quite more affordable than other types of flooring. They are also durable, easy to install, have a good shock-absorbing ability, and can resist damage.

But your space can get a rubber smell if rubber flooring is newly installed. Another downside is, they don’t provide good insulation for your space.

Carpet Flooring

Carpet flooring is good for your reception area at the gym and spaces where there will not be weights. They are usually made of nylon, polyester, or wool fibers.

Carpets can absorb shock quite well and are affordable. But they need to be replaced after a year or two. 

They absorb moisture and as such will give off a pungent smell and can also be a cause for various skin infections. They also don’t protect your concrete floor beneath.

Cork Flooring

Made of tree barks, cork flooring is eco-friendly, affordable, and provides good protection for your floor and users. That’s why they are suitable for medium-sized gyms. However, just like any organic material, they don’t last long and can get damaged quite easily.

Do I need an installer for commercial gym flooring tiles?

It depends on the type of tile and the amount of time you have.

For rubber tiles, they can be easily installed by a non-professional like you and your staff. But for vinyl and turf tiles, you need a qualified installer to do the job.

Likewise, smaller spaces for rubber tiles are a do-it-yourself work. But for larger areas, you might need others for that.

Should I use adhesives for installing commercial gym flooring tiles?

It’s better to use adhesives when installing flooring tiles but it’s not a requirement. 

Floor tiles though with meshed edges can still come off after some time. So, it is recommended to use adhesives to keep it in place for a long time.

Underlays are optional but they can help in the durability of your gym floor tiles. Underlays give protection to your concrete floor, increase the shock and noise absorption ability of the floor tiles and their durability.

But be sure that the underlay you purchase is compatible with your floor tiles.

Can commercial gym flooring tiles help in soundproofing?

Soundproofing capabilities will depend on the type of tile you’d want to install. Rubber tiles are the best for noise reduction. 

Generally, the thicker the rubber tile is the more soundproofing qualities it has. And adding an underlay will boost the soundproofing of your rubber tiles.

What does temperature do in commercial gym flooring tiles?

Rubber tiles will swell or tighten depending on the temperature of your gym space. 

To prevent your tiles from being damaged because of this, just let them expand under room temperature without fixing them with glue. Then put adhesive after three days. 

You can also space the tiles 1/8 in from each other so that each tile has room for expanding and contracting.
