SPORTEC® Style Tile - Free-weights Flooring

SPORTEC® Style Tiles protect subfloors from damage by falling heavy objects such as dumbbells, barbells, Olympic discs and kettlebells, all commonly used in free weights areas in gyms. Conventional floors commonly offer little protection in this environment and long-term damage to the subfloor structure and gym equipment is a real possibility. SPORTEC Style Tiles are designed specifically to reduce this impact shock.

The tiles are simple to install and are loose-laid over the existing subfloor. Adjacent tiles are inter-locked with connector pins, creating a solid and stable platform for performing weight lifting exercises.

SPORTEC® Style Gym Tiles are available in thicknesses of 30 mm or 40 mm and in a variety of surface finishes and colours.

Can be combined with SPORTEC® Style Edge and Corner Profiles, which complement the Style Gym Tiles and provide a smooth and safe transition when entering or leaving the heavy weights area.

Made from ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber. EPDM is an excellent shock absorber. It compresses under load but springs back immediately. It absorbs energy and prevents weights from bouncing when dropped. To increase this effect, rubber underlay can be used so that the tiles compress into something soft.
