Setting up at home? See all home gym equipment

Plan gym flooring by the activities in each area, the existing subfloor and the room's dimensions. Solid Strength's range includes rubber tiles and rolls, turf, jigsaw mats, lifting platforms and drop mats. These formats serve different layouts, so compare their intended uses before choosing a finish.

Match the floor format to the area

Draw the room and mark where equipment, movement areas and doorways will sit. Tiles, rolls and turf create different joins and cutting requirements. Separate lifting platforms and drop mats should be assessed for their specific use rather than assumed to replace flooring across an entire room.

  • Compare each product's stated thickness, dimensions and coverage
  • Check installation instructions and suitability for the existing subfloor
  • Consider surface finish, cleaning guidance and transitions between areas

Calculate quantities and finished levels

Measure the usable area carefully, then plan the layout of full pieces and cuts. Account for corners, columns and irregular edges instead of ordering from floor area alone. Check door clearance and changes in finished floor height. Transition strips must match the selected thickness and layout. If the room has special acoustic, structural or building requirements, obtain advice for that installation rather than treating a flooring thickness as a guarantee.

Frequently asked questions

How many rubber flooring tiles do I need?

Use the stated coverage of the exact tile, then map the room dimensions to its layout. Allow for cuts and unusable offcuts where necessary. Check how many tiles or square metres each order unit represents.

Will thicker gym flooring make the room soundproof?

Do not assume that thickness alone establishes sound isolation. Results depend on the building, subfloor, installation and activity. Review the flooring's stated purpose and seek advice for any specific noise or structural requirement before buying.
