Rolled Rubber Flooring is the Best Flooring Option for Home Gyms. Robert Morris 03/28/2005 Rubber-Cal Inc. Products discussed in this article: Elephant Bark Rubber Flooring, Shark Tooth Mat, Eco-Sport Tiles, For home gym applications, rolled exercise mat products have many advantages over tile products. First, because tiled products are thicker than rolled products (where the thickness is limited because the product must be rolled up), rolls are less expensive to produce and ship. Second, since rolled products offer larger individual pieces, installation is simpler than with tiled products. These pieces cover a greater area, so rolled flooring ends up with less seams over the same area. Also, sizable pieces allow for the option of temporary installation. Third, rolled flooring products are more appropriate for areas where light to moderate traffic and periodic use are expected (i.e. home gyms). For the home gym, 1/4" thick material often provides sufficient floor protection and lifespan, without the high costs associated with thicker (therefore heavier) products. Therefore, for home gym applications rolled exercise mats are usually more suitable than tiles. Robert Morris Email: robert@rubbercal.com |
