Using rubber flooring, just like what you see in commercial gyms! Sarah Bereiter 11/11/05 Rubber-Cal Inc. Products discussed in this article: Elephant Bark Rolled Flooring, Eco-Sport Tiles, Shark Tooth Mats If you've decided to migrate from commercial gyms to a home gym, I'm sure that you have quickly realized that you are going to need some kind of flooring to protect your existing surface, whether it be carpet or concrete. Using rubber flooring (just like what you see in commercial gyms) will not only protect your floors, but will supply a certain amount of 'give' that is favorable in workout environments. Aesthetically, rubber flooring can also provide a sleek, finished look making your gym look more like a professional gym. Because rubber has a natural 'bouncy' quality, it absorbs impacts from weights and machines. Rubber absorbs impacts, vibration, noise, etc. and spreads it throughout the area of a mat or floor, instead of it being concentrated in one area and therefore causing damage to that area. Carpet and concrete can easily be chipped or damaged by hitting the floor. Likewise, your weights may be chipped or damaged by hitting the floor. By creating a rubber barrier, you save both your weight's and your floor from abuse and unnecessary damage. Rubber-Cal offers a variety of options for Rubber Flooring and Rubber Mats to be utilized in home and commercial gyms. For home gyms, we recommend our Elephant Bark. Because this product is a rolled rubber flooring it is exceedingly simple to install. Though this product doesn't have any interlocking features, adhesive is rarely necessary for home applications. In fact, usually the weight of the product along with some double-sided carpet tape is enough to hold it in place. |
