Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are 17mm rubber mats better than 16mm for a heavy home garage gym?
A: For a garage gym with regular barbell training, heavy dumbbell work, and rack-based lifting, 17mm provides enhanced impact absorption and surface stability over 16mm. At 950 kg/m³ density and rated for 80kg drops (in-house tested), these 17mm mats handle the demands of serious home training more confidently than thinner alternatives.
Q: What size are the 17mm garage gym mats and how many do I need?
A: Each mat is 915mm × 915mm (3ft × 3ft), covering approximately 0.84m² per mat. For a 12m² garage gym area, you'd need approximately 15 mats. The 3ft format means a typical two-car garage gym floor can be covered with relatively few mats and minimal cutting.
Q: Will these mats protect a concrete garage floor from heavy weight drops?
A: Yes. The 80kg drop rating (in-house tested) and 950 kg/m³ density mean these mats absorb impact that would otherwise crack or chip a concrete subfloor. They also protect concrete from the abrasion and scoring caused by dragged weight plates and equipment.
Q: Do 17mm rubber mats reduce noise — will deadlifts disturb my household?
A: These 17mm mats provide 43 dB noise reduction (in-house tested). Combined with the 80kg drop rating impact absorption, deadlifts, rack work, and dumbbell drops are significantly quieter than bare concrete. For detached garages, this is usually sufficient. For integral garages attached to living spaces, an additional rubber acoustic underlay beneath the mats provides further isolation.
Q: Can these mats be laid over an existing garage rubber mat or floor?
A: Yes, provided the existing surface is flat, stable, and not significantly raised at the joins. The 17mm mats can be free-laid over existing vinyl, concrete, or flat rubber surfaces. Avoid laying over highly textured surfaces that may cause uneven support — this could affect the mat's flatness and stability during training.
Q: Are 17mm rubber mats safe in a cold, damp garage environment?
A: Yes. The rubber compound used in these 17mm mats is stable across the temperature range typical of UK garages and does not become brittle in cold conditions. EN 13893 slip resistance remains effective even in cooler, slightly humid garage environments common in UK winters.
