Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of these 17mm interlocking gym tiles?
A: Each tile measures 915mm × 915mm (3ft × 3ft), covering approximately 0.84m² per mat. This 3ft × 3ft format is a popular size for home gym and studio installations as it aligns with common room dimensions and allows efficient layouts without excessive cutting. The 17mm thickness provides robust cushioning for light to moderate training activities.
Q: How much weight can these 17mm tiles support?
A: These tiles are rated for an 80kg drop load, which is suitable for standard fitness equipment, kettlebells, dumbbells, and bodyweight training. They meet EN 13893 standards for slip resistance and are CE and REACH certified. For very heavy barbell drops or power lifting applications, our 20mm tiles with 400kg/m² static load rating would be more appropriate.
Q: Are these tiles truly interlocking and how do they connect?
A: Yes. These tiles feature precision interlocking edges that connect together to create a stable, seamless mat surface without adhesive or fixings. The interlocking system prevents tiles from separating under training loads and allows the floor to flex slightly for impact absorption. Tiles can be disassembled and repositioned if you need to move or reconfigure your gym.
Q: How many tiles do I need to cover a 3m × 3m home gym area?
A: Each tile covers approximately 0.84m² (0.915m × 0.915m). To cover a 3m × 3m area (9m²), you would need approximately 11 tiles, allowing for edge cuts. It is advisable to purchase 1–2 additional tiles to account for any cutting waste or future replacements. Our product page includes a tile calculator to help you plan your order.
Q: Do these tiles comply with UK and European safety standards?
A: Yes. These tiles meet EN 13893 slip resistance standards and carry CE marking confirming compliance with European safety requirements. They are also REACH compliant, meaning they are free from restricted chemical substances. With a density of approximately 950 kg/m³, they are solidly constructed for durable everyday use.
Q: Can I use these tiles in a yoga or Pilates studio as well as a weights area?
A: Yes. The 17mm thickness provides gentle cushioning suitable for yoga, Pilates, stretching, and low-impact exercise, while also offering adequate protection for light weight training, kettlebell work, and bodyweight exercises. The smooth-textured surface is comfortable underfoot without being overly soft, making these tiles versatile enough for multi-discipline studios.
