Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much noise do these 30mm rubber tiles actually reduce?
A: These tiles achieve 85% noise reduction — independently tested. At 30mm thickness and 1,000+ kg/m³ density, the material mass and compression depth together absorb both impact sound (structure-borne noise) and airborne sound generated by barbell drops, weight plate clanking, and footfall.
Q: Why does tile thickness matter for noise reduction in gyms?
A: Noise reduction in rubber gym flooring is directly related to depth and density. A 30mm tile at 1,000+ kg/m³ provides significantly more mass and compression travel than a 15mm or 20mm tile — translating into measurably less noise transmitted through the floor structure to rooms below or adjacent.
Q: Are these tiles suitable for gyms above residential apartments or commercial units?
A: Yes — the 85% noise reduction specification makes these tiles appropriate for gyms in mixed-use buildings where noise management is a planning or lease condition. They are widely used in city-centre gym conversions, first-floor commercial units, and hotel gyms where impact noise is a tenant or neighbour concern.
Q: Can these noise-reducing tiles help with planning permission for a gym?
A: Acoustic performance documentation supports planning applications for change of use to gym in noise-sensitive locations. The EN 13893 certification and 85% noise reduction rating provide a basis for demonstrating adequate sound mitigation in planning submissions and building control assessments.
Q: Do these tiles reduce noise from gym equipment other than free weights?
A: Yes. The noise reduction spec covers impact and vibration across all gym equipment types — treadmill motor vibration, rowing machine impact, plyometric box jumps, and battle rope slams all generate lower transmitted noise through 30mm tiles versus thinner alternatives.
Q: How do I get the maximum noise reduction from these tiles?
A: For maximum acoustic performance: install tiles tightly with no gaps at joins, use perimeter adhesive to prevent edge lift, and consider adding a 5mm acoustic underlay beneath the tiles in the most impact-intensive zones such as deadlift areas. Rubber-to-concrete direct contact is effective; rubber over timber subfloor may require additional damping.
