✔️ 1m² Per Tile — Commercial Coverage Rate  |  ✔️ EN 13893 Certified  |  ✔️ CE & REACH  |  ✔️ Blue/Black & White/Black

Professional-grade 12mm interlocking rubber gym tiles engineered for commercial fitness facilities, PT studios, group exercise studios, leisure centres and hotel gyms. At 1000mm × 1000mm (1m²) per tile, these are the fastest-laying commercial gym tile in our range — covering large floor areas quickly with minimal joins and a clean, professional finish.

Available in Blue/Black and White/Black colour-bordered formats, these tiles create a distinctive geometric grid pattern — the trademark look of professional fitness facilities — without the installation costs of custom flooring. EN 13893 slip certified, CE and REACH compliant, these tiles meet commercial premises safety requirements out of the box.

Thickness Specification Guide

Thickness	Commercial Specification	Load / Drop Rating
12mm ★ THIS TILE	Cardio floors, group studios, PT suites, hotel gyms, functional training	All cardio equipment; light dumbbells (<20kg controlled)

The 1m² Format — Commercial Installation Advantage

Most competitor tiles are 500mm × 500mm — requiring 4 tiles per m² and producing 4× more joins across the floor. At 1m² per tile, these reduce installation time and join count by 75%, directly cutting labour costs on large commercial installations.

Comparison	1m² Tiles (This Product)	500mm Tiles (Competitors)
Tiles per 100m²	100 tiles	400 tiles
Number of joins (100m²)	~180	~720
Installation time (2-person team, 100m²)	~3–4 hours	~6–8 hours
Visual joins across floor	Minimal	Dense grid pattern

Colour Border Options

Both colour options are identical in specification, material and price. Choose based on facility branding and interior design requirements:

• Blue/Black — Strong contrast border. Associates with performance and energy. Standard in CrossFit-influenced facilities and commercial gyms with dark colour schemes.
• White/Black — Clean, contemporary. Works with light-coloured facilities, modern studio aesthetics and facilities with white or grey branding.

The colour border is moulded through the interlocking edge — not painted or applied. Colour is permanent, does not fade under commercial daily use.

How Many Tiles for Your Facility?

Tile count = floor area in m² (add 10% for cuts). One tile = 1m².

Area	m²	Tiles (inc. 10%)
Small PT studio (4m × 5m)	20 m²	22 tiles
Medium studio (6m × 6m)	36 m²	40 tiles
Hotel gym (6m × 8m)	48 m²	53 tiles
Commercial cardio floor (8m × 10m)	80 m²	88 tiles
Large leisure centre zone (10m × 12m)	120 m²	132 tiles

Installation — Commercial Scale, No Contractor

1. Acclimatise: Leave tiles in the facility for 24h at 15°C+ before laying. Critical in spaces with significant temperature variation. Rubber expands at operating temperature — installing cold creates gaps.
2. Subfloor: Clean, dry and level (±3mm over 2m). Concrete, screed or timber. Sweep thoroughly — grit beneath tiles causes underside wear over time.
3. Layout planning: For large commercial areas, snap chalk lines to ensure straight rows. Start from the centre of the room or from a fixed reference wall. Plan colour border alignment before laying begins.
4. Connect tiles: Press puzzle edges firmly together. At 12kg per tile, the weight holds position. Work row by row. A two-person team can lay approximately 50m² per hour.
5. Cut perimeter: Score firmly with a sharp Stanley knife and steel straight edge. At 12mm, cuts are clean and fast. Jigsaw for curved cuts around columns or obstacles.
6. Safety ramp edges: Fit at all exposed perimeter edges. At 12mm transition height, ramped edges are required for commercial H&S compliance.

Maintenance — Commercial Schedule

• Daily: Sweep or vacuum between sessions. Remove debris and grit that acts as an abrasive under equipment.
• After each session: Quick mop with pH-neutral commercial gym cleaner. Non-porous rubber surface cleans in one pass.
• Weekly deep clean: Damp mop with diluted commercial disinfectant. Allow to dry before use.
• Quarterly: Lift random tiles and clean beneath. Sweat and moisture accumulate under tiles over time in busy commercial environments.
• Do not use: Bleach, solvent-based cleaners, steam mops, abrasive pads.

Frequently Asked Questions — 12mm Commercial Rubber Gym Tiles

Q: Are 12mm rubber tiles suitable for commercial cardio floors?
A: Yes — 12mm is the standard commercial specification for cardio zones, group exercise studios and functional training floors where heavy barbell drops are not required. EN 13893 slip certification and CE/REACH compliance satisfy commercial premises requirements.

Q: What's the advantage of 1m² tiles over 500mm tiles for commercial installation?
A: 75% fewer tiles to lay, 75% fewer joins across the floor, and significantly faster installation — a 2-person team can cover 100m² in 3–4 hours vs 6–8 hours with 500mm tiles. Lower joins also means fewer potential trip points and a cleaner professional finish.

Q: Do the colour borders meet commercial durability requirements?
A: Yes. The Blue or White border is moulded through the interlocking edge, not painted on. It does not fade, chip or peel under commercial daily use including high foot traffic, equipment movement and regular cleaning with commercial gym products.

Q: Can these tiles be used on an upper-floor commercial facility?
A: Yes. 12mm SBR rubber provides effective vibration and noise dampening from cardio equipment. For facilities above ground floor, we recommend anti-vibration feet under treadmills and heavy machines to further reduce impact transmitted to the structure below.

Q: What is the recommended thickness for a mixed commercial gym floor?
A: Zone by thickness — 12mm for cardio and studio areas, 16mm for general weights and dumbbell zones, 20mm for heavy free weights areas, 30mm for Olympic lifting platforms. This approach optimises protection where needed while controlling material cost across the total floor area.

Q: Do you offer trade pricing for commercial orders?
A: Yes. We supply commercial facilities at trade pricing. Send your floor plan and dimensions for a quote within 24 hours. Bulk palletised delivery is available for orders over 50m². Contact us via the website or call for immediate assistance.

Q: Can these tiles be installed over existing flooring?
A: Yes — over hard, flat existing surfaces (concrete, timber, existing hard flooring). The subfloor must be level within ±3mm over 2m. Do not install over carpet or compressible surfaces.
