17mm Heavy-Duty Interlocking Rubber Gym Mats

Built for Real Weight. Not Soft Foam.

Used in commercial gyms • Won't curl • Won't crack • Free UK delivery

3ft × 3ft · 17mm thickness · Commercial grade

Engineered for facilities and serious training environments where performance and durability are non-negotiable.

Why This Specification

17mm Impact Protection

Absorbs and dissipates energy from dropped Olympic weights and plyometric movements. Protects subfloor integrity and reduces structural transmission.

Interlocking Stability

Precision-engineered edges create a unified surface without adhesive. Tiles remain locked during dynamic movements yet allow individual replacement.

3ft Format Efficiency

0.84m² coverage per tile reduces installation time and minimizes seams. Large enough for efficiency, manageable for single-person handling.

High-Density Compound

950+ kg/m³ recycled rubber matrix resists compression set and maintains surface integrity under sustained loading and repeated impact.

Product Engineering

Material Composition

High-density recycled rubber compound vulcanized under controlled temperature and pressure. The manufacturing process creates a homogeneous matrix that resists delamination and maintains consistent performance characteristics across the tile surface.

Surface Architecture

Textured profile engineered for consistent coefficient of friction across wet and dry conditions. Surface pattern provides mechanical grip without compromising cleanability or creating debris traps.

Interlocking Mechanism

Precision-cut edges create positive mechanical connection between tiles. The interlocking geometry distributes lateral forces across multiple tiles, preventing individual tile movement during dynamic training activities.

Thickness Rationale

17mm represents optimal balance between impact attenuation and equipment stability. Sufficient depth to protect subfloor from dropped weights while maintaining low enough profile for door clearances and equipment leveling in standard ceiling heights.

Application Environments

CrossFit Facilities

Drop zones, Olympic lifting platforms, and multi-use training areas. Withstands repeated barbell drops, box jumps, and high-traffic movement patterns typical of functional fitness programming.

Commercial Weight Rooms

Free weight zones, power rack areas, and strength training facilities. Suitable for continuous commercial use with multiple simultaneous users and heavy equipment loading.

Residential Installations

Garage conversions, basement facilities, and dedicated home gym spaces. Provides commercial-grade performance in residential settings where equipment protection and noise reduction are priorities.

Functional Training Zones

Plyometric areas, kettlebell zones, and bodyweight training spaces. Surface stability supports dynamic movements while impact protection extends facility lifespan.

Residential vs Commercial: This specification is engineered for commercial facilities but performs equally in residential applications. The material properties, thickness, and construction do not change based on installation environment.

Material Performance

Why 17mm Thickness

17mm has become the de facto standard for CrossFit and functional training facilities globally. This thickness provides sufficient impact attenuation for dropped Olympic weights while maintaining equipment stability and manageable door clearances in standard ceiling heights.

Compression Resistance

High-density rubber matrix resists permanent deformation under sustained loading. The material returns to original thickness after impact, maintaining consistent surface height and equipment leveling over time.

Acoustic Performance

17mm depth significantly reduces sound transmission through floor assemblies. Critical for multi-tenant buildings, residential conversions, and facilities with noise restrictions.

Longevity Expectations

In commercial CrossFit facilities with 100+ daily users, properly installed 17mm interlocking mats typically maintain structural integrity for 5-7 years. Residential installations with lower traffic volumes can expect significantly longer service life. Individual damaged tiles can be replaced without disturbing the entire floor.

Thickness Selection Guide

12mm	Cardio zones, stretching areas	Light duty
15-17mm	CrossFit, functional training, weight rooms	Commercial grade
20mm+	Dedicated Olympic lifting platforms	Maximum

Installation Protocol

Subfloor Requirements

Surface must be clean, dry, and level within 3mm over 3m. Remove debris, oil, and loose material. Concrete subfloors should be fully cured (minimum 28 days). Wood subfloors must be structurally sound with no deflection under load.

Installation Sequence

Acclimate tiles to installation environment for 24 hours
Plan layout to minimize cuts and optimize tile placement
Begin installation from most visible corner
Connect interlocking edges with firm downward pressure
Work row by row, ensuring tight connections
Cut edge tiles using sharp utility knife or jigsaw
Allow 24 hours before heavy equipment loading

Cutting and Trimming

Mark cut lines on tile surface. Use sharp utility knife for straight cuts, jigsaw for curves or complex shapes. Cut from top surface to prevent edge tearing. Rubber cuts cleanly when blade is sharp.

Adhesive Considerations

Interlocking design eliminates adhesive requirement for most installations. For permanent installations or high-movement areas, polyurethane-based flooring adhesive can be applied to perimeter tiles. Full adhesive coverage is not recommended as it prevents individual tile replacement.

Maintenance Requirements

Daily Maintenance

Sweep or vacuum to remove chalk, dirt, and debris. High-traffic commercial facilities should perform daily cleaning to prevent abrasive particle accumulation.

Weekly Cleaning

Damp mop with neutral pH cleaner diluted per manufacturer instructions. Avoid excessive water. Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaning tools that can degrade rubber compound.

Periodic Inspection

Inspect tiles quarterly for wear patterns, edge damage, or separation. Replace individual damaged tiles as needed. Check interlocking connections in high-traffic areas and reconnect if separation has occurred.

Limitations

Rubber is susceptible to degradation from petroleum-based products, strong solvents, and prolonged UV exposure. Avoid contact with motor oil, gasoline, and harsh chemicals. Not recommended for fully exposed outdoor installations without UV protection.

Technical Questions

What subfloor preparation is required?

Subfloor must be clean, dry, and level within 3mm over 3m. Remove all debris, oil, and loose material. Concrete should be fully cured (28+ days). Wood subfloors must be structurally sound with no deflection. No additional underlayment is required.

Can these be installed over existing flooring?

Yes, provided the existing surface is hard, level, and structurally sound. Suitable over concrete, wood, tile, and vinyl. Not recommended over carpet or cushioned surfaces as this will compromise stability and impact protection.

How many tiles are required for my space?

Divide your floor area in m² by 0.84 to determine tile quantity. For example, a 20m² space requires 24 tiles. Add 2-4 tiles for edge cuts and future replacement inventory. For irregular spaces, create a scale drawing to optimize layout.

Will 17mm protect my floor from dropped Olympic weights?

Yes. 17mm thickness provides commercial-grade impact protection for dropped Olympic weights from overhead positions. The rubber absorbs and dissipates impact energy, protecting subfloor integrity. For dedicated Olympic lifting platforms with consistent heavy drops from maximum heights, 20mm+ thickness may be specified.

Do I need adhesive for installation?

No. The interlocking mechanism creates a stable, unified surface without adhesive. Tiles remain connected during training activities. Adhesive can be applied to perimeter tiles for permanent installations but is not required for functional performance.

Can individual tiles be replaced if damaged?

Yes. Disconnect surrounding tiles, remove damaged tile, and install replacement. This is a primary advantage of interlocking tile format versus roll flooring. Maintain 2-4 spare tiles for future replacement needs.

What is the expected service life?

In commercial CrossFit facilities with 100+ daily users, expect 5-7 years of service life before replacement is required. Residential installations with lower traffic can expect 10+ years. Service life depends on usage intensity, maintenance practices, and installation quality.

Are these suitable for outdoor use?

Suitable for covered outdoor areas with protection from direct UV exposure and standing water. Not recommended for fully exposed outdoor installations as prolonged UV exposure degrades rubber compound. For outdoor applications, specify UV-resistant formulations.

What door clearance is required?

17mm thickness plus subfloor height. Standard interior doors typically have 19-25mm clearance. Measure existing clearance before ordering. Doors may require trimming or removal during installation.

How do I clean and maintain the surface?

Daily: sweep or vacuum. Weekly: damp mop with neutral pH cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, and excessive water. Do not use petroleum-based products. Inspect quarterly and replace damaged tiles as needed.
