Why Choose 17mm Over Standard 20mm Tiles?
The 17mm thickness strikes the ideal balance between shock absorption and stability. Thinner than 20mm tiles, the lower profile reduces trip hazard on gym edges while still offering excellent impact protection for barbell drops and heavy lifts. The larger 900mm format means fewer joins, a cleaner look, and up to 3x faster installation versus standard 500mm tiles.
