The 17mm 3ft × 3ft mat is the established CrossFit standard — 80kg drop rated, 43 dB noise reduction in floor assembly, and the solo-manageable 14kg weight that makes laying a large CrossFit box floor a one-person job. The UK commercial standard for 20+ years.
Why These Tiles?
- ✅ 80kg drop rated — CrossFit functional training, kettlebell drops, controlled barbell work
- ✅ 43 dB noise reduction (in-house tested, floor assembly) — essential for CrossFit boxes in shared buildings
- ✅ 950 kg/m³ density — resists permanent compression under daily CrossFit loading
- ✅ EN 13893 slip certified — safe for dynamic lateral movements and high-intensity footwork
- ✅ ~14kg per mat — solo-manageable, one person can floor a full CrossFit box

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are 17mm mats rated for barbell drops in a CrossFit environment?
A: Yes — these 17mm rubber gym mats are rated for 80kg drops (in-house tested) and are built specifically for CrossFit environments where barbell cycling, Olympic lifts, and overhead drops are regular movements. At 950 kg/m³ density, they absorb and distribute impact more effectively than standard 16mm tiles.
Q: What size are the 17mm CrossFit mats and how much floor do they cover?
A: Each mat measures 915mm × 915mm (3ft × 3ft), covering approximately 0.84m² per mat. For a 20m² CrossFit training area, you'd need approximately 24 mats. The large 3ft format means fewer joins than smaller tile systems — useful in busy CrossFit boxes with lots of foot traffic across seams.
Q: How does the noise reduction compare to standard rubber tiles?
A: The 17mm mats have been tested to 43 dB noise reduction (in-house tested), providing excellent acoustic performance for CrossFit boxes in commercial buildings, mezzanine levels, or shared units. This is particularly valuable during intensive barbell cycling and Olympic lifting sessions.
Q: Are the 17mm mats EN 13893 certified — required for CrossFit box insurance?
A: Yes. EN 13893 slip resistance certification is standard on these mats, alongside CE marking. Most CrossFit box insurance policies and commercial lease agreements require certified slip-resistant flooring for any public-access fitness use. Certification documentation is available on request.
Q: What density are these mats — why does higher density matter for CrossFit?
A: At 950 kg/m³, these 17mm mats are denser than standard gym rubber tiles. Higher density means better impact distribution under barbell drops, greater resistance to permanent compression under rack legs, and a more stable surface during dynamic CrossFit movements. Lower-density rubber can 'dish' over time under heavy repeated impact.
Q: How do I clean 17mm rubber CrossFit mats in a high-sweat environment?
A: Sweep daily and mop regularly with a diluted gym disinfectant. The 950 kg/m³ dense rubber surface resists liquid absorption — sweat and chalk sit on the surface rather than penetrating. Avoid bleach or solvent-based cleaners. For deep cleaning between programming blocks, a rubber floor cleaner with neutral pH maintains the surface integrity.
