30mm Rubber Gym Tiles – The UK's Premium Commercial-Grade Gym Flooring Solution
Looking for the ultimate floor protection for your gym? Our 30mm rubber gym tiles are the professional's choice for Olympic lifting platforms, CrossFit boxes, powerlifting zones, and commercial weight rooms across the UK. With industry-leading shock absorption and noise reduction, these extra-thick tiles protect your floors, equipment, and investment.
Why 30mm Thickness is Essential for Serious Training
The 30mm thickness isn't just a specification – it's the minimum professional standard for facilities handling Olympic barbells, heavy dumbbells, and explosive movements. Here's why UK gym owners, CrossFit coaches, and strength athletes choose 30mm over thinner alternatives:
- Maximum Impact Protection: Absorbs the shock from dropped Olympic barbells (up to 200kg+) without damaging your subfloor or concrete base
- Superior Noise Dampening: Reduces impact noise by up to 80% compared to 15mm tiles – essential for residential areas, multi-storey buildings, and noise-sensitive environments
- Equipment Longevity: Cushions dropped weights, extending the life of your barbells, bumper plates, and dumbbells
- Zero Compression: High-density rubber maintains its 30mm thickness even under years of heavy use – won't flatten or deteriorate like cheaper alternatives
- Professional Standard: Used in British Weightlifting facilities, professional CrossFit affiliates, and elite strength training centres nationwide

Perfect Applications for 30mm Rubber Gym Tiles
Commercial Gyms & Fitness Centres
Protect your investment in high-traffic free-weight zones, deadlift platforms, and functional training areas. The 30mm thickness handles hundreds of daily lifts without showing wear, maintaining a professional appearance year after year.
CrossFit Boxes & Functional Training Studios
Built for the punishment of daily WODs, barbell cycling, and box jumps. The superior shock absorption protects your floor during high-rep Olympic lifting sessions, whilst the non-slip surface keeps athletes safe during metcons.
Olympic Weightlifting Platforms
Meet competition standards with flooring that can handle maximum lifts. Whether you're coaching beginners or elite lifters, 30mm tiles provide the cushioning and stability required for clean & jerks, snatches, and heavy squats.
Powerlifting & Strongman Facilities
Designed for the heaviest loads. Deadlift platforms, atlas stone areas, and yoke walks demand flooring that won't crack, compress, or fail. Our 30mm tiles are tested to withstand 300kg+ impacts repeatedly.
Home Gyms & Garage Conversions
Serious home lifters need serious flooring. If you're training with Olympic barbells, heavy dumbbells, or powerlifting equipment, 30mm tiles protect your concrete floor and reduce noise complaints from family or neighbours.

Installation Guide – Professional Results in Hours
Step 1: Prepare Your Surface
Ensure your subfloor is clean, dry, and level. Sweep away debris and check for moisture. Our tiles work on concrete, wood, and existing flooring.
Step 2: Plan Your Layout
Measure your space and plan tile placement. Start from the most visible corner and work outward. Allow 2-3mm expansion gap around perimeter.
Step 3: Lay Interlocking Tiles
Begin in your chosen corner. Align the first tile, then connect subsequent tiles using the interlocking edges. Press firmly to ensure secure connection. No adhesive required for most installations.
Step 4: Cut Edge Tiles (if needed)
Use a sharp utility knife and straight edge to trim tiles for perfect fit around walls or obstacles. Score deeply and snap for clean cuts.
Step 5: Add Finishing Touches
Install ramped edge pieces around perimeter for professional finish and trip-hazard prevention. Your gym floor is ready for immediate use.
Installation Time: 50m² area = approximately 2-3 hours for two people.
