Example setup · Illustrative imageWhich floor for which space.
Four common UK gym spaces and the product we would usually point you to. Images are illustrations based on our product photos, so you can picture the floor in place.
Example setup · Illustrative imageSingle or double garage on concrete
- Jigsaw edges lock together, so there is nothing to glue
- Lift and relay the tiles if you ever need the garage back
- A good all-rounder under racks, benches and dumbbells
Example setup · Illustrative imageDeadlifts, Olympic lifts and dropped weights
- Our thickest tile, for areas where barbells come down hard
- Studded underside helps absorb impact
- Suits PT studios, strength gyms and serious home setups
Example setup · Illustrative imageHome gym in a bedroom or box room
- 3ft x 3ft mats, so a small room needs only a few
- Textured top for grip under kettlebells, rowers and bikes
- Protects the floor underneath and takes the edge off noise
Example setup · Illustrative imageTraining above someone else's ceiling
- Thick rubber to cut impact noise to the room below
- Add acoustic underlay underneath for the biggest reduction
- Check your floor's load rating before adding heavy kit
Other spaces
Most home gyms go down in an afternoon.
Tiles and mats lock together and rolls lie loose, so most home floors need no adhesive and no fitter. You will want a tape measure, a sharp utility knife and a metal straight edge.
Not sure how much to order? The flooring calculator works it out from your room size, and our buying guides cover thickness and subfloors in more detail.
Prepare
Sweep the subfloor and make sure it is dry and reasonably level. Concrete, screed, timber and existing hard floors all work.
Plan
Start from the longest straight wall or the doorway you see most. Lay loose first so the cut pieces end up at the edges.
Lay
Press tile edges together row by row. For rolls, unroll and leave them to settle flat before cutting to size.
Trim
Score along a straight edge with several light passes of the knife rather than one heavy cut. Keep offcuts for high-wear spots.
