16mm Rubber Gym Tiles – Commercial Grade Flooring
500mm × 500mm · Interlocking Design · UK Stock
16mm commercial-grade rubber gym tiles deliver reliable floor protection for functional training zones, studio spaces, and moderate-intensity training areas. Made from dense recycled SBR rubber with a density of 900 kg/m³, these tiles are thick enough for controlled weight work, with proven durability and fast installation across commercial facilities. Available in 500mm × 500mm format with an interlocking puzzle edge for tool-free installation.
Designed for gyms and fitness facilities that need dependable flooring without the premium price of thicker specialist tiles, the 16mm thickness provides an excellent balance of protection, comfort, and value. Whether you're flooring a commercial functional training area, a group fitness studio, or a multi-use sports hall, these tiles handle daily training demands effectively. The interlocking design allows you to create seamless coverage across any floor area, and individual tiles can be replaced without relaying the entire floor.
The dense rubber composition absorbs 70% of impact force from standard training activities — protecting your subfloor from damage, reducing wear on equipment, and improving underfoot comfort during long training sessions. At 65% noise reduction, they're also highly effective in multi-tenant buildings, above-ground facilities, and shared commercial spaces where noise management is important.

Installation
Interlocking puzzle edges snap together without tools or adhesive. Fast deployment enables quick facility setup or zone reconfiguration. Works over concrete, timber, or existing flooring — the subfloor must be clean, dry, and level before installation. Trim edge tiles with a utility knife or jigsaw for a neat finish against walls and door frames.
