When your gym floor takes a beating every single day, you need rubber that's built for it. Our commercial-grade rubber gym flooring rolls are manufactured from high-density recycled SBR rubber with a durable EPDM top layer — delivering the slip resistance, impact absorption and longevity that commercial facilities demand. At 1m wide and available in 4mm to 12mm thickness, these rolls cut to your exact length so there's no waste and no awkward joins. Whether you're fitting out a new fitness suite or replacing worn commercial flooring, this is the roll trusted by gyms, leisure centres and sports facilities across the UK.
Why Choose a Roll Over Tiles?

| Narrow / Long Spaces | ✅ Ideal — rolls fit corridors & lanes | ❌ Awkward cutting required |
| Waste | ✅ Cut to exact length — zero waste | ❌ Off-cuts from borders |
| Weight per m² | ✅ Lighter than equivalent thick tiles | ❌ Heavier per m² at 12mm+ |
| Installation | ✅ Lay & cut — no locking required | ⚠️ Interlocking edges needed |
| Hygiene | ✅ No gaps for dirt or bacteria | ⚠️ Joins can trap sweat/dirt |

How to Order & Measure
Ordering the right amount is simple:
- Measure your space: Length × Width. Our rolls are 1m wide, so for a 5m × 3m room you'd need three separate 5m lengths (covering 3m width).
- Choose your thickness using the guide above.
- Select cut-to-length or full 10m roll — cut-to-length is perfect for odd dimensions with zero waste.
- Add to cart and we'll cut your order to the nearest centimetre before dispatch.

Installation Guide
- Prepare the sub-floor: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, flat and free from dust, grease or debris.
- Acclimatise the roll: Allow the rubber to unroll and rest in the room for 30–60 minutes before fitting — this removes any curl from transit.
- Lay from one edge: Start at the longest straight wall and roll out, trimming to fit with a sharp utility knife and straight edge.
- Butt edges tightly: If using multiple rolls side by side, push edges flush together — no overlap.
- Secure if required: For permanent installations use double-sided carpet tape or rubber flooring adhesive along edges and seams. For loose-lay gym use, the weight of rubber is usually sufficient.
- Trim door thresholds: Use rubber edging strips or bevelled trim for a neat, safe edge at doorways.
- Final check: Walk the surface to ensure no bubbles or lifted edges before bringing in equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What thicknesses are available for commercial gyms?
We supply commercial rubber gym flooring rolls in 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm and 12mm. For most commercial free-weight areas we recommend 8mm or 10mm; 12mm is ideal for Olympic lifting platforms and heavy-drop zones.
Can I order cut to length?
Yes — all our rolls are available cut to your exact required length. Simply enter the length you need at checkout, and we'll cut it before dispatch. This eliminates waste and reduces material cost.
Is this rubber CE certified?
Yes. Our rubber gym flooring rolls are CE marked and REACH compliant, meeting all relevant EU and UK safety and chemical regulations. Ideal for commercial environments where compliance certification is required.
How wide are the rolls?
All rolls are 1 metre wide. For areas wider than 1m you'll need multiple rolls laid side by side. The rolls butt flush together with no overlap, keeping joins minimal and tight.
Will the surface be slippery when wet?
No — the textured non-slip EPDM surface maintains excellent grip even in high-sweat environments. Wipe down with a diluted gym cleaner. Avoid wax-based polishes which can reduce surface grip.
How long does delivery take?
Standard UK mainland delivery is 1–2 working days from dispatch. Orders placed before noon on weekdays are typically dispatched same day. Contact us for Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland and island delivery timescales.
