Gym flooring must be flexible and tough to withstand the demands of heavy weight and high impact seen every day in sports facilities. Gym flooring should be able to absorb an impact, while also remaining rigid enough to remain stable under heavy loads. This is a tall order for any flooring product, but there are many rubber flooring products manufactured specifically to fit these needs. The best gym flooring will provide a level surface, but also be able to muffle the sound of a falling weight.

Commercial Mats and Rubber is a large manufacturer of gym flooring, with several models suitable for all sports purposes. Commercial Mats and Rubber's Diamond Mega Plate tiles are specifically designed to absorb heavy shocks and absorb noise, while also remaining rigid under extremely heavy loads. Better yet, Diamond Mega Plates are solid 4x4 tiles that interlock with one another, requiring no adhesives in order to install. The Diamond Mega Plates should remain perfectly in place without any need for adhesives. The rubber used in the construction of the Diamond Mega Plates is engineered to withstand heavy loads, and will not tear or fray under pressure.

Commercial Mats and Rubber's Best Flex Flooring is another great option for gym flooring. The Best Flex flooring is designed to hold up to heavy loads without ripping or tearing. The product is also available in a wide variety of colors and textures. Just like the Diamond Mega Plate, the Best Flex flooring is installed without adhesives, and simply locks together. In addition to its toughness, both flooring types are given a great traction surface that prevents slipping. This makes Best Flex perfect for gyms, where flooring that is tough, safe, and appealing must be used.

For those looking for a more affordable option, Commercial Mats and Rubber sells the Gym Dandy flooring solution. Gym Dandy provides an anti-slip surface that is easy to clean and fire retardant, but also easier on the wallet. Commercial Rubber is running a sale at the moment on colored texture tiles, making them a more affordable avenue for some people. The overstock sale makes 3/8" interlocking fleck color tiles available for $10.99 per tile before shipping. The tiles are easy to install and require no toxic or flammable adhesives. This provides a safe and reliable surface that is also environmentally friendly.
