Gym rubber flooring can vary significantly in quality, even if the mats look the same. The main factor determining quality is the grading of the recycled rubber used. Higher-grade rubber is refined for smoother, finer pebbles, while lower-grade mats have larger pebbles and rough grains, which can be spotted by inspecting the underside. Thicker mats, such as the 15mm thickness required for commercial use, are essential for withstanding the heavy impact of gym equipment and free weights. Thinner mats (10mm or 12mm) are more prone to tearing and will not offer the same durability.
Another important consideration is the smell of the mats. Higher-quality mats have a mild rubber scent that fades after airing out, whereas cheaper mats often emit a strong chemical smell, which can be overwhelming in poorly ventilated gyms. Additionally, cheaper mats tend to have thinner top layers with inferior rubber beneath. Our mats are designed to withstand the daily abuse of commercial gyms, with high-density rubber compounds that provide lasting performance and shock absorption, making them ideal for heavy-duty use.
Each weld is done by robots. This ensures maximum safety for users, as it guarantees the carrying capacity of each component is completely accurate.
Four-Ways is Ideal for high-strength, but more expensive and complex. Inferior products use Two-Way Welding as it is faster and cheaper to manufacturer, that will have 50% less strength and safety at the welded area.
