Home & Garage Gym Flooring

A garage or spare room needs a floor that survives dropped dumbbells and a cold winter without lifting at the joints or sending every impact through the ceiling below. This is the thinner end of the range – 10mm to 30mm interlocking tiles, jigsaw mats and wood effect – sized for a converted garage, a spare bedroom or a second-floor flat.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flooring is best for a garage gym?
Interlocking rubber tiles laid straight over the garage floor are the usual choice. The Rival Strength 20mm SBR tiles come with plastic connectors and have a shock-absorbing pattern on the base. Where barbells will be dropped, step up to 30mm Gymgear tiles. Rubber also protects the concrete and makes a cold floor more comfortable to train on.
Should I choose 15mm or 20mm gym flooring?
15mm tiles suit garage gyms, home gyms and lighter training, such as kettlebells and bodyweight work. 20mm tiles are the better fit for heavier strength training with barbells, racks and free weights. If you lift heavy and drop the bar, consider 30mm. Both 15mm and 20mm options are in our EPDM tiles and rubber tiles ranges.
Can you lay gym flooring straight onto concrete?
Yes. Most of our home gym tiles are loose-laid, so they sit directly on a concrete floor and lock together with connectors, with no glue needed. The floor underneath should be level, firm and dry. Tiles such as the Gymgear 20mm Premium tile use hidden connectors for an adhesive-free finish. Finish open edges with ramped edges.
How many gym floor tiles do I need per m²?
It depends on tile size. A 1m × 0.5m tile covers 0.5m², so you need 2 per m². A 1m × 1m tile covers 1m². A 50cm × 50cm tile covers 0.25m², so you need 4 per m². Measure the room, multiply length by width, then add a few spare tiles for cuts around doors and posts. Sizes are listed on each product in home and garage gym flooring.
