20 mm rubber gym flooring tile, Cfl-s1 for public premises

This 20 mm black rubber gym flooring tile is classified Cfl-s1 to EN 13501-1, and it is the only 20 mm black tile in the catalogue carrying that fire rating. That matters in refurbishment work, where door thresholds and existing levels make it impossible to move up to a 40 mm tile: the same thickness and the same colour now come with the fire performance required in premises open to the public. Tiles measure 100 x 100 cm, one square metre each, in recycled rubber with a standard grain non slip surface. The price is 42 EUR excluding VAT per square metre, with volume pricing on large areas.

Technical specification

Fire compliance without changing the floor level

In premises open to the public the fire classification of the floor covering is not a comfort specification, it is what the safety commission inspects. The required reaction to fire class is set according to the type and category of the establishment and the zone concerned, and Efl, the lowest step of the EN 13501-1 scale, is insufficient in the large majority of cases. This tile delivers Cfl-s1 at 20 mm, so an existing installation can be brought into compliance without raising the floor.

That constraint is the reason this reference exists. Moving from 20 mm to 40 mm changes every door threshold, every junction with an adjoining surface and often the swing clearance of the doors themselves, which turns a floor replacement into a joinery project. Keeping the thickness and the plain black appearance also means the change is invisible in a room that is already partly equipped, so a phased refurbishment does not produce a patchwork.

Specify this thickness for cardio zones, functional training areas, circuit rooms and general free weight floors. Heavy drop zones, where loaded bars are released from height, need a thicker tile. Installation is loose laid or bonded depending on the traffic and on whether machines will be dragged across the surface, and the tile is rated for indoor and outdoor use, which allows the same product to run through onto a terrace or an outdoor training area. The EN 13501-1 certificate is issued on request, which is normally required for public procurement files.

Frequently asked questions

Is Cfl-s1 mandatory for my facility?

It depends on the status of the premises. Any space receiving clients or the public falls under the regulations for establishments open to the public, where Efl is generally insufficient. Confirm the exact prescription with the safety commission or your inspection office before ordering.

How much noise does it absorb?

Impact noise is reduced by up to 20 dB, which is the relevant figure when a gym sits above another occupied floor or shares a party wall with a neighbouring business.

Is the tile supplied with a certificate?

The EN 13501-1 conformity certificate is available on request and is routinely supplied for public procurement files. Quotations are returned within 24 to 72 hours.
