25 mm rubber gym tile, 100 x 100 cm, 1000 kg/m3 high density

Description

The Light In Fitness 25 mm rubber gym tile is a high density shock absorbing tile pressed at 1000 kg/m3, supplied in a 100 x 100 cm format at 32 EUR per square metre excluding VAT. It is tested to EN 1177 for a critical fall height of 1.00 m and classified Efl for reaction to fire under EN 13501-1, so it can be specified for commercial gyms, cross training boxes, public sports halls, playgrounds, terraces and rooftop areas.

The tile is produced from recycled SBR rubber granulate bound with polyurethane resin and finished with a fine grain, non slip surface. At 25 mm it sits between the 15 mm entry specification used for cardio and machine areas and the 40 mm specification used for heavy free weight and weightlifting zones. It is the thickness most buyers select when one single surface has to cover a whole training floor.

Technical specification

Installation and substrate preparation

Indoors, on a smooth and level concrete slab, the tiles are laid loose, edge to edge, with no adhesive. The 25 kg unit weight holds each tile in position once the field is closed against the walls of the room. Perimeter cuts are made with a sharp utility knife and a straight edge. Check the substrate before delivery: a tolerance of 5 mm over a 2 m straight edge is the working limit, because any hollow under a dense tile will eventually show as a visible dip.

Outdoors, in wet areas, on ramps or over an irregular substrate, the tiles should be bonded with a polyurethane adhesive. Bonded installation is also the rule wherever the surface is being used as impact attenuation under equipment, so that the field cannot open up under repeated loading.

Where this thickness performs

The 25 mm tile suits free weight areas with dumbbells and fixed barbells, machine and rig footprints, functional training floors, hotel and residential gyms, and physiotherapy or rehabilitation rooms. Outdoors it works on terraces, plant rooms, rooftops and around pools. Where the equipment above the floor creates a free fall height greater than 1.00 m, move up to a thicker tile rather than doubling this one. For repeated Olympic barbell drops, specify 40 mm or more.

Maintenance is limited to washing with water and a mild detergent. The surface is non porous, so it does not absorb spilled liquids. Expected service life in commercial use is 10 to 15 years, provided oils, solvents and aggressive cleaning chemicals are kept off the surface.

Frequently asked questions

What does 1000 kg/m3 density change in practice?

Density governs how far the tile compresses under a static point load and how quickly it recovers. A denser tile deforms less under machine feet, rack uprights and loaded trolleys, and keeps its geometry longer. It also feels firmer underfoot than a low density tile of the same thickness, which is what buyers want on a free weight floor.

Can the same tile be used indoors and outdoors?

Yes. The material and the finish are the same in both cases. What changes is the installation method: loose laid indoors on smooth concrete, bonded outdoors so that frost, thermal movement and rain cannot lift the edges.

What lead time should we plan?

Stock items ship within 5 to 10 working days. Standard delivery covers France, Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg; export is priced per project. Quotations are issued within 24 working hours, and volume pricing applies on full pallet and full truck quantities.
