COV A interlocking rubber tiles

The COV A rubber tile is an interlocking tile for strength areas, cross training and cardio zones and sports spaces that need a durable, shock absorbing covering. Light In Fitness supports professionals in choosing tiles matched to the intensity of use, the safety requirements and the finish expected. With a reduced thickness, this tile prioritises protection of the substrate and walking comfort rather than the absorption of dropped heavy loads.

Where a thin interlocking tile is the right choice

Thin tiles are the correct specification for large areas where the floor has to be protected and comfortable rather than able to take a loaded barbell. Interlocking edges make the covering quick to lay and to remove, which suits rooms that are reconfigured, temporary installations and areas where access to the slab has to be kept. Where the same room includes a drop zone, that zone is specified separately with a thicker tile or a platform.

Laying and maintenance

The tile is laid on a flat, clean and stable sub floor. Interlocking edges hold the covering without adhesive in most indoor cases, and perimeter edging tidies the exposed edges. Bonding is used where trolleys or rolling loads cross the surface. Maintenance is limited to sweeping and washing with a neutral detergent. For thicker specifications see rubber gym flooring tiles.

Frequently asked questions

Can this tile go under machines and racks?

It is suitable under cardio machines and selectorised stations, where the load is static. Under a rack that has to be anchored, the tile is cut around the uprights so the structure sits on the slab itself. Send us the equipment plan and we will mark the cut outs.

Do interlocking tiles move in use?

On a flat sub floor with tiles laid tight against walls and equipment bases, movement is minimal. Problems appear where the sub floor is uneven or where a large area has no perimeter restraint. Where rolling loads cross the surface, bonding is the reliable answer.
