Fire rated rubber flooring tiles

Fire rated rubber tiles answer the requirements of sports venues open to the public, strength training areas, hotels, local authority buildings and professional centres where the floor covering has to satisfy a reaction to fire classification. Light In Fitness helps you choose a covering that combines impact absorption, durability and the safety classification your building requires.

Understanding the Bfl, Cfl and Dfl classes

These are the European reaction to fire classifications applicable to floor coverings, listed here from the highest performing to the lowest of the three. Which class a project needs is set by the building, its use and its classification as a venue open to the public, not by the equipment installed on the floor. The correct order of operations is to obtain the required class from the building file, then specify the covering, because retrofitting a compliant floor after an inspection is far more expensive.

Specification, laying and documentation

Ask for the classification certificate with the quotation and keep it in the building file, since that is the document an inspection will ask for. Beyond the fire class, the covering is specified like any other: thickness follows the impact to be absorbed and the traffic it will carry. Laying is loose on a flat, stable sub floor in most indoor cases, bonded where rolling loads or slopes apply. For the wider range see rubber gym flooring tiles.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which class my building requires?

The requirement comes from the building’s classification and its fire safety file, prepared by the party responsible for the works or by the operator, not from the flooring supplier. Once the class is known, we supply a covering that meets it together with the supporting certificate. If the class is not yet fixed, ask the question before ordering.

Does a fire classification reduce impact absorption?

Not inherently. Fire performance and impact absorption are separate properties, and both appear on the technical sheet. What matters is checking that the reference chosen satisfies both requirements at the same time rather than one of them. We confirm both figures on the offer.
