Interlock Rubber Tile Flooring - The Best Option for Do-It-Yourself Gym Flooring

Looking for the best do-it-yourself flooring option for your at-home gym? In our expert opinion...the best option is Interlock Rubber Tiles! Sold in 2' x 2' squares, these are a durable and simple solution for your gym flooring needs.

Here are some of the advantages of going this route vs. other flooring options:

Interlock Rubber Tile Flooring

-Labor and time efficient

-Easy to connect to one another

-Come with edge pieces for a nice, clean finish

-Requires no taping or glue on the bottom side

-Can easily be moved, re-arranged, added or subtracted to

-Can be cut to fit corners or unorthodox dimensions

-Do not move under you while you're doing explosive movements

-Allow for expansion and reduction due to climate changes in the space

Long Rolled Rubber Flooring

-Labor and time extensive

-Requires adhesive to the floor (either heavy-duty glue or tape)

-Requires more time and labor to make changes to since it is a more permanent option

-Can be a good option for large spaces, but can require lots of precise cutting on all sides

-Can develop bubbles in the rubber due to changes in heat and humidity, requiring more cuts and labor to fix

Interlock Foam Tile Flooring

-Can sometimes provide too much of a cushion

-Can easily roll-up and move with explosive movements

-More susceptible to rips and tears

For all the reasons stated above, we feel the Interlock Rubber Tiles are the best option for home gyms! Whether they are used to section off a portion or your garage, or to cover the entirety of an inside room...these tiles provide amazing value and utility!
