Technical Specifications

Why Choose Studded Rubber?

🔘 Superior Grip Pattern

The raised studs create multi-directional traction, providing excellent grip whether you're walking, pivoting, or exercising. Especially effective when wet with sweat.

💨 Built-In Ventilation

Air channels between studs allow moisture to evaporate and air to circulate, reducing bacteria and keeping your floor fresher.

🧹 Easy Cleaning

The stud pattern allows debris and dust to fall between the raised areas, keeping the walking surface cleaner. Simply sweep and mop for maintenance.

🛡️ Equipment Protection

Prevents heavy gym machinery from sliding and protects your subfloor from scratches, dents, and equipment vibration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does R11 slip rating mean?

R11 is a professional slip resistance rating indicating the floor is suitable for areas that may become wet, such as around gym equipment where perspiration is present. It provides good grip without being excessively rough.

Which thickness should I choose for a home gym?

For most home gym applications, 3mm-4mm is sufficient. Choose 3mm for under cardio equipment and general flooring. Select 4mm for weights areas or where you want additional cushioning and durability.

Can I put this under a treadmill?

Absolutely. This flooring is ideal under treadmills — it protects your floor from vibration and weight, reduces noise transmission, and prevents the treadmill from sliding during intense sessions.

Is the studded side up or down?

Studded side faces UP for use in gyms. The raised studs provide grip for users and equipment. The flat underside contacts your subfloor. In some industrial applications, studs can face down for drainage.

How do I calculate how much I need?

Measure your room length and the roll width you're ordering. For 1.2m wide rolls, measure how many 1.2m widths fit across your room, then multiply by room length for total metres needed.

Can this flooring handle dropped weights?

This studded flooring provides moderate protection for dropped dumbbells. For heavy Olympic lifting with barbell drops, consider our thicker interlocking tiles (16-18mm) designed specifically for impact absorption.
