Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between penny pattern and round dot flooring?

Penny pattern (also called button top or coin pattern) and round dot are essentially the same design — raised circular studs across the surface. Different manufacturers use different names for this classic pattern.

Is R11 slip rating suitable for wet areas?

R11 is rated for areas that may become occasionally wet, like gym floors with perspiration. For constantly wet areas like pool surrounds or showers, R12 or R13 rated flooring is recommended.

Do I need the studs facing up or down?

For gym flooring, studs face UP to provide grip for users and equipment. The flat side goes against your subfloor.

Can I use this in a garage gym?

Absolutely. This flooring is perfect for garage gyms — it handles temperature variations, protects concrete, reduces noise, and provides excellent grip even if the floor becomes damp.

How do I join multiple widths together?

Butt the edges together tightly. For permanent installations, apply adhesive along the seam. For temporary setups, the weight of the rubber keeps edges together adequately.

Will gym equipment damage the raised pattern?

Quality rubber flooring withstands normal gym equipment. Very heavy items with small feet (like loaded squat racks) may compress studs temporarily. Use equipment pads under extremely heavy point loads if concerned.
