The difference between adequate and excellent gym flooring often comes down to thickness. Our 16mm mats provide:
- Joint Protection: Reduces impact stress on knees, ankles, and hips during dynamic movements
- Equipment Protection: Absorbs dropped weight impact, protecting dumbbells and your floor
- Noise Control: Significantly dampens sound transmission to rooms below
- Stability: Heavy enough to stay firmly in place during intense training

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 16mm thick enough for dropping weights?
16mm provides good protection for moderate weight training with dumbbells up to 30-40kg. For heavy Olympic lifting or dropping fully loaded barbells, consider additional crash mats or our thicker 17mm professional range.
How many mats do I need for a home gym?
Each mat covers 0.84m². For a typical 3m x 3m home gym (9m²), you'd need approximately 11 mats. We recommend adding 1-2 extra for cutting waste.
Will these mats damage my garage floor?
No, these mats protect your floor, not damage it. They can be laid directly on concrete, tiles, or other hard surfaces without adhesive. Rubber won't scratch or stain sealed concrete.
Can I use these in a flat without disturbing neighbours?
Yes, the 16mm thickness significantly reduces impact noise transmission. While they won't eliminate all sound, they make a dramatic difference compared to training on bare floor. Avoid dropping heavy weights during unsociable hours.
Should I choose yellow or black edge ramps?
Yellow edges provide high-visibility safety marking, ideal if children may be present or for clear zone demarcation. Black edges offer a more discreet, seamless appearance. Both provide identical protection against trip hazards.
Do I need underlayment beneath the mats?
No, these mats can be installed directly on clean, dry, level surfaces. Underlayment isn't necessary and can actually reduce stability. For maximum comfort on concrete, the 16mm rubber provides sufficient cushioning.
