When it comes to setting up a workout space, selecting the right flooring is crucial for performance, safety, and aesthetics. At Rival Strength, we offer a range of flooring solutions to meet every need.

Budget Friendly Floor Tiles

Our SBR Tiles are a more budget friendly tile, and are made from a dense crumb rubber top layer, and a slightly less dense bottom layer to allow for more shock absorption.

Premium Floor Tiles

Our Premium EPDM Tiles include a machined dense top layer which is grippy, long lasting and easy to clean. The bottom layer is less dense and features a unique shock absorbing pattern.

 

3x Plastic Connectors are included with every tile, which locks them together for more rigidity and reduces movement during use. 

Thicknesses and Sizes

Our EPDM Tiles are all 20mm thick, and available in 1m x 1m tiles, or 500mm x 500m tiles. 

 

Our SBR Tiles are 20mm or 30mm thick, and available in 1m x 1m tiles.

 

You can choose the thickness and size that fits the needs of your gym.
