Rubber mat for a treadmill, tough and heavy duty rubber treadmill floor mat! A tough heavy-duty rubber treadmill mat can serve many functions. The sheer weight of a treadmill can cause subsurface damage, thus you need a mat to protect the subsurface from the treadmill itself. The gauge (i.e. thickness) of the treadmill mat is a telling factor as to how much the portable treadmill mat will protect the subsurface during your treadmill workout and while your Welso treadmill is just relaxing.
Rubber, by nature, is excellent at absorbing shock, reducing noise and containing vibration that is given off by many types of machinery (i.e. treadmills, ellipticals, washer and dryer machines, steppers, paint shakers, weight benches, etc…). Treadmill mats (i.e. Shark Tooth, Maxx-Tuff, Treadmill Mats, Elliptical Mat) are commonly used in areas where you need to reduce the noise and vibrations; areas like 2nd floor apartments, rooms with wood floors, or when you want to workout at odd hours. If you are planning on building a home gym, and your living condition mirrors any of the aforementioned situations, you should consider a complete rubber flooring solution (i.e. Elephant Bark recycled rubber flooring, or Eco-Sport Tiles). These rubber flooring options are designed to cover a large area as apposed to treadmill mats which are designed for only under the treadmill.
What are the benefits of using a mat over a full flooring option?
1.) Single Mats like treadmill mats are very versatile. You can place them in more areas and are generally less cumbersome aesthetically than full flooring options. A few mats here, and a few mats there.
2.) The shipping cost for sending a few small mats will be significantly less than if you are to purchase a full flooring option. If you purchase a rubber mat for your treadmill workout it can be shipped via Fed Ex Ground and that will save you a lot of money.
3.) Installation of a treadmill mat is simple! If you just lay the mat in the desired area you are done. Flooring solutions generally require a more time and labor intensive installation and can involve messy and overwhelming adhesives.
Basically, if you need to absorb shock, reduce noise, and contain vibration all while protecting your treadmill and your floor consider one of our rubber treadmill mats.
