How Do You Secure a Gym Floor?

Depending on the type of gym flooring, you secure a gym floor either by connecting them through their puzzle-like edges or with the use of a double-sided tape adhesive. Home gym rubber flooring is available in two forms: interlocking gym tiles and rolled rubber gym flooring. Interlocking gym tiles come designed with puzzle-like edges that are used to link them together with other tiles. Interlocking tiles are often used to customize the size of the floor according to the size of the space available or the amount of padding needed. On the other hand, rolled rubber gym flooring are longer strips of matting commonly used to cover entire wall-to-wall spaces. Rubber interlocking gym tiles do not require the use of any adhesives or other tools to install – simply, connect the tiles to one another through their puzzle-lock mechanism. They can be customized to the size of the space available in your home simply by adding or removing some tiles until you have reached your desired size. Its adhesive-free installation also makes it easy to remove and replace a tile in case of any damage – a cost effective flooring option as it cuts costs of replacing the entire rubber floor.

A double-sided tape adhesive can be used to secure rolled rubber gym flooring to a residential floor as it is not a permanent gym floor installation method. Double-sided tape should only be used around the perimeter of the flooring rolls to keep the edges down flat against the subfloor to prevent tripping hazards and to keep the mats in place while in use. Both gym floor installation methods and gym flooring types are temporary and mobile, allowing you to remove, transport, and replace your home gym rubber flooring as needed.
