Rubber gym flooring remains in high demand as the trend for home gyms continues. Not only is a home gym practical, convenient and safe, but once it has been installed you will be saving on those monthly gym memberships and likely be using it a lot more than the one that you have to drive to!

Rubber gym flooring comes in a variety of styles, sizes and thicknesses. The type of workouts that you do in your home gym will ultimately determine which one of our styles you choose, as will the cost.
Rubber flooring is a relatively inexpensive type of flooring, particularly in comparison to other materials. Rubber flooring is loved for its durability, which can certainly reduce cost over time, particularly when using heavy weights and bulky equipment.
Our rubber flooring also acts as a protector for your existing flooring. Expensive hardwood and stone flooring can cost a small fortune to replace, so rubber flooring is an excellent way to save on potential damage.
When it comes to calculating the cost of your new rubber gym flooring there are a number of variables to take into consideration. The cost of any rubber flooring will change based upon thickness, size, and the quality of the material. Commercial gym flooring can range vastly in price from retailer to retailer.
We currently offer 4 types of rubber gym flooring, with at least one sure to meet all of your gym needs. Our prices start from $2.20/sq. ft. and go up to $4.30/sq. ft. and the good news is that all of our gym tiles are fast and easy to install yourself, so you will save money on labor costs.
Our 3 most popular rubber tiles are the Genaflex Lite, Genaflex Lock and Genaflex Pro Tile.
The Genaflex Roll comes in individual rolls measuring 4' x 20' x 8mm and covers up to 80 sq. ft. and starts at $3.50 / sq. ft. Mats provide an excellent stable and supportive flooring solution that is durable enough for heavy weights and training sessions and just like the tiles, they also can be cut and tailored to any space.
Although it can often be tempting to select the least expensive option, it may not be the most suitable for your needs. That is why it is important to do your research and choose the rubber flooring that is best suited to your workouts and lifestyle.
Rubber tiles run between $3 and $8 per square foot. Ballistic rubber tile prices land at the top of this range, while thinner ones are less expensive.
These are great options for those installing rubber flooring in a smaller room. The squares are easier to install and only take a day or two if done by a professional, assuming your subfloor is in good shape.
Poured floor coating is the most expensive, with materials between $9 and $16 per square foot. High-end options can run up to $20 per square foot. Installation adds around $3 per square foot to your overall estimate. Unless you&#;re highly experienced, it&#;s best to hire a pro for the project.
For outside surfaces, the cost to install poured-in-place rubber flooring is similar.
Rolled mats are the least expensive option for materials at $1 to $5 per square foot. These are easier to install than poured floor coating, so labor costs are lower.
Mats are good for those who plan to add significant weight to their rubber floors. They&#;re more likely to hold up to a beating than tiles that can break apart, suitable for a home gym or children&#;s playroom.
Wood-like vinyl, PVC, and foam flooring tiles run between $1 and $5 per square foot and are typically better options than rubber when seeking a wooden look. You can print wood patterns onto these materials while getting traction and cushioning similar to rubber.
However, rubber wood-like flooring is hard to come by, and the closest you can get is a material that mimics the color of wood.
Nora is a popular brand that offers rolled mat and tile flooring options for various prices. You can purchase from this brand for residential use through a local flooring dealer, and Nora flooring requires professional installation. Some of their product warranties last up to 10 years, so they&#;re frequently used in hospitals, schools, and other public buildings.
The average price to install rubber tile flooring is $720 for a standard 144-square-foot room. Poured-in-place flooring costs about $2,300 to lay, comparable to the average $2,900 cost to install flooring from other popular materials like wood and laminate.
Factors that influence labor fees include the following:
Corners: More corners mean more work and higher costs
Room size: Smaller spaces cost more per square foot
Subflooring installation cost: $30&#;$35 per sq. ft. in addition to the price of rubber
Location: Expect to pay more if you live in an area with a higher cost of living
Number of workers: Fewer workers means lower cost

Rubber flooring is a popular option for many kitchens, particularly if you spend a lot of time on your feet. The soft surface is easier on your knees and back and makes standing more comfortable. And if you happen to drop a bowl, this option is shatter-resistant.
They work well in bathrooms since they&#;re slip- and water-resistant. The steam and dampness from showers shouldn&#;t bother the material.
At $16 per square foot, poured rubber is an excellent option to go under cars since tile options can break up easily. Rolled mats and tiles cost half as much and work well for garage gyms or tool bench areas. But remember that petroleum from cars could break down these surfaces over time. We discuss rubber flooring for home gyms in the next section.
It costs about $1,000 to replace rubber floor tiles in a 144-square-foot room. To switch out a poured surface, expect to pay around $3,200. This project will take longer than a basic installation, so prepare to pay more for labor.
Rubber floors have many advantages and some disadvantages. Take a look at the list below to determine whether they&#;re suitable for your home and needs.
Advantages:
Easy to maintain
Flexible
Durable
Water-resistant
Noise-resistant
Can absorb impact
Easy to install
Disadvantages:
Fewer style choices than other floor options
Rubbery smell
Slippery when wet
Can lack visual appeal for areas such as living or entertainment rooms
You have numerous flooring options for your home. Compare them to rubber floors before you commit to one, or mix and match different flooring materials depending on the room type and your personal preferences.
Vinyl flooring cost: Like rubber floors, they&#;re budget-friendly, easy to maintain, water-resistant, and durable. Another benefit to vinyl floors is that there are more style and color options to choose from, like the cost of LVT floors.
Carpet cost: Like rubber floors, carpet can also help provide insulation from the cold and sound and is less expensive than the cost of hardwood floors. But carpets have more style varieties and can help your space look cozy and inviting compared to rubber flooring.
Cork flooring cost: Like rubber floors, they're heat-insulating and sound-dampening. They're also easy to install, often using a snap-and-lock process to fit together. But a major con is that cork floors require regular maintenance and must be resealed every few years.
A pro can add anywhere from $1 to $4 per square foot in installation fees, excluding the cost of materials. Choosing to DIY versus hiring a local flooring contractor can be difficult. Poured rubber surfacing and rolled mats usually require a contractor&#;s help, as there&#;s a lot of measuring, cutting, and mixing involved.
Also, some flooring brands require professional installation to maintain their warranties. You may choose to install tiles on your own, but a pro is the way to go for a larger space with more complicated corners.
