The single most important choice you will make. Essential is a tough single-layer mat; Elite is a denser dual-layer mat with a smooth easy-clean top.
Essential is a single-layer, hot-press moulded mat made from coarser, high-density recycled rubber granules. That coarser composition is exactly what makes it excel at shock absorption and noise reduction when weights are dropped, and the textured surface delivers excellent grip. It is our recommended choice for home and residential gyms.
Elite is a superior, denser mat built in two layers. A smooth, high-density pure EPDM wear layer sits on top of a shock-absorbing rubber base, using finer rubber particles for maximum protection and a long-lasting finish. The result is enhanced durability, a genuinely premium look and a surface that is significantly easier to clean. It is our recommendation for commercial gyms, PT studios and premium home builds.
+
15mm suits the vast majority of home gyms. 20mm Elite is our commercial specification for heavy lifting and drop zones.
15mm is the go-to thickness for home and residential gyms. It comfortably handles general strength training, machine and cardio placement, dumbbell work and controlled lifting, while keeping cost and floor height down. Available in both Essential and Elite.
20mm Elite is our commercial specification. The extra 5mm of dense, fine-particle rubber delivers noticeably more shock absorption and sound deadening, making it the right call for heavy deadlifting and Olympic lifting platforms, drop zones, functional training areas and full commercial fit-outs where the floor takes constant abuse all day.
+
Textured high-grip on Essential, smooth EPDM on Elite. The finish you choose decides how easily your floor cleans.
Both ranges are anti-skid even when wet, so footing stays confident through the sweatiest sessions. The difference is in the texture. Essential has an open-grain, textured top that maximises grip. Elite has a smooth, dense EPDM top that resists trapping dust and chalk in the surface.
Sweep or vacuum regularly to lift dust, chalk and grit, then mop with warm water and a mild pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh solvents, bleach and petroleum-based products, which degrade rubber over time. The Elite easy-clean advantage is most obvious here: it wipes down in seconds, which is why it is the preferred choice for commercial facilities.

Solid Black, Black & Blue Fleck or Black & White Fleck — plus a full custom-colour service for larger projects.
Solid Black is the clean, professional default that suits any space. The Black & Blue Fleck and Black & White Fleck finishes add visual interest and are a practical way to zone a floor, marking out a lifting platform or a cardio area without changing product.
For flooring tailored to your brand or interior, we offer a custom-colour service. Contact info@rpmpower.com for a personalised quote. Lead times for customised flooring typically range from 8 to 10 weeks, and a minimum order quantity of at least 100 mats applies.

Heavy impact rated, no gluing required, easy to cut to fit. Protects your floor, your equipment and your joints.
Every mat is manufactured from high-density recycled rubber granules under hot press, so it stays flexible enough to cut with a knife yet dense enough to shrug off years of dropped barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells and slam balls. Mats shield concrete, tiles, timber, laminate and garage floors from impact damage, scuffs and cracking.
They also give your equipment a stable, shock-absorbing base for racks, rigs, treadmills, bikes and benches, and give your joints meaningful cushioning for lifting, plyometrics and conditioning. No gluing is required — the mats are heavy and dense enough to sit flat and stay put on top of your existing floor.

Dampens the crash of dropped weights — the reason most customers buy flooring in the first place.
Rubber granule flooring is one of the most effective ways to reduce the impact noise that travels through a building when weights hit the floor. If your gym is in a garage under a bedroom, an upstairs room, an apartment or a shared commercial building, this is usually the single biggest reason to invest in a proper floor.
Thicker mats absorb more energy, so 20mm outperforms 15mm for sound deadening. The coarser granule structure of the Essential range is also particularly effective at absorbing the shock of dropped weights. For the quietest possible setup in a heavy lifting area, combine 20mm mats with a dedicated lifting platform.

Mats are 1m × 1m, so one mat covers one square metre. Installation needs no adhesive and no specialist installer, just a clean, dry, level floor, a sharp utility knife and a straight edge.
If your room measures in whole metres, it is simply width × depth. A 4m × 4m room takes 16 mats, a 3m × 5m room takes 15.
Where a room does not divide into whole metres you will be cutting a piece to fill the gap at the end of every row, and how much of each cut mat you can actually use depends on how wide that gap is. A piece has to fill its gap in one go — nobody wants two short offcuts butted together to make up a space, and it would look poor. So if the leftover from a cut is shorter than the next gap, it is waste.
| Gap left at the end of each row | Example room | Mats to allow for those gaps |
|---|---|---|
| None — whole metres | 4m × 4m | None |
| 50cm or less (0.1m to 0.5m) | 3.3m or 4.5m wide | One mat per two rows — the offcut is longer than the gap, so it covers the next row too |
| More than 50cm (0.6m to 0.9m) | 3.7m or 4.8m wide | One mat per row — the offcut is shorter than the gap, so it cannot fill another one |
Run your rows in the direction that leaves the smaller gap, and add one spare mat if your room has pillars, recesses or alcoves. If you would like us to check your measurements before you order, send them to info@rpmpower.com and we will work it out for you.
You do not have to lay the mats this way, but for a full room we recommend a brick bond — staggering adjoining rows so the seams do not line up across the floor. It looks considerably better, and it makes the floor more secure, because no continuous seam runs the length of the room for mats to creep along.
A 4m × 4m room. Green pieces are 50cm halves.
In a 4m × 4m room, lay a 50cm piece, three full mats, then a 50cm piece to finish. The next row is four full mats. Then repeat. You can equally start with the full row and put the 50cm pieces on the row after — the result is the same.
Because a 50cm gap takes a 50cm offcut, one mat cut down the middle serves both ends of a row. The room still takes 16 mats, so brick bond costs nothing here.
Red pieces are cut to fit at the wall. Alternate which wall you finish at and the seams offset by themselves.
Where a room does not divide into whole metres you do not need to measure half mats at all. Lay full mats along the row until you reach the wall, then cut a piece to fill what is left. On the next row, start with a full mat directly in front of that cut and work back the other way, so the cut piece meets the opposite wall.
Alternating the wall you finish at gives you the stagger for nothing, and it keeps every cut piece against a wall where a slightly imperfect edge will sit under the skirting rather than out in the middle of the floor.

Free training space
← 4m depth →
A typical single-garage or spare-room gym. Twelve mats cover the full floor with room for a rack, a bench and free training space.
Mark both faces. Measure twice and draw your line with chalk or a silver marker so it stays visible on black rubber.
Score, do not slice. Run a sharp utility knife along a steel straight edge in several progressively deeper passes. Attempting to cut through in one pass is the single most common cause of a wandering, ragged edge.
Flex and finish. Once you are roughly two thirds through, bend the mat away from the cut to open it up, then finish the last pass into the opened groove.
Change blades often. Rubber granule blunts a blade fast. A fresh blade every two or three mats will save far more time than it costs.
On Elite, cut from the back. Scoring from the underside protects the smooth EPDM wear layer from any slip of the blade, so the visible face stays perfect.
Keep your offcuts until the floor is finished. Where the gap you are filling is 50cm or less, the piece left over from a cut is long enough to be trimmed down for the next row, so plan your cuts before you make them rather than working mat by mat. Anything shorter than the gap it would need to fill is scrap — do not try to make a space up from two pieces, as the join will show.
1. Prepare the floor. Sweep the area clean and make sure it is dry and reasonably level. Mats will bridge minor imperfections but will telegraph large lumps or debris.
2. Acclimatise the mats. Lay them flat in the room for a few hours before final fitting, particularly if they have been stored cold or rolled during transit.
3. Decide which way the rows run, then start at the straightest wall. Run your rows in the direction that leaves the smaller gap to fill, as explained above, then lay the first row tight against the wall and work outwards, butting each mat firmly against its neighbour.
4. Stagger each row. We recommend offsetting adjoining rows to create the brick bond, as set out above — 50cm end pieces in a whole-metre room, or a full mat placed in front of the previous row’s cut where your measurements are fractional.
5. Cut the edges last. Work around the perimeter once the field of full mats is down, following the cutting technique above, and measure each gap as you reach it so every piece is trimmed to the space it actually fills.
6. Position equipment. Move racks, machines and benches into place once the floor is complete, and check that rig feet sit flat rather than on a seam wherever possible.
INDOOR, DRY AREAS ONLY: these mats are not suitable for outdoor use. In spaces where moisture may be present, such as a garage floor prone to damp, we strongly recommend laying a heavy-gauge plastic underlay before placing the mats.
Please note that cutting and the natural elasticity of rubber may mean there are a few millimetres of variation in size from mat to mat, which is entirely normal for this product type. New rubber flooring can also carry a natural rubber odour when first laid; this fades over the following days and airing the room well speeds it up considerably. Planning guidance only — check doors, access routes and exercise-specific movement space separately.

Please note that cutting and the natural elasticity of rubber may mean there are a few millimetres of variation in size from mat to mat, which is entirely normal for this product type. New rubber flooring can also carry a natural rubber odour when first laid; this fades over the following days and airing the room well speeds it up considerably. Planning guidance only — check doors, access routes and exercise-specific movement space separately.
Fitting out a commercial facility? Our team can specify the right range, thickness and layout for your space, and we offer commercial gym supply and installation services to take the project off your hands entirely.
Pair your flooring with gym turf for sled tracks and functional zones, and browse our full range of racks and rigs, weight plates and benches to finish your build.
TRAINING ENVIRONMENT: Essential is recommended for home and residential gyms; Elite is recommended for commercial, semi-commercial and premium home spaces.
NO GLUING REQUIRED: mats lay straight on top of your existing floor and are easy to cut to fit with a sharp utility knife.

The single most important choice you will make. Essential is a tough single-layer mat; Elite is a denser dual-layer mat with a smooth easy-clean top.
Essential is a single-layer, hot-press moulded mat made from coarser, high-density recycled rubber granules. That coarser composition is exactly what makes it excel at shock absorption and noise reduction when weights are dropped, and the textured surface delivers excellent grip. It is our recommended choice for home and residential gyms.
Elite is a superior, denser mat built in two layers. A smooth, high-density pure EPDM wear layer sits on top of a shock-absorbing rubber base, using finer rubber particles for maximum protection and a long-lasting finish. The result is enhanced durability, a genuinely premium look and a surface that is significantly easier to clean. It is our recommendation for commercial gyms, PT studios and premium home builds.

15mm suits the vast majority of home gyms. 20mm Elite is our commercial specification for heavy lifting and drop zones.
15mm is the go-to thickness for home and residential gyms. It comfortably handles general strength training, machine and cardio placement, dumbbell work and controlled lifting, while keeping cost and floor height down. Available in both Essential and Elite.
20mm Elite is our commercial specification. The extra 5mm of dense, fine-particle rubber delivers noticeably more shock absorption and sound deadening, making it the right call for heavy deadlifting and Olympic lifting platforms, drop zones, functional training areas and full commercial fit-outs where the floor takes constant abuse all day.
+
Textured high-grip on Essential, smooth EPDM on Elite. The finish you choose decides how easily your floor cleans.
Both ranges are anti-skid even when wet, so footing stays confident through the sweatiest sessions. The difference is in the texture. Essential has an open-grain, textured top that maximises grip. Elite has a smooth, dense EPDM top that resists trapping dust and chalk in the surface.
Sweep or vacuum regularly to lift dust, chalk and grit, then mop with warm water and a mild pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh solvents, bleach and petroleum-based products, which degrade rubber over time. The Elite easy-clean advantage is most obvious here: it wipes down in seconds, which is why it is the preferred choice for commercial facilities.

Solid Black, Black & Blue Fleck or Black & White Fleck — plus a full custom-colour service for larger projects.
Solid Black is the clean, professional default that suits any space. The Black & Blue Fleck and Black & White Fleck finishes add visual interest and are a practical way to zone a floor, marking out a lifting platform or a cardio area without changing product.
For flooring tailored to your brand or interior, we offer a custom-colour service. Contact info@rpmpower.com for a personalised quote. Lead times for customised flooring typically range from 8 to 10 weeks, and a minimum order quantity of at least 100 mats applies.

Heavy impact rated, no gluing required, easy to cut to fit. Protects your floor, your equipment and your joints.
Every mat is manufactured from high-density recycled rubber granules under hot press, so it stays flexible enough to cut with a knife yet dense enough to shrug off years of dropped barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells and slam balls. Mats shield concrete, tiles, timber, laminate and garage floors from impact damage, scuffs and cracking.
They also give your equipment a stable, shock-absorbing base for racks, rigs, treadmills, bikes and benches, and give your joints meaningful cushioning for lifting, plyometrics and conditioning. No gluing is required — the mats are heavy and dense enough to sit flat and stay put on top of your existing floor.

Dampens the crash of dropped weights — the reason most customers buy flooring in the first place.
Rubber granule flooring is one of the most effective ways to reduce the impact noise that travels through a building when weights hit the floor. If your gym is in a garage under a bedroom, an upstairs room, an apartment or a shared commercial building, this is usually the single biggest reason to invest in a proper floor.
Thicker mats absorb more energy, so 20mm outperforms 15mm for sound deadening. The coarser granule structure of the Essential range is also particularly effective at absorbing the shock of dropped weights. For the quietest possible setup in a heavy lifting area, combine 20mm mats with a dedicated lifting platform.

Mats are 1m × 1m, so one mat covers one square metre. Installation needs no adhesive and no specialist installer, just a clean, dry, level floor, a sharp utility knife and a straight edge.
If your room measures in whole metres, it is simply width × depth. A 4m × 4m room takes 16 mats, a 3m × 5m room takes 15.
Where a room does not divide into whole metres you will be cutting a piece to fill the gap at the end of every row, and how much of each cut mat you can actually use depends on how wide that gap is. A piece has to fill its gap in one go — nobody wants two short offcuts butted together to make up a space, and it would look poor. So if the leftover from a cut is shorter than the next gap, it is waste.
| Gap left at the end of each row | Example room | Mats to allow for those gaps |
|---|---|---|
| None — whole metres | 4m × 4m | None |
| 50cm or less (0.1m to 0.5m) | 3.3m or 4.5m wide | One mat per two rows — the offcut is longer than the gap, so it covers the next row too |
| More than 50cm (0.6m to 0.9m) | 3.7m or 4.8m wide | One mat per row — the offcut is shorter than the gap, so it cannot fill another one |
Run your rows in the direction that leaves the smaller gap, and add one spare mat if your room has pillars, recesses or alcoves. If you would like us to check your measurements before you order, send them to info@rpmpower.com and we will work it out for you.
You do not have to lay the mats this way, but for a full room we recommend a brick bond — staggering adjoining rows so the seams do not line up across the floor. It looks considerably better, and it makes the floor more secure, because no continuous seam runs the length of the room for mats to creep along.
A 4m × 4m room. Green pieces are 50cm halves.
In a 4m × 4m room, lay a 50cm piece, three full mats, then a 50cm piece to finish. The next row is four full mats. Then repeat. You can equally start with the full row and put the 50cm pieces on the row after — the result is the same.
Because a 50cm gap takes a 50cm offcut, one mat cut down the middle serves both ends of a row. The room still takes 16 mats, so brick bond costs nothing here.
Red pieces are cut to fit at the wall. Alternate which wall you finish at and the seams offset by themselves.
Where a room does not divide into whole metres you do not need to measure half mats at all. Lay full mats along the row until you reach the wall, then cut a piece to fill what is left. On the next row, start with a full mat directly in front of that cut and work back the other way, so the cut piece meets the opposite wall.
Alternating the wall you finish at gives you the stagger for nothing, and it keeps every cut piece against a wall where a slightly imperfect edge will sit under the skirting rather than out in the middle of the floor.

Free training space
← 4m depth →
A typical single-garage or spare-room gym. Twelve mats cover the full floor with room for a rack, a bench and free training space.
Mark both faces. Measure twice and draw your line with chalk or a silver marker so it stays visible on black rubber.
Score, do not slice. Run a sharp utility knife along a steel straight edge in several progressively deeper passes. Attempting to cut through in one pass is the single most common cause of a wandering, ragged edge.
Flex and finish. Once you are roughly two thirds through, bend the mat away from the cut to open it up, then finish the last pass into the opened groove.
Change blades often. Rubber granule blunts a blade fast. A fresh blade every two or three mats will save far more time than it costs.
On Elite, cut from the back. Scoring from the underside protects the smooth EPDM wear layer from any slip of the blade, so the visible face stays perfect.
Keep your offcuts until the floor is finished. Where the gap you are filling is 50cm or less, the piece left over from a cut is long enough to be trimmed down for the next row, so plan your cuts before you make them rather than working mat by mat. Anything shorter than the gap it would need to fill is scrap — do not try to make a space up from two pieces, as the join will show.
1. Prepare the floor. Sweep the area clean and make sure it is dry and reasonably level. Mats will bridge minor imperfections but will telegraph large lumps or debris.
2. Acclimatise the mats. Lay them flat in the room for a few hours before final fitting, particularly if they have been stored cold or rolled during transit.
3. Decide which way the rows run, then start at the straightest wall. Run your rows in the direction that leaves the smaller gap to fill, as explained above, then lay the first row tight against the wall and work outwards, butting each mat firmly against its neighbour.
4. Stagger each row. We recommend offsetting adjoining rows to create the brick bond, as set out above — 50cm end pieces in a whole-metre room, or a full mat placed in front of the previous row’s cut where your measurements are fractional.
5. Cut the edges last. Work around the perimeter once the field of full mats is down, following the cutting technique above, and measure each gap as you reach it so every piece is trimmed to the space it actually fills.
6. Position equipment. Move racks, machines and benches into place once the floor is complete, and check that rig feet sit flat rather than on a seam wherever possible.
INDOOR, DRY AREAS ONLY: these mats are not suitable for outdoor use. In spaces where moisture may be present, such as a garage floor prone to damp, we strongly recommend laying a heavy-gauge plastic underlay before placing the mats.
Please note that cutting and the natural elasticity of rubber may mean there are a few millimetres of variation in size from mat to mat, which is entirely normal for this product type. New rubber flooring can also carry a natural rubber odour when first laid; this fades over the following days and airing the room well speeds it up considerably.

Four mats give a 2m × 2m platform, enough for a barbell and a full lifting stance. Choose 20mm Elite for repeated heavy drops.
3m W × 4m D
12 mats / 12m²
Free training space
← 4m depth →
A typical single-garage or spare-room gym. Twelve mats cover the full floor with room for a rack, a bench and free training space.
Mark both faces. Measure twice and draw your line with chalk or a silver marker so it stays visible on black rubber.
Score, do not slice. Run a sharp utility knife along a steel straight edge in several progressively deeper passes. Attempting to cut through in one pass is the single most common cause of a wandering, ragged edge.
Flex and finish. Once you are roughly two thirds through, bend the mat away from the cut to open it up, then finish the last pass into the opened groove.
Change blades often. Rubber granule blunts a blade fast. A fresh blade every two or three mats will save far more time than it costs.
On Elite, cut from the back. Scoring from the underside protects the smooth EPDM wear layer from any slip of the blade, so the visible face stays perfect.
Keep your offcuts until the floor is finished. Where the gap you are filling is 50cm or less, the piece left over from a cut is long enough to be trimmed down for the next row, so plan your cuts before you make them rather than working mat by mat. Anything shorter than the gap it would need to fill is scrap — do not try to make a space up from two pieces, as the join will show.
1. Prepare the floor. Sweep the area clean and make sure it is dry and reasonably level. Mats will bridge minor imperfections but will telegraph large lumps or debris.
2. Acclimatise the mats. Lay them flat in the room for a few hours before final fitting, particularly if they have been stored cold or rolled during transit.
3. Decide which way the rows run, then start at the straightest wall. Run your rows in the direction that leaves the smaller gap to fill, as explained above, then lay the first row tight against the wall and work outwards, butting each mat firmly against its neighbour.
4. Stagger each row. We recommend offsetting adjoining rows to create the brick bond, as set out above — 50cm end pieces in a whole-metre room, or a full mat placed in front of the previous row’s cut where your measurements are fractional.
5. Cut the edges last. Work around the perimeter once the field of full mats is down, following the cutting technique above, and measure each gap as you reach it so every piece is trimmed to the space it actually fills.
6. Position equipment. Move racks, machines and benches into place once the floor is complete, and check that rig feet sit flat rather than on a seam wherever possible.
INDOOR, DRY AREAS ONLY: these mats are not suitable for outdoor use. In spaces where moisture may be present, such as a garage floor prone to damp, we strongly recommend laying a heavy-gauge plastic underlay before placing the mats.
Please note that cutting and the natural elasticity of rubber may mean there are a few millimetres of variation in size from mat to mat, which is entirely normal for this product type. New rubber flooring can also carry a natural rubber odour when first laid; this fades over the following days and airing the room well speeds it up considerably. Planning guidance only — check doors, access routes and exercise-specific movement space separately.

Installation is genuinely straightforward and requires no adhesive. Start with a clean, dry, level floor and lay your first row tight against the longest straight wall. We recommend laying in a brick bond pattern (staggering each row by half a mat, like brickwork) as this locks the floor together visually and mechanically, minimises movement and avoids long continuous seams. Butt each mat firmly against its neighbour as you go. Where a mat needs trimming, score it several times with a sharp utility knife against a straight edge and flex it apart rather than trying to cut through in one pass. Please note that cutting and the natural elasticity of rubber may mean there are a few millimetres of variation in size from mat to mat, which is entirely normal for this product type.
Sweep or vacuum regularly to lift dust, chalk and grit, then mop with warm water and a mild pH-neutral floor cleaner. Avoid harsh solvents, bleach and petroleum-based products, which can degrade rubber over time. The smooth EPDM surface of the Elite range is where its easy-clean advantage really shows: it wipes down in seconds and resists trapping dust in the surface texture, which is exactly why it is the preferred choice for commercial facilities and anyone who wants a floor that always looks presentable.
New rubber flooring can carry a natural rubber odour when first laid. This is normal and fades over the following days, and airing the room well during and after installation speeds the process up considerably.
For personalised gym flooring tailored to your brand or interior, we offer a custom-colour service, giving you the flexibility to create a flooring design that perfectly complements your aesthetic.
