Rubber Flooring: The Best Choice For Gyms

By far, the best flooring for any fitness space, whether it's multifamily housing fitness center or a home gym space is rubber flooring. Why rubber flooring? It can prevent slips and falls while also absorbing impact, and it's ideal for high-impact cardio and other workouts. Another plus, rubber flooring won't scratch or dent from lots of traffic and the occasional dropped weight.

Although the ubiquitous black rubber floor is what you'll encounter at most gyms, Ecore offers their wide range of rolled rubber and tile flooring in many color and pattern options. Ecore products offer endless possibilities for rubber flooring, and black is just the beginning. With Ecore products, you can create a floor that's as unique as your style and branding . Ecore products are available in a variety of colors, textures, and patterns, so you can create a floor that's truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you're looking for a bold statement or a subtle design, Ecore has the perfect product for you.

Different Types of Rubber Flooring

Along with a variety of colors and designs, what sets Ecore apart from the rest are the types of flooring they offer. Using proprietary technology to mold different sized layers of flooring, Ecore has options for nearly every type of sport and industry that absorb energy and return useful energy back to the user, creating innovative surfaces that perform better.

Ecore’s Performance series includes several flooring types with varying thicknesses and base layers, each designed for specific usage in mind. This series provides the ultimate surface for every athlete and training type, including Olympic-style lifting, functional training, conditioning, and more. Additional flooring options designed specially for playgrounds, on-the-go training, and even non-fitness spaces round out Ecore’s unmatched rubber flooring lineup.

Wood-Look Gym Flooring: All The Aesthetic You Need

When aesthetics matter most, nothing beats the look of a wood floor. With a warm vibe and classic, timeless appeal, using wood-look gym flooring can impart a very upscale feel to your workout space. Ecore offers Performance Vinyl Tile (PVT) that's engineered to be safer, quieter, and more ergonomic than traditional LVT products. In addition to the wood floor look, you get all of the benefits of Ecore vinyl flooring: low maintenance, high durability and long-lasting flooring. Whether you’re a barre studio, yoga center or dance studio, Ecore’s PVT is a perfect flooring solution — and like their rubber flooring, PVT is available in several color options, adding to their appeal.

Custom Options With Ecore: Logos and More

Put your mark, quite literally, on your gym flooring by choosing rubber floors in your school or brand colors, and create a unique look for your space. Here are a few options for customization:

Custom Logos: Take your logo or design and have it inlayed into rubber flooring. Ecore's custom flooring graphics are designed to enhance fitness or athletic spaces. These graphics can be installed on new or existing Ecore rubber or vinyl surfacing.

Custom Color Matching: If you need to match an existing color scheme, Ecore can dye the rubber flooring accordingly. Ecore offers more than 35 standard EPDM colors. These colors are created through Ecore’s ColorMill® . Ecore is unique, because it is one of a few flooring manufacturers to develop its own EPDM products at its facility in Lancaster, PA. The exclusive ColorMill® process ensures your design will feature the most vivid colors and exhibit a smooth, even finish. There are no limits to the imagination! Create a new shade with various formulations from the color palette for a completely custom look.
