Rubber Gym Mats are a really good way to protect your floor and your gym equipment for home gym areas as well as in professional fitness and sports facilities. Rubber gym mats are highly durable and will last for years under normal use. These gym mats made of rubber are a great choice for weight lifting floors and workout spaces where free weights are used.Rubber Gym Mats are design for continuous, high-impact action. These rubber mats are available in a variety of formats depending on the particular use, layout and permanence of the space. Rubber fitness matting is more resilient than typical rubber matting to be able to stand up to years of constant abuse from weights, aerobic exercise and heavy-duty equipment.And of course, Nice Backyard offers a wide selection of rubber gym matting options in many styles including rolls and tiles. Different thickness options provide varying amounts of gym flooring protection.
 
 
So here are How Rubber Mats made:
 
Building rubber mats is beneficial for the environment due to the number of used tires that are recycled during the process. There are factories which recycled up to tires each day.
 

• Large piles of used tires are delivered to a washing station into the factory to knock excess dirt and grime from the tires. Large grinding wheels chop the tires into small bits of rubber, metal, nylon, and fiberglass.
• As the rubber chunks flow along a conveyor, the metal is separated and delivered to a separate warehouse to be recycled
• Next, other materials such as nylon and fiberglass are sifted from the rubber chunks to be disposed of. The large rubber chunks are then dumped into piles.
• A loader then scoops up large chunks of rubber and drops the load into another shredder. This machine grinds the rubber chunks to even smaller rubber pieces, almost to a powder. The rubber powder is spread onto rubber mat molds
• Then, the mat press cooks the mat at a very high pressure to allow the rubber to bond. Water is then poured on the mat for several minutes to cool mats.
• The rubber mats are then sent on their way down the line to dry and be cut into the correct dimensions for warehouse use.

Here are some tips also that you may need to know if you haven’t made up your mind to order Rubber Mats:
How much does Rubber Mat Flooring Cost?

• One of the advantages of rubber flooring is that it is reasonably priced, and its longevity makes it a relatively inexpensive choice, compared to stone flooring or solid wood. On the downside, it is not generally available on the high street or DIY store. You can find it from online suppliers and specialist shops such as NICE BACKYARD that are usually happy to supply samples.

 
What is Rubber Mat Flooring made from?

• Most rubber flooring is made from synthetic-butadiene rubber (SBR), which is a by-product of crude oil. Natural flooring made from latex is also available along with a few small supplies of recycled rubber. If you are looking for a sustainable material, you can always check with your supplier.

 
Where to lay Rubber Mat Flooring?

• Usually it is use for gyms, garages, sheds and workshops but it can be lay down too in wet areas such as kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms since is easy to clean and hygienic. Its popular for lived areas as well especially in contemporary homes. But if you are going to use it in living rooms or bedroom, just make sure you lay a protective pad rug under any furniture to avoid marking the floor.

 
Is Rubber Mat Flooring suitable for underfloor heat?

• Rubber Mat Flooring is an obvious option for pairing with underfloor heating because its soft and warm surface. But if you want to install underfloor heating beneath your rubber mat flooring, you can check with your supplier to see if it has a maximum heat restriction before installation, to make sure the heat won’t damage your chosen flooring.

 
How to fit Rubber Mat Flooring?

• This will depend on your level of skill and experience. Tiles are easier to lay compare to sheet flooring-cutting it incorrectly can be a costly mistake. If you require a more professional finish, or have a large area to fit, consider employing the services of a qualified or experienced fitter like NICE BACKYARD. But if you decide to fit it yourself, ensure your subfloor is level and smooth.

 
Maintaining and cleaning Rubber Mat Flooring

• Rubber Mat Flooring doesn’t require specialist cleaning. Just simply remove the loose dust and dirt with a broom or vacuum cleaner and clean with a damp mop. Some types of rubber mat flooring can be polished to give a glossy finish. Always use mats by external doors, and fit protective feet or pads to the bottom of furniture to prevent marks.

Rubber Flooring is the most popular surface for commercial gyms. This is due to several reasons including durability, affordability and the insulation properties that rubber brings to a gym. Rubber also tends to deaden sound and feels much warmer to stand on than harder surfaces. And once you’ve decided that you would like to use rubber for your flooring and you know if you want rolled or tiled rubber, it is time to determine the rubber flooring thickness you need for your facility where in NICE BACKYARD offers different sizes and thickness of Rubber Mats and help you install and supply it just for you.
 
Most commercial gyms do fine with 15mm rubber flooring. This works as good quality flooring and protects the concrete against occasional dropped dumbbells. For CrossFit workouts involving regularly dropping the barbell in free-wall when doing cleans or snatches, 20mmrubber will best protect the concrete floor, you will need this kind of protection whether you are dropping 90kg or 227kg. Even with rubber flooring, it isn’t unusual for CrossFit affiliates to peek under the mats and see that the regular workouts by their members have done a bit pulverizing the concrete. You can also take an extra measure to protect the floor by using economy bumper plates instead of the harder competition bumper plates. Economy bumpers have more bounce to them, making for a softer blow even when it’s the relatively dead-blow bounce like most are, whereas the competition bumpers transfer more energy into the floor with a dead-blow that’s closer to what iron plates would be. But to totally solve the problem you can use extra layers of rubber or get a lifting platform, which typically has one or two layers of plywood and rubber on top.
 
For without concrete floors, like wood or vinyl subfloor or particularly on a residential building. You can do 20mm. Over the carpet, its best to lay down some 20mm plywood and make sure that its flat then lay the rubber on top. With commercial low-pile carpet you could lay the rubber directly on top of the carpet since its already hard and won’t mess with the stability of your footing. Plush carpet might help protect the floor a little on its own, but not that well, and you’ll be dripping sweat all over it that takes a good steam of cleaning to remove it. You better not plan on dropping your barbell when doing cleans and it is possible to do them without drops if you are careful and perfect your form, just until you deal with weights near you max. For snatches, you must plan on the occasional drop both in front of and behind you, so it’s a bad idea to do snatches at all when you’ve got this kind of floor.
 
Here are the common thicknesses available in Rubber Gym Mats:
6mm Rubber Mats:

• Great for areas where heavy equipment such as treadmills or elliptical machines will be used. It will do great job of protecting both the machinery and your floor from being scratched. It is also very durable enough to withstand dropped weights. This thickness most often finds rubber flooring as a rubber mat roll.

8mm Rubber Mats:

• From a performance standpoint, the difference of 8mm thick rubber mats for gym use is negligible. Either 8mm rubber is great for weight rooms where weights between 23-34kg will be used on regular basis.

15mm Rubber Mats:

• This is adequate for facilities where weights over 45kg will be used but not deliberately dropped on a regular basis.

20mm Rubber Mats:

• This is generally reserved for areas where power lifting will be done.

25mm Rubber Mats:

• This will generally have some sort of support structure on the underside, which will offer more cushion and/or sound absorption.

Whether you are putting down a layer of Rubber Gym Mats for a workshop, home gym, commercial gym, animal stall or kids play area, trimming rubber mats to the right size is probably easier than you think. As you know, it doesn’t require any power tools or sophisticated cutting implements. Here in NICE BACKYARD we offer readily cut rubber mats too just for you, but if you want to do DIY in cutting rubber mats to reduce wastage and eliminates labor on your part here are some steps that you can follow:
 
Materials Needed:

• Gloves
• Utility Knife
• Razor-Sharp Blade
• Straight Edge Guide
• Measuring Tape

 
 
Steps:
Part I.  Preparing Your Materials

1. Equip yourself with the proper safety gear. Consider strapping on some cushioned knee pads to spare your joints unnecessary discomfort while kneeling for long stretches. To prevent possible injury, also avoid handling the utility knife while you are not wearing gloves.
2. Select an appropriate surface to do your cutting. There’s a chance that the utility knife could scar the flooring beneath the mats once it clears the thick rubber. For this reason, it is a good idea to set up your materials in an area where minor damage won’t be noticeable, such as basement or garage floor. But if you don’t have a surface that’s ideal for cutting, you can also protect your subfloor with a layer of cardboard or plywood.
3. Measure the area where you’ll be installing the mat. Extend the tape measure across the floorspace lengthwise then widthwise. Multiply the 2 numbers together to find the square footage of your area. You can also reference this number against the dimensions of the rubber flooring to determine how much material you will need to remove. Take note to make sure that you will write down the necessary measurements, so you don’t forget them, and the size of each individual mat should be clearly indicated on the packaging.
4. Mark the specified dimensions on the mat. Drag a graphite pencil or piece of chalk lightly over the surface of the mat. This will make it easier to see where you will be cutting. A visual guide will also help to allow you to get on your mark again quickly. Using a straight edge also when tracing out your measurements will result in a straighter and more precise lines and the chalk or pencil markings should wash away without difficulty once your project is complete.

 
Part II. Making Clean, Efficient Cuts

1. Lay the mat out flat. Unfold or unroll the mat and stretch it out over the floor of your work area. Thinner mats may bunch up in spots and create wrinkles or bumps, so be sure to smooth these out before you proceed. And if your attempting to cut interlocking sectional mats, put them together first to help them stay put. You can consider using a few heavy objects to weight down the edges of the mat while you work.
2. Position your straight edge alongside the measuring line. Line up the tool so that the markings you made are visible. The straight edge will help guide the blade of the utility knife and keep you on track. Be careful not to accidentally cover up the line or the mat may end being slightly too big or too small for your floorspace. And if you don’t have a straight edge handy, you could also try using 2×4. The heavy board will provide the added benefit of holding the mat in place.
3. Score the mat along the measurement line. Run the tip of the utility knife along the surface of the mat. Work your way down the length a few feet at a time. Dipping the blade of the utility knife in soapy water will enable it to glide effortlessly through the rubber.
4. Continue slicing until the blade clears mat. Press down on the mat with one hand and carefully go back over the slit you just made. Apply firm downward pressure and use long, linear strokes to achieve cleaner edges. It may take you few passes to get all the way through depending on the thickness of the rubber. For a best result, keep moving from one end of the mat to the other rather than separating a single section at a time. That way, the whole strip will come away in one piece. Be sure also to keep the hand that you are always using to steady the mat clear of your knife.
5. Fine-tune your cuts for a custom fit. Unlike other types of flooring that comes in rigid, angular sections, rubber is soft enough to shape any way you need. When properly trimmed, rubber mats will lay perfectly around corners, columns, alcoves and other tricky spots. Take your time maneuvering the utility knife around curves and contours to avoid making mistakes.
6. Clean up your work area. Use a broom and dustpan to collect any small rubber shavings littering on the floor, you can also use portable shop vacuum. Inspect your work area closely when you are finished. As you know that the scrap rubber may not be safe to leave lying around if you have pets or small children.

With all this step, you can now cut your Rubber Gym Mats bought from Nice Backyard safely ?
