How It Compares
Compared to rolled rubber flooring, these interlocking tiles offer easier installation and repositioning with no tools or adhesives. While rolls are great for covering large areas quickly, tiles provide flexibility for future layout changes and replacements. For thicker protection, consider our gym flooring collection with 1/2" or thicker options.

Tape or glue is not required for simpler home gym set ups. For high-traffic areas or spaces without climate control, glue is ideal to ensure a long-lasting, secure installation with tightly sealed seams that withstand temperature changes. For DIY projects or temporary setups—especially in leased spaces—double-sided tape offers a reliable, non-permanent solution that keeps tiles in place without the need for adhesive.
A. Double-Sided Tape Installation
- Make sure the subfloor is clean, dry, and free of debris.
- Lay the tiles loosely in the room to create your layout. Allow them to relax for 24–48 hours.
- Tiles may be directional. Make sure the color matches across all tile. If not, try flipping or rotating the tiles 180 degrees.
- If needed, cut the tiles to fit using a straight edge and a sharp utility knife. Leave a small gap around the edges (roughly the thickness of the roll) to allow for expansion.
- Roll back one end of each tile and apply double-sided tape along the perimeter of the subfloor.
- Apply the tape directly to the subfloor—typically one line of tape on each seam and at the perimeter—to hold the flooring securely in place.
- Once the tape is applied, carefully press the rubber flooring onto it, smoothing out any bubbles and ensuring the edges align tightly. This method is ideal for DIY projects, leased spaces, or areas where permanent adhesives aren't suitable.
- Press the rubber back into place on top of the tape.

B: Full Adhesive (Glue-Down) Method
- Confirm that the subfloor is clean, dry, and free from any residue or moisture.
- Place the rubber tiles loosely on the floor to determine layout and allow them to relax for 24–48 hours before permanent installation.
- Tip: As with the tape method, check that all tiles align in both color and pattern. Rotate or flip tiles if there are noticeable differences.
- Use a straight edge and a sharp utility knife to cut the tiles to the required dimensions, leaving a perimeter gap for expansion.
- Roll up one end of a section and spread a thin layer of polyurethane-based adhesive over a 10-foot stretch of subfloor.
- Gradually unroll the tiles onto the adhesive in 10-foot sections, continuing until the entire length is in place.
- Once the tiles are fully adhered, go over the surface with a 100-pound roller to ensure strong bonding. If a roller isn’t available, walking over the surface using short, firm steps can also help.

Initial Cleaning Procedure
- Remove all surface soil, debris, sand, and grit by sweeping, dust
mopping or vacuuming. - Scrub floor with recommended Rubber Floor
Cleaner with a rectangular microfiber mop. A soft nylon brush may be
used in more heavily soiled areas. - DO NOT flood the floor with water as the Interlocking design will allow
water to pass through
Regular Cleaning Procedure
- Sweep, dust mop, or vacuum floor to remove surface soil, debris,
sand, and grit. - Damp mop with a microfiber mop using Rubber Floor Cleaner
Restorative Cleaning Procedure
- Sweep or vacuum to remove loose soil.
- Heavy scrub using a rotary scrubber or automatic scrubber with Brown or Black Stripper pad and solution of Rubber Floor Cleaner.
- Pick up solution with wet vac
- Rinse with clean water. Do not flood the floor.
- Allow the floor to thoroughly dry.
Unbox & Set Up
Tiles arrive ready to connect and set up. Most orders ship in boxes like this, though larger orders might arrive on pallets.
- Tile size: 24″ × 24″ — each tile covers 4 sq ft
- Thickness: 5/16″ (8mm, Black) or 3/8″ (9mm, all colors)
- Weight per tile: approx. 6 lbs (8mm) / 8 lbs (9mm) — light enough for one-person install
- Edges & corners: included and pre-cut with straight edges to sit flush against walls — no cutting or trimming needed. Corner and border pieces are cut as straight-edge tiles, not detachable add-ons.
How Much Double-Sided Tape You Need for Rubber Flooring
Use double-sided tape to help keep rubber flooring in place, especially on smooth surfaces or in high-traffic areas where slippage or movement is a concern.
-
Perimeter Only (light use):
- Tape the outer edges only.
- Use ~1 foot of tape per foot of room perimeter.
- Example: 10'x10' room = 40 ft of tape.
-
Perimeter + Cross Strips (medium use):
- Add tape strips across the floor every 3–4 ft.
- Example: 10'x10' room = ~70 ft of tape.
-
Grid Style (heavy use, gym equipment):
- Create a full grid every 2–3 ft in both directions.
- Example: 10'x10' room = 140+ ft of tape.
Quick Estimate by Room Size
- 100 sq ft: Light: 40 ft · Medium: 70 ft · Heavy: 140 ft
- 200 sq ft: Light: 60 ft · Medium: 100 ft · Heavy: 200 ft
- 400 sq ft: Light: 80 ft · Medium: 140 ft · Heavy: 280 ft
Pro Tips
- Tape comes in 25 ft, 50 ft, or 100 ft rolls — round up.
- Use tape made for rubber flooring and your subfloor type.
- Let flooring sit in the room for 24 hours before taping.
How Much Flooring Adhesive You Need for Rubber Flooring
If you're using flooring adhesive instead of tape, it's important to apply the correct amount based on the surface area and type of installation—full glue-down or perimeter-bond.
-
Perimeter-Bond Installation (light to medium use):
- Apply adhesive only around the edges of each tile or roll.
- Best for home gyms or spaces without heavy equipment.
- Requires less adhesive overall—roughly half the amount of a full glue-down.
-
Full Glue-Down Installation (heavy use or commercial):
- Adhesive is applied across the entire surface area.
- Ideal for high-traffic zones or rooms with heavy equipment.
- Provides the most secure bond but requires more product and prep time.
-
Adhesive Types:
- Use pressure-sensitive adhesive for easier repositioning.
- Use urethane adhesive for permanent, high-performance bonds.
- Follow manufacturer guidelines for trowel size and spread rate.
Quick Estimate by Coverage
- 1 gallon (128 oz): Covers ~150–200 sq ft (full coverage)
- Perimeter-bond: Covers ~250–300 sq ft per gallon
- Rolls & sheets: May require more adhesive depending on thickness
Pro Tips
- Always clean and dry the subfloor before applying adhesive.
- Use the correct trowel notch size for your adhesive type.
- Let adhesive cure fully before moving equipment onto the floor.
