How a New Zealand Gym Transformed with Our Rubber Tiles?

A crowded gym with worn floors is more than an eyesore—it’s a safety risk and a dealbreaker for members.

A gym in New Zealand completely upgraded its facility by installing our high-performance rubber tiles, gaining not only safety and durability but also a modern, professional look that helped grow its membership.

A gym owner in New Zealand came to us with a problem: members were complaining about slippery floors, visible wear and tear, and constant noise during weight training sessions. After evaluating several suppliers, they chose Lanhefloor. Why? Because we don’t just sell flooring—we build reliable solutions. Here’s how the transformation unfolded.

Why did the New Zealand gym choose rubber tiles over other options?

Worn-out flooring, unhappy members, and noise complaints made upgrades urgent.

Rubber tiles were selected for their durability, noise absorption, safety performance, and sleek design, especially in high-impact zones like free weight areas.

Dive deeper: What makes rubber tiles ideal for gym renovations?

The gym was divided into zones: weightlifting, functional training, yoga, and reception. For the weightlifting area, we supplied 30mm-thick Tiny Granules Rubber Tiles, made from fine SBR granules. These offered excellent shock absorption, non-slip safety, and easy cleaning. For functional areas, we used Composite Rubber Tiles, with a laminated EPDM surface that delivered both strength and style.

Here’s a breakdown of how they selected and used our products:

We guided them through installation using glue-down methods for tiles and double-sided tape for the rubber roll areas. In just a week, the gym was transformed.

What problems did the gym solve by using Lanhefloor tiles?

Before the renovation, the gym struggled with safety complaints and frequent floor damage.

Lanhefloor rubber tiles solved noise, safety, and maintenance problems while improving aesthetics and member satisfaction.

Dive deeper: How did our tiles address the gym’s core pain points?

• Noise Control: Dropping weights used to echo through the gym. Our 30–40mm rubber tiles cut the sound down by over 60%.
• Safety: With high slip resistance and EN1177 certification, our tiles reduced slip incidents, a key factor in retaining members.
• Durability: Unlike foam mats that needed replacing every few months, our rubber tiles withstand years of heavy use.
• Maintenance: Daily cleaning is easier thanks to the non-porous surface, saving staff time.

The gym reported fewer complaints and higher member retention in the first three months after the upgrade.

How do our rubber tiles support gyms that plan to expand?

Many gyms delay upgrades fearing complex installation and business interruption.

Our modular interlocking rubber tiles and fast delivery allow phased upgrades with minimal downtime, making expansion easier.

Dive deeper: Why are Lanhefloor tiles perfect for growing gyms?

We know expansion can be stressful. That’s why our interlocking tiles were designed for flexibility. In New Zealand, the gym added a new group fitness area two months after the initial renovation. They ordered matching interlocking tiles from us, which arrived in 14 days.

Here’s how our tiles supported their growth:

By working with Lanhefloor, the gym avoided service disruption and maintained consistent flooring across expanded areas.
