Gym Flooring Project in Croatia｜500㎡ Composite Rubber Tile Installation
Many gym owners think all rubber floors look the same.
But after opening, noise, cracking, and fast wear quickly become problems.
This 500㎡ commercial gym project in Croatia used 15% colored EPDM speckled composite rubber tiles to balance durability, safety, and long-term appearance.
This project is a good example of how a proper flooring structure helps commercial gyms avoid common problems after opening.

This flooring system fits well for gyms operating long hours with steady foot traffic.
