Buy Commercial Gym Flooring from China: 5 Things to Know Before You Order
Buy commercial gym flooring from China — and save big on cost. But price isn’t everything. If you skip the due diligence, you risk supplier scams, quality failures, or shipping delays.
If you’re a gym owner, procurement officer, or distributor planning to source bulk gym rubber flooring from Chinese suppliers, this guide will help you avoid common mistakes and find the right factory partner.
1. Is the Product Quality Really Reliable?
Yes — but only if you choose a factory with in-house manufacturing and real certifications.
| Product Type | Best Use | Feature | Thickness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiny Granule Rubber Tile | Weight Zones | High Impact Absorption | 15–50mm |
| Composite Rubber Tile | Premium Gyms | EPDM Laminated | 15–50mm |
| Rubber Roll | Cardio/Yoga | Seamless Look | 4–12mm |
| Puzzle Rubber Tile | Modular Gyms | Interlocking | 10–25mm |
Look for EN1177 and CE certifications to ensure compliance with safety and EU standards. Learn more in our article: Certifications Your Gym Floor Should Have in Europe.
2. Why Customization Ability Matters Most
Factories with strong customization ability = factories with real production lines. Traders can’t modify specs — manufacturers can.
- Can they make a 35mm tile with mixed speckles?
- Can they brand rolls for a gym franchise?
- Can they laminate EPDM on a non-standard thickness?
At Lanhefloor, we’ve made custom EPDM tiles for Australian premium gyms and shipped private-label rolls to the Middle East.
3. What Customization Options Are Available?
You’re not stuck with black + grey. Here’s what we can customize:
- Size & Thickness: 500×500mm or 1000×1000mm; 4–50mm thickness
- Color: SBR speckled, EPDM 15%–100%, or fully colored tiles
- Finish: Matte, smooth, or dual-layer composite
- Packaging: Paperboard layering, pallet wrap, logo printing

4. What Certifications and Tests Really Matter?
Don’t just trust a PDF. Verify real test data and certification numbers.
| Certificate | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| EN1177 | Impact Absorption Safety |
| CE | EU Compliance (fire, emissions, etc.) |
| Slip/Fire/Density Tests | Real lab data, not promises |
You can verify CE numbers via the EU NANDO database.
5. What About Shipping, Payment, and Lead Time?
Many orders fail not because of product — but because of bad communication during shipping.
Key Tips:
- Lead time: 7–15 days for most bulk orders
- Shipping: 20–35 days (based on region)
- Payment Terms: 30/70 TT or LC
- Packaging: Tile pallets, roll film wrap, bagged granules
Our process at Lanhefloor includes photo confirmation, pallet labeling, and real-time container tracking.
Conclusion
It’s absolutely possible to buy commercial gym flooring from China without headaches — if you verify quality, confirm factory capacity, demand certifications, and communicate shipping details early.
