How to calculate your gym flooring needs?
Calculate your gym’s total floor area, divide by zone type, match thickness to use, and add a 5–10% buffer for cuts.

- Match thickness:
- 20–50mm for impact
- 4–8mm for light use
- Buffer: +5–10% for cutting waste
- Choose formats:
- Tiles: 500×500mm or 1000×1000mm
