Gym Flooring: Performance From The Ground Up

Top Recommendation: SPC Vinyl Click

The professional choice for cardio zones and machine areas.

For modern gyms, SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) Vinyl Click is the superior base layer. Unlike foam tiles which can look cheap, or wood which absorbs sweat, SPC provides a professional, sealed surface. Its rigid core offers excellent stability, while the waterproof surface ensures sweat can be wiped away instantly without lingering odours.

• Sweat & Water Resistant: 100% waterproof surface creates a hygienic barrier against sweat and spilled water bottles.
• Easy Sanitisation: Smooth, sealed surface withstands frequent cleaning with antibacterial sprays.
• Superior Stability: The rigid stone core provides a solid, non-bouncy platform essential for stability.
• Scratch Resistant: Commercial wear layer handles High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) movements and equipment use.
• Professional Aesthetic: Create a high-end “boutique gym” look with realistic wood or stone designs.

Heavy Weight Zones

Protecting your subfloor.

While our SPC Vinyl is incredibly durable and capable of supporting heavy static machines (like treadmills, rowing machines, and multi-gyms), no decorative floor is designed to withstand the repeated dropping of heavy Olympic barbells or dumbbells.

For free-weight zones, we highly recommend laying specialist rubber gym mats on top of your vinyl flooring. This protects the rigid core of the floor below and absorbs the shock and noise of the weights.

Why We Avoid Laminate in Gyms

Hygiene and safety.

We generally do not recommend Laminate for gym environments. If sweat is left to sit on laminate joints frequently, it can cause swelling over time. Furthermore, laminate surfaces can be slippery when working out in socks. SPC Vinyl provides superior waterproofing and better surface texture for grip.

Design Styles for Fitness

The Industrial Gym For weights rooms and garage conversions, Stone or Concrete-effect SPC tiles create a tough, gritty urban aesthetic that looks clean, professional, and hides scuffs well.

The Luxury Home Suite Match your gym flooring to the rest of your house. If your hallway is Herringbone, continuing this into your home gym makes it feel like a luxury extension of your living space rather than a cold add-on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I put heavy treadmills on it? Yes. SPC Vinyl has a very high compressive strength thanks to its stone core. It can easily support the weight of heavy cardio equipment and spin bikes without indenting.

How do I clean it after a workout? Hygiene is simple with SPC. A damp mop with a neutral cleaner or a quick spray-and-wipe with gym-safe disinfectant will keep the floor sterile and looking new.

Is it suitable for garage gyms? Yes. Because SPC Vinyl is unaffected by humidity and temperature fluctuations (unlike laminate or real wood), it is the perfect choice for garage conversions that might be colder than the main house.
