How much does it cost to floor a home gym?
Measure the room, multiply the length by the width, then choose the smallest pack that covers that area. The extra tiles give you spares for cuts and future repairs.
| Room | Size | Area | Best pack | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spare room | 3m × 3m | 9m² | 16 tiles | £374.66 |
| Medium home gym | 3m × 4m | 12m² | 16 tiles | £374.66 |

Flooring a small area
The smallest Colour Fleck or Blackout pack is 16 tiles. If you only need a small training zone, such as 2m × 2m under a bench and dumbbells, our Patterned tiles come in packs of 1, 2, 4 and 8. Four Patterned tiles cost £225.35. For anything over 6m², a 16-tile pack of Colour Fleck or Blackout usually works out cheaper and leaves you spare tiles.
How much does commercial gym flooring cost?
Larger areas use a mix of packs. Using the cheapest mix at the time of writing:

How to work out your flooring cost
- Measure the room in metres, for example 5m × 3m.
- Work out the area: 5 × 3 = 15m².
- Add a little for cuts: about 5% for a simple room and up to 10% for a room with pillars, alcoves or odd angles. 15m² plus 5% is about 16m².
- Choose the pack: 16m² is one 16-tile pack, £374.66.
Because our tiles are 1m × 1m, the area in square metres is the number of tiles. Some flooring is sold as 50cm × 50cm tiles, where you need four tiles per square metre, so always compare prices per m².
Is 20mm flooring thick enough?
For most home gyms, garage gyms and commercial strength areas, yes. 20mm rubber is firm enough to keep racks, benches and machines stable, and thick enough to protect the floor under dumbbells, plates and cardio kit. It suits:
- Adjustable and fixed dumbbells
- Benches and dumbbell racks
- Power racks, Smith machines and cable machines
- Treadmills, bikes and rowers
If you regularly drop heavy barbells from overhead or deadlift very heavy, add a lifting platform or extra protection in that one area rather than buying thicker flooring for the whole room. It keeps the total cost down.
Do you need to cover the whole room?
No. Covering only your training area is the easiest way to save money. As a guide, allow:
- Dumbbells and a stand: about 1.5m × 1.5m
- Dumbbells and a bench: about 2m × 2m
- Power rack: the rack footprint plus room to load plates and move a bench in and out
- Deadlift area: about 2m × 3m
If the flooring stops short of a walkway, check the edge doesn't become a trip hazard.
Costs people forget
- Floor preparation: the floor underneath should be clean, dry and level. Fix damp before you lay rubber over it.
- Cutting tools: a sharp utility knife, spare blades and a metal straight edge for the edge tiles.
- Height: the floor rises by 20mm. Check door clearance and, if you're buying a rack, re-check the fit with our rack height calculator.
Delivery is free to UK addresses, so there's no delivery charge to add.
