Virgin Rubber Interlocking Weight Room Flooring Tiles – Rubber flooring is essential in protecting your floors and the equipment you've invested in. Selecting the right product for your location is paramount in the products ability to perform and protect properly. Choosing a product that is too thin or falls apart from heavy weight drop is not uncommon in the pursuit of affordable gym flooring. However, properly educating yourself on your rubber flooring needs and spending a little bit more will often greatly expand the life of your rubber flooring investment as well as provide the protection needed to avoid damage.

Mitchell Rubber Best Flex Interlocking Flooring Tiles are a high quality protective flooring solution that offers a 7/16" thick protective barrier and brilliant virgin rubber colors not available anywhere else in the flooring industry. Each high quality tile features a non-slip pebble grain finish that resembles that of football leather. Corners and edges feature a built in beveled edge that reduces tripping hazards and makes transitioning your interlocking gym mats to other flooring surfaces easy and aesthetically pleasing.

Virgin Rubber Info and Advantages – Virgin rubber does not use any form of recycled rubber from tires or any other source. Its formula is primarily made up of virgin rubber, synthetic rubber polymer EPDM and SBR and about 5% crude rubber. Some virgin rubber will include a fire retardant additive to make it suitable for installations like hospitals that can have stringent guidelines and restrictions on building materials used. 400 lbs. of this rubber formula is put into a mixer for ten minutes of constant mixing. This mixture, or batter, is transported to a press that is heated by steam to 350 degrees. This press exerts 2,000 PSI and together with the high heat completes the vulcanization, or cooking, process in about ten minutes. As with any mold, there is always excess material around the edges. So once the virgin rubber flooring tiles exit the press they are trimmed clean and then put on a cooling rack. One of the biggest selling points of virgin rubber is the esthetics. Both diamond plate and interlocking tiles are available in rich solid colors provided by a mixture of natural rubber pigments and iron oxides that is present throughout the entire tile and not just on the surface. Virgin rubber is another very resilient material that demonstrates a tensile strength of not less than 890 PSI and a compression recovery testing yield no less than 90%, which is ideal for weight drop. Virgin rubber is suitable for home gyms, training studios and commercial gyms. Virgin is also non-porous and does not require a sealant.
