Frequently Asked Questions

How many tiles do I need?

Each tile is 0.25m², so you need 4 tiles per square metre. Measure your room in square metres and multiply by 4. A 3m x 4m room (12m²) needs 48 tiles. Add 5-10% extra for cuts.

Is 16mm suitable for weightlifting?

16mm is suitable for most gym activities including moderate weight training with dumbbells. For heavy Olympic lifting with dropped barbells, consider our thicker 17-18mm options designed specifically for maximum impact absorption.

Can I use these in a garage workshop?

Absolutely. These tiles are excellent for workshop use — they reduce standing fatigue, protect dropped tools, resist oil and chemicals, and provide a comfortable working surface for extended periods.

Are these smaller tiles as stable as larger mats?

Yes, the precision puzzle lock edges connect as securely as larger tiles. Once installed, the floor functions as a single unified surface. The connection is strong enough to withstand intense exercise.

Can I take these with me when I move?

Yes, since no adhesive is needed, you simply disconnect the tiles and relocate them. They're fully reusable and reconfigurable in your new space.

How do I cut tiles around obstacles?

Use a sharp utility knife and straight edge. The smaller tile format means you're cutting less material and wasting less when fitting around pillars, pipes, or doorways.
