I have a carpet covering my gym floor, but not too happy with it....
That is probably the best possible flooring for the money. Wood will dent,chip and split, vinyl will get sliced and dented, tile will also. Carpet is quiet and will absorb the shock of the weights nicely. A good commercial piece will last a long time. Other than that, the foam type pads that you piec together look nice but come apart easily and cost a small fortune.

I would say indoor-outdoor carpet would be the most comfortable and durable

Where can I buy interlocking foam/rubber flooring around Montreal, Qc locally? (ie for home gym floor)?
Nov 30, 2006 by rovellm81 | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I am looking to purchase interlocking foam or rubber flooring for a home gym. I am based in Montreal, Quebec and I need to find a vendor that is local to this area from whom I can buy. I would consider going as far as Ottawa to the west and Quebec City to the north but would prefer not buying from the USA due to having to pay additional fees (duty at border, etc).
Some examples of the product or similar products that I am interested in:
The specs are pretty simple. I am looking for something that will cover an area of 15 feet by 13 feet. It needs to be durable, shock absorbent as the type of gym I will be doing on it is intense aerobics and plyometrics (lots of jumping around, need to protect my joints/back as current flooring is cement). Thanks!
Any of the large home improvement stores should carry those. Here, Lowes and Home Depot carry them.

What are the chemicals responsible for the smell of rubber (specifically gym flooring) and are they toxic?
Feb 05, 2008 by fuzzer | Posted in Chemistry
The smell of rubber is owing to organic compounds of nitrogen and sulfur used as antioxidants and antiozonants.
Gyms are usually floored with hard wood, stained and varnished. They shouldn't have a smell.
