Rooftops gyms in residential complexes and open-air gyms are it in public parks ( like the ones being developed in Delhi over the past few years) or commercial rooftop ones are quite a rage these days. The public seems to be leaning towards working out in fresh air, they want gyms but they also want to work out in a highly oxygenated area rather than being crammed up in four walls with nothing noteworthy to see. Higher oxygen levels are also linked with the feeling of freshness and have also been known to help combat depression along with mental and physical fatigue. Rubber Rolls, interlocking rubber tiles and gym rubber flooring are the best-suited options to install in any kind of open-air gym or work out zone. These floorings can withstand the forces of nature like wind, dust, and rain without breaking a sweat. Most public gyms have a lot of footfall primarily because of the ease of access but even in such conditions rubber rolls and tiles have been known to last for 5 to 7 years without any major wear and tear. The design on these is, however, a slightly debatable topic, the colors chosen are darker or bland as brighter or even lighter colors wither away faster. The thickness of rubber-based floorings in public gyms is usually about 12mm to handle the public footfall and machine grinding that these places endure.

Home gyms, on the other hand, require rubber flooring which are more designer in their outlook, the color patterns, the shape, and the groove cuts should be classy so as to enhance the savvy look of the room after all the gym should look like an extension of your thoughts and should add to the feel of your room making it look comfortable but also set you in the mood to work out at the same time.

Rubber flooring for gyms is economical not in terms of price of purchase but also in terms of durability as it lasts for about 7 to 10 years in a residential setting and 5 to 7 years in a commercial/public setting. The flooring does not require any bleaching or polishing or cleaning liquids/chemicals all it requires is just a soft moist mop run over its surface once in a while. This will keep the flooring clean and free from any crumb falls on its top layer. Rubber-based flooring is the only flooring that can absorb impacts and noise at the same time making it a wise choice. Installing rubber flooring is a task which should be done by experts and you can arrange for one to visit your premises either by getting in touch with a manufacturer or from the retail shop that you purchase it from.
