Care and Maintenance Document

When installing Sport-Loc Rubber Tiles gym flooring, there are two common methods of installation:

No Cut Kits - No Tools Needed.

In this method of easy installation, the correct number of tiles are chosen so that they fit the closest dimensions under your room size with no cutting of tiles required. Rubber tiles that can be used for this method include center cut tiles with 2 detachable edge pieces for flexible installation.

Directions:

Clean your sub floor so that it is free of all dust, dirt, grease or other foreign material.
Start in one corner of the room with a corner tile and add border tiles outward along the adjacent walls.
Add center, corner, and border tiles where you see fit.

Wall to Wall Installation

In this installation method, tiles are chosen so that they fit the closest size to your room size. Some cutting of tiles may be needed.

Tools needed:

Utility Knife
Straight Edge

Directions:

Clean your subfloor so that it is free of dust, dirt, grease, or other foreign material. It is also recommended that the subfloor be free of moisture when gluing your flooring down.
Begin laying the interlocking tiles along the chalk lines, snapping the locks together as you go.
Leave the perimeter of the room open until the field is installed.
After the field is covered, go back and cut in tiles along the walls in the room. Leaving a gap at the wall roughly the thickness of the tiles being used is often recommended to account for the expansion and contraction of the floor tiles in high-temperature range climates.

Please Note:

If you are using a tile system with corner, center, and border tiles available for a wall-to-wall install, it is usually easiest to start in one corner of the room with a corner tile, line the adjacent walls with border tiles, and fill in the rest of the room with center cut tiles.
When piecing interlocking tiles together, adhesives are usually not used since the weight of the locked-together product is usually enough to keep the floor tiles from moving. However, if you do experience some movement and would like to ensure that the tiles do not slide at all, some double-sided carpet tape can be used around the perimeter of the installation to prevent any movement.

Care and Maintenance Document

3/8" Sport-Lock Rubber Tiles are a very durable rubber flooring choice, as well as easy to maintain and keep clean. Maintenance for interlocking gym tiles includes:

Vacuuming or sweeping any loose crumbs, dust or debris from the flooring surface when necessary.
Occasionally damp mopping with a mild soap and water solution. Recommended soaps are Dawn dish detergent or Tide laundry detergent.
Note: Do not use any solvent or oil style cleaners such as Pinesol, Lysol, Murphy’s Oil Soap, WD40, paint thinner, etc. since these types of cleaners will break down the flooring over time.

Customer Questions And Answer

Our 3/8" Sport-Lock Rubber tiles can be used as flooring in a residential kitchen. These tiles will provide comfort under foot and are slip resistant when wet.

Each 3/8" Sport-Loc Rubber Tile comes with removable edging so you can create a finished look. Each tile can be made into a corner, border, or center tile.

The differences between the 3/8" Sport-Lock Rubber Tiles and our 3/8" Rubber Gym Tiles is that the Rubber Gym Tiles are a vulcanized tile. That means they are non-porous and are denser than the Sport-Lock Tiles. This gives the Rubber Gym Tiles a leg up when it comes to dropping heavy weights. The Rubber Gym Tiles also are a different size compared to the Sport-Loc Rubber Tiles. The Sport-Lock Tiles are 3' x 3' while the Rubber Gym Tiles are 2' x 2' and 4' x 4'. The other main difference is the surface of the tiles. The Sport-Lock Tiles have a flat surface that helps to give you a more consistent look whereas the Rubber Gym Tiles have a textured top which can give you a very inconsistent look. Both come in corner, border, and center tiles, but the Sport-Lock Tiles have an added feature having two removable border pieces. This means any tile can be made into a corner, border, or center tile, whereas the Rubber Gym Tiles would need to be ordered in that manner. The last difference is that the Rubber Gym Tiles can come beveled. This could be beneficial if you are trying to match up the tiles to another flooring surface or at entryways.

Our 3/8" Sport-Lock Rubber Tiles are not hazardous and are made from recycled rubber with a urethane binder to keep the tile together.

This may need to be done a few times to eliminate the smell.

Our 3/8" Sport-Lock Rubber Tiles are great as a basement floor. Since these tiles are interlocking tiles, they would be easy to move if and when your basement floods.

The arrows on the bottom of the 3/8" Sport-Lock Rubber Tiles are there to ensure that grain of your floor goes in the right direction.

So if you do have to put the arrow in a different direction, the tiles will still interlock but the floor may not look as seamless. If you have to do this, we suggest doing it in ...
