9202S EcoGym Floor Straight Edge 2 cm – Recycled Rubber Technical Flooring
Technical flooring made from agglomerated ultrafine recycled rubber granules with straight edge and beveled edge. Designed to cushion the fall of free weights such as kettlebells, dumbbells, and barbells, EcoGym Floor 9202S represents, through its construction and finish, the pinnacle of excellence in the market for monochrome straight-edge recycled rubber tiles.
– High shock absorption capacity: excellent comfort during floor exercises.
– Excellent grip and stability during workouts, even with sweat on the floor.
– Exceptional mechanical resistance, with fewer cuts and incisions compared to other types of flooring.
– Beveled edge: a treatment that creates an inclined edge, minimizing the visibility of gaps between tiles.
Recycled Rubber Granules
The shock absorption capacity, excellent comfort during floor exercises, and excellent grip even with sweat on the floor are direct results of the ultrafine granular composition. The use of recycled rubber not only represents a virtuous reuse of used materials but also positively impacts production costs. It is important to note that the shock absorption capacity must be adequately considered when the flooring is used as protection for an existing floor. A few millimeters of rubber cannot completely absorb every type of impact. The force from the fall of a barbell loaded with dozens of kg will always be partially transferred to the underlying floor.
Monolayer – Ultrafine Granules
The use of ultrafine rubber powder of the highest quality allows for the creation of a compact, stable, and comfortable-to-touch monolayer tile. This solution is more cost-effective compared to double-layer tiles, which require the production and bonding of two rubber layers. The superior quality of the ultrafine powder is achieved through meticulous processing that removes impurities such as stones and non-rubber elements, ensuring a homogeneous and pure composition essential for the production of precise, defect-free tiles.
Monochrome Straight Edge with Bevel
EcoGym Floor 9201S represents the pinnacle of excellence in the market for monochrome straight-edge recycled rubber tiles. This constructive superiority is determined not only by the use of ultrafine rubber granules of the highest quality, almost free of non-rubber impurities, but also by the refined finish of the tiles and rigorous quality controls. The use of high-precision molds, regular maintenance, accurate temperature control, and precise adhesive dosing are essential for producing tiles with reduced tolerances and minimal aesthetic defects.
In technical jargon, the bevel present on the four edges of the rubber tile is called a “bevel.” The bevel creates an inclined edge, minimizing the visibility of gaps between tiles when they are laid edge to edge. However, the installation of straight-edge tiles, especially in sports settings, can still lead to the formation of gaps due to thermal deformation of the rubber, particularly if the tiles are not fixed with adhesives or double-sided tape is not used at the perimeter points.
To effectively minimize the formation of gaps, careful installation is required. The tiles should be laid at the lowest temperature at which the room will be used, with no gaps between them and with maximum pressure, even against the walls. The use of small pieces of double-sided tape at the perimeter points can help improve the stability of the tiles.
Other characteristics.
EcoGym is produced without the use of dangerous substances ref. CEE 76/769 and without the use of adhesives containing formaldehyde ref. EN 717/1.
The tiles measure mm 975 x 975, the interlocking assembly and trimming of the joints involve a small dimensional loss. To approximately calculate the number of tiles required, 20% can be added to the area’s square meters: e.g., 30 square meters + 20% = 36 tiles.
As far as cleaning is concerned, it is sufficient to vacuum and then wash the floor with water and detergent in minimum quantities. Deposits or white marks may occur due to the close presence of dusty areas. In these cases, scrubbing brushes with built-in sponge are useful. For surfaces larger than 150 square meters, we recommend using floor washers with rotating brushes to wash and collect dirty water.
