According to different densities, rubber floor mats can be divided into two types: high-density and ordinary density.
The particles of high-density rubber floor mats are finer and the surface is smoother (glossy), giving them a more "porcelain solid" appearance. This high-density rubber floor mat is usually dominated by black gray (with black gray as the base color and colored dots), and indoor gyms generally use this smooth surface high-density rubber floor mat.
The particles of ordinary density rubber floor mats are relatively large, with a rough surface (frosted surface) and average density, usually in black, red, green, and yellow. They are often used in outdoor areas such as kindergarten playgrounds and running tracks.

According to different thicknesses, rubber floor mats come in various sizes ranging from 1.5 to 5 centimeters (one size every 0.5 centimeters). The minimum thickness of high-density rubber floor mats is generally around 2 centimeters. The thickness of rubber floor mats used in indoor gyms is mostly around 2-3 centimeters, while the thickness of ordinary density rubber floor mats used outdoors is around 1.5-3 centimeters.
In addition, the weight of rubber mats is relatively heavy, with a weight of about 16-18 kilograms per square meter (2 centimeters thick). When shopping online, most stores do not offer free shipping, so the logistics cost of mats is also a considerable expense.

How to install and maintain
The installation of rubber mats is very simple (rubber mats may have a rubber smell, so it is best to air dry them outdoors before laying). As long as the ground is flat, whether it is a solid soil ground, cement ground, or tile ground, it can be laid. In addition, if paving on a cement floor, it is necessary to first apply glue to the back of the floor mat; If laying on a tile floor, use adhesive cotton to stick it.
If the thickness of the rubber floor mat is more than 2.5 centimeters, due to its heavy weight, there is no need to use glue or adhesive cotton when laying it, it can be directly laid on the ground.
