Performance Benefits
Acoustic Dampening: Significantly reduces the noise of dropped weights and ambient gym sounds, making it ideal for residential garage gyms or multi-unit commercial buildings.
Impact Protection: Protects the underlying subfloor (concrete, wood) from the high-force impacts of falling dumbbells and bumper plates.
Underfoot Comfort: Provides a dense yet forgiving surface that reduces fatigue on the joints during standing exercises and high-impact plyometrics.
Hygienic Surface: The non-porous nature of the recycled rubber makes it resistant to sweat and spilled liquids, preventing the growth of mold or odors.
Maintenance and Care
Installation: Can be installed using Regupol Double-Sided Tape (3" x 75') for a semi-permanent bond or Regupol Adhesive (2.5 or 5 Gallon) for a permanent, commercial-grade installation.
Initial Cleaning: Upon installation, there may be a slight "new rubber" smell. This typically dissipates within a week in a well-ventilated space.
Daily Cleaning: Use a vacuum or broom to remove dust and chalk. For liquid cleaning, use a damp mop with a neutral pH cleaner. Avoid using bleach or highly acidic cleaners, which can degrade the rubber over time.
Cutting: For custom fits around rack uprights or corners, use a sharp utility knife or an oscillating tool with a razor blade. Locking a fresh blade into the tool allows it to glide through even 1/2" thick rubber with ease.
Warranty Information
5-Year Limited Warranty: Regupol Aktiv Flooring is backed by a five-year warranty against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Return Policy: Because these rolls are made to order, returns are typically subject to a 25% restocking fee.
Durability Guarantee: Designed to withstand years of heavy commercial traffic and regular cleaning without crumbling or losing its slip-resistant properties.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which thickness should I choose? A: 1/4" or 3/8" is suitable for general fitness and cardio areas. 1/2" is the standard for most garage gyms and CrossFit affiliates using bumper plates. 3/4" is recommended for high-impact areas involving heavy iron plates or competitive powerlifting.
Q: Do I need to glue it down? A: For smaller home gyms, high-quality double-sided flooring tape is often sufficient. For large commercial spaces or areas with high dynamic movement (sled pushes, agility drills), a full glue-down installation using Regupol adhesive is highly recommended.
Q: Does it smell like horse stall mats? A: No. Regupol Aktiv is specifically manufactured for indoor fitness use and has a significantly lower odor profile than agricultural horse stall mats, which often contain higher levels of sulfur.
Q: Can I use it outdoors? A: Regupol Aktiv is primarily designed for indoor use. While it is weather-resistant, prolonged exposure to UV rays and extreme temperature fluctuations can affect the longevity and appearance of the flooring.
