Rubber Flooring Questions, Answered by the Factory

Standard MOQ is 500 m² per color/SKU for regular gym rolls and interlocking tiles. For stocked colors we accept 500 m² mixed with other SKUs in the same container. OEM custom fleck blends start from 500 m².

For free-weight zones and deadlift platforms choose 15–20 mm (or 30–50 mm crumb bumper mats). Machine areas work well with 8–10 mm rolls. Functional training and stretching zones are comfortable at 6–8 mm. Tell us your equipment list and we will map a thickness plan per zone.

Yes. We compound EPDM color flecks in-house and match any RAL/Pantone reference or a photo of your existing floor. Custom blends start from 500 m², with a physical sample tile approved by you before mass production.

Yes — A4-size cuttings of rolls, tiles and pavers are free; you only pay the courier charge (we use your DHL/FedEx account if available). Sample lead time is 3–5 days, and the courier cost is refunded against your first order.

Stocked colors: 7–15 days after deposit. Custom fleck colors: 15–25 days including sample approval. We ship FOB Tianjin or Qingdao, and can quote CIF/DDP for major ports. A 20GP container holds roughly 800–1,100 m² depending on thickness.

Yes — mixed-SKU 20GP/40HQ loading is our standard service for distributors. Combine gym rolls, interlocking tiles, outdoor pavers and marble mats in one shipment to test multiple lines with a single freight cost.

We provide SGS test reports (flammability, wear, impact absorption), CE documentation, non-toxic & non-irritating certification from the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine, plus ISO 9001/14001/45001. Full document packs support government and gym-chain tenders.

Yes — floors are molded from recycled tire granules refined in-house, topped with virgin EPDM color flecks. Our recycling process holds 26 national patents, and finished floors are odor-controlled and safe for indoor gyms and kindergartens.

Yes. We produce under your brand with private-label packaging, printed cartons and pallet wrapping from 500 m². Neutral packaging is also available for traders who prefer it.

Every batch passes density, hardness, tensile and elongation tests in our lab. Pre-shipment we send you production photos, a loading video, and third-party inspection (SGS/BV/TÜV) can be arranged at your cost if required.

Standard terms: 30% TT deposit, 70% against B/L copy. Irrevocable LC at sight is accepted for orders above USD 30,000. We also support Alibaba Trade Assurance orders through our 9-year Gold Supplier store.

We currently ship to 18+ countries with the largest volumes to Vietnam, the United States, South Korea and Thailand, and we are familiar with each market's import documentation, labeling and common standard requirements (ASTM, EN, KS and TCVN-related test requests).

It depends on three variables: thickness, product type and order volume. As a factory-direct reference: 3-10 mm rubber rolls are the lowest cost per m2 for large flat areas; 15-25 mm granular or fleck tiles cost more per m2 but need no adhesive and handle heavy impact; 40-50 mm shock-pad systems are the premium tier for free-weight zones. Filling a full 20 ft or 40 ft HQ container (roughly 2,000-3,000 m2 of tiles, or 3,000 m2+ of rolls) typically cuts unit price and freight per m2 by about 30-40% versus mixed LCL shipments. Send us your area, target thickness and destination port - we reply with an FOB quote within 24 hours.

For budget-driven projects, use 3-6 mm rubber rolls in cardio and machine zones and reserve thicker tiles (15-25 mm) for free-weight and dumbbell areas only - this mixed-thickness zoning typically saves 30-40% versus paving the entire gym with 25 mm tiles. Rolls are 1.25 m wide in 10-20 m lengths with almost no cutting waste, and one 40 ft HQ container holds about 3,000 m2 of rolls - the most freight-efficient format we ship. Plan tile layout to minimize cuts in corners and around columns.

Three hidden drivers: rubber content (high-SBR or EPDM blends cost more than rubber-powder mixes), thickness tolerance (a nominal 15 mm tile can legally measure 13.5-15 mm), and whether testing is included - our full GB 36246-2018 safety panel (reports GT250048 series) is tested on the actual export product, not a reference sample. Comparing quotes on thickness alone often backfires: a denser, correctly cured tile lasts 2-3x longer in a commercial gym.

Yes. Our hot-pressed recycled rubber granular pavers are rated for continuous use at surface temperatures up to 60°C without softening or deformation — the factory pressing process gives uniform density, so there is no weak binder layer to soften first (full test panel GB 36246-2018, report GT250048). A reference installation in a Thai municipal park has stayed intact, level and slip-resistant through three years of year-round tropical heat and humidity.

Yes — pavers are the practical choice for Gulf-region walkways, plazas and playgrounds. Recommended thickness: 15–20 mm for pedestrian walkways, 20–30 mm for plazas and outdoor fitness corners, 30–50 mm for playgrounds (matched to equipment critical fall height under EN 1177 / ASTM F1292). Pavers interlock on compacted sand or crushed stone with no adhesive needed, install fast on large outdoor sites, and individual units can be lifted and replaced. We ship FOB Tianjin to Jebel Ali, Dammam and other Gulf ports; MOQ 500 m² (about 2,000 pieces of 500×500 mm).

Indicative FOB Tianjin prices, standard EPDM fleck colors, October 2026 factory price list: 4 mm ≈ $5.4-5.8/m², 5 mm ≈ $6.7-7.4, 6 mm ≈ $8.1-8.9, 8 mm ≈ $10.5-11.3, 9 mm ≈ $11.7-12.3, 10 mm ≈ $12.8-13.8 (3 mm ≈ $3.8-4.8 ex-works). Quantity alone can swing the price ~10%: 6 mm quotes $8.85/m² at 180 m² but $8.10/m² at 2,500 m². Other movers: density (1,050-1,150 kg/m³ — always ask for it in writing), EPDM fleck ratio, raw material grade. FOB excludes pallets (~$1/m²), inland haulage and port charges. Send thickness, m², color and destination port for an exact itemized quote within 24 hours.
