BLK BOX Challenger Gym Tile

Overview

The BLK BOX Challenger Gym Tile is made up of a recycled rubber base with a high density 2.5mm EPDM top wear layer. This 1m x 1m x 20mm gym tile ensures athlete safety, offering enhanced shock absorption in weight drop applications and an antislip finish. The Challenger Tile is low maintenance and does not require any adhesives when installing.

Construction

The BLK BOX Challenger Gym Tile is a heterogeneous (dual layer) construction. Constructed using a 17.5mm recycled rubber base bonded to a 2.5mm EPDM top Sheet, giving an overall thickness of 20mm.

The recycled rubber base is extremely shock absorbent which helps with the dampening of sound, impact and vibrations generated from heavy weights. The high-density EPDM top sheet is exceptionally versatile and offers up a thick, smooth, and durable surface making it the ideal gym tile for home gyms or commercial training facilities.

The bevel on the BLK BOX Challenger Gym Tiles edges are great for removing any subfloor flaws, whilst the underside of the tile helps reduce weight and smooth out the installation process. The footprint of the Challenger Gym Tiles is 1m x 1m ensuring an effective and efficient installation process.

Sound & Shock Absorption

The BLK BOX Challenger Gym Tile can help reduce the noise and vibration levels generated by the persistent impact in free weight and Olympic lifting areas. This can help minimise disruption to the surrounding areas and reduce the impact on your floor and equipment.

Important Installation Notes

For full guidance, please follow the downloadable Operation & Maintenance Manual

WARNING – It is essential that the laying area should be at a constant temperature between 18°C and 27°C for at least 48 hours prior, during, and for at least 24 hours after the installation

Before Installation:

1. Installation space must be climate controlled between 18°C and 27°C. 

2. Acclimatise tiles inside the installation space for 48 hours prior to installation

3. Un-even sub floors will spoil the appearance of the finished installation, as undulations with show through the tile. Flatness should not exceed 4mm within a 3m circular span

4. Cracks in the sub-floor must be repaired

5. All contamination should be removed prior to applying the floors. Oil is a serious problem that may require the removal of the entire screed

6. A stable atmosphere prevents stress to the floorcovering. An ideal atmosphere is ambient temperature between 18°C and 27°C

7. The sub-floor temperature is also important and should be at a minimum 15°C and a maximum 27°C

8. Sunlight can affect the temperature in a room particularly in conservatories and rooms with south facing windows. In such instances the sunlight needs to be controlled. This can be achieved with temporary blinds or films applied to glass

During Installation:

1. Ensure the installation space is climate controlled between 18°C and 27°C throughout the installation

2. Use a chalk line to square the area, marking starting points for the first course to follow, and ensuring cuts will be as efficient as possible

3. Follow installation method outlined in the Operation & Maintenance Manual to lay out and secure tiles

After Installation:

1. Ensure the installation space is climate controlled between 18°C and 27°C 48 hours following the installation

2. Do not allow foot traffic for 24 hours after an installation. And do not allow rolling loads for up to 72 hours after installation
