1/2″ Black Rubber Sports Roll 4′ Wide X 12.7mm Thick – Iron Company (ROLL-BLACK-1/2)

1/2″ Thick Black Heavy-Duty Weight Room Rubber Flooring Roll – Our 1/2″ thick rolled rubber for weight rooms is the most heavy-duty product of its kind available on the market. Each 4′ x 25′ roll (100 sq. ft.) weighs 254 lbs. That is just over 2.5 lbs. of protective rubber per square foot! 1/2″ recycled rubber is a common choice among heavy weight lifters and powerlifters that lift massive barbells and dumbbells and require serious floor protection. Dropping dumbbells weighing as much as 150 lbs. each and barbells in the range of 500-600 lbs. creates tons of shock and impact not only on your floors, but on your equipment as well. Sufficient rubber to create a protective barrier between the weights and sub-floor is paramount in preventing damage to both.

What type of rolled rubber is best for heavy weight lifting? – Other roll thickness choices such as 3/8″ (9.5mm) and even 5/16″ (8mm) can often be sufficient for garage gyms, fitness studios and commercial gyms. However, for very heavy weight lifting, our 1/2″ (12.7mm) thick rolled rubber is best and will not require additional matting supplementation in weight room areas. Our rolls are Made In The USA from crumb rubber that is reclaimed and processed from post-consumer tires. Tire rubber is made to be very resilient for all types of road surfaces in all types of weather. So it is a natural fit for withstanding the constant pounding of weights in a commercial gym.
