Regupol Aktiv Flooring

This flooring is awesome, it was easy to install by myself, cut easy with a sharp razor blade, and looks Awesome! I used the double sided sticky take on all edges, and seems. Highly recommend!

After countless hours of reviewing different brands and styles of flooring for my new home gym project I was paralyzed by choices and tempted to just stick with the concrete floor...I am glad I did not and decided to pull the trigger on this Regupol Aktiv Flooring. Delivery was faster than estimated and even though I did not need to be home for it, I just happened to catch the delivery truck as it arrived for the curbside delivery and the driver offered to pull the 2 pallets into the garage for me. This was a pleasant surprise and made life a little easier; however, I could have just as easily unwrapped the pallets and rolled the rubber mats into my garage from the driveway. I ordered 6 rolls of the 4'x25' 3/4 inch thick rubber rolls and they were very heavy but easy to move around with a little planning and overall not difficult to unroll and install. I completed half the job solo just taking my time, and finished the project with a second person which made life much easier. I did choose to install a dricore subfloor under the rubber mats. Whether that was necessary or not, I like the peace of mind having some mold/mildew protection and more importantly I love the feel that the extra inch of the subfloor gives under the 3/4" rubber mats. The floor is SOLID, smooth, and level. I doubt I will have any issues with any type of exercise impact on this floor. With the weight of the 3/4" thick Regupol mats, especially with heavy gym equipment on the way to sit on it, I opted to use no adhesive or tape for now. I installed the subfloor and the rubber mats on top, being as careful as possible to leave 1/4" gap all the way around the room for possible expansion. With just the rubber mats over the floating subfloor I've experienced no movement or gaps yet, but if I do I will use the Regupol double sided tape to secure the mats to the subfloor in the future. There were a few areas where I could see a seam from 2 mats joining each other, but over a few days as things settled they have all pretty much disappeared completely. Even in a spot where I made a mistake (measure TWICE, cut ONCE) I can barely see the seam when I am actively looking for it. Overall I am extremely impressed with how great this floor looks despite being self installed by a complete amateur. There is a faint rubber smell to the mats when initially rolled out. I found it dissipated almost completely after a few days, and is barely noticeable now a week later, and that is without airing out the garage. I have no doubt there will be very little or no smell at all to this rubber flooring, which is impressive. I went with 10% Gray Hound color and I am blown away by how much I love the look. Dirt, dust, and footprints are completely hidden and the floor has a professional, clean look to it. 10% is perfect imo. The 25' long sides of the mats are cut perfect, hiding seams perfectly. The 4' ends are not cut perfectly straight, but it's not the end of the world. Get a triangle, use fresh razors often, and cut carefully to square them up where needed. Fresh sharp razor blades cut very well through this rubber, even at 3/4" thick, but it did take some getting used to and a few trial cuts with my straight edge on some extra rubber to perfect getting a straight line.

I needed a little less than a full 50ft roll. It arrived about 9-10 days after I ordered it and the freight co for my area just delivered it without an appointment which was awesome. It showed up on a palate. I have smooth epoxy floors in my garage and I was able to roll and then drag the roll around on a scrap fleece blanket pretty easily. Installation was easier than I expected it to be and I taped it to the epoxy floors. Very solid. Kinda shocked tape holds it so extremely firm in place. Tip: lock a razor blade into an oscillator tool - literally like cutting paper with a sharp knife. Glides through the 1/2” rubber with ease. I got the 1/2” with 10% grey and personally I love it. I’ve been working out on the floor for about a week and it’s so nice. It really turned it from a basic garage gym to a semi professional looking setup. It’s dense but forgiving, no smell whatsoever and really just exceeded all of my expectations. I almost did horse stall mats and I’m glad I sprung for the good flooring. I think it’s a drastically underrated part of a home gym. If you’re on the fence - do it. You won’t regret it.

Waited over 1yr before providing a true review. I ordered Regupol 8x rolls 3/8" Flooring - Black - 4x25' Roll with Regupol 5 Gallon Adhesive professionally installed. I will say, halfway through the project I had to order another Regupol 5 Gallon Adhesive, for 10 Gallon total coverage. I see earlier reviews mentioning bubbling, but they don't mention the floor material thickness or quantity adhesive they installed, so I trust my install gives some additional information and decision making and material orders. In short, double the Adhesive. My requirements was to outfit a basement concrete surface of ~800sqft gym and den. I did this with 8 rolls and the installer was able to get creative, but mentioned a 9th role would have been ideal. The cuts on these rolls are not perfect and with a 25' section, they have had to fight to align the seems. As far are as flooring thickness, 3/8" is excellent for bumper plates and have seen no evident wear. If you are using iron/steel plates, I'd recommend 1/2" or even 3/4" for aggressive lifts. Overall, it doesn’t appear to have any splits or bubbling it’s just a rugged floor. I’m personally not a fan of the speckled color finish since it tends to hide dust, chalk, and dirt. However, if that’s your preference, that’s fine. Otherwise, I’d recommend going with solid Jet Black it looks cleaner and is generally better for home resale than a heavily speckled color mix.

Great service and quick delivery!

Amazing product and delivery, purchased 6 rolls of the 1/2” matting. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of the matting. The delivery was fantastic well. Took less than 2 weeks to arrive and the delivery guys went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly.

Expensive, but you get what you pay for. If the shipping wasn’t so expensive, these would be a no brainer. Not for everyone, but the seams are perfect and hides dust really well with the 10% flecks.

Bought it, came within a week. Got a great workout end over ending the 275lb rubber rolls to my basement walkout! Installl was smooth, wish I had a 2nd person to help. Only con is that the black tracks every piece of dust from your feet so plan to have some gym shoes that live there. Easy to clean though. check it out!
