Why Choose Sport Floor 3 cm Rubber Tiles?
The 3 cm thick rubber tile represents a smart “middle-ground” solution between cost and performance — offering better shock absorption and stability than 2 cm tiles, while remaining lighter and more affordable than thicker (4–5 cm) systems.
At Sport Floor, we manufacture 3 cm tiles under strict quality control, certified with slip resistance and VOC laboratory reports, and covered by a comprehensive material + installation warranty — backed by export experience in 47 countries worldwide.

🔧 Professional Installation Steps by Sport Floor
Ensure surface cleanliness, leveling, and crack repair. Flatness tolerance ≤ ±3 mm per 2 m.
Especially important on concrete bases before applying adhesive (for glued systems).
Use specialized PU adhesive or thermal-bond system as required.
Lay tiles in perpendicular alignment, starting from the room center or a reference point. Leave small expansion gaps along edges as per manufacturer’s recommendation.
Apply uniform surface pressure to ensure full adhesion and alignment.
Cut edges neatly and seal properly. For outdoor areas, use waterproof rubber sealant.
Perform slip-resistance testing, joint inspection, and final cleaning before handover.
Routine Maintenance & Tile Longevity – Sport Floor
Remove dust and debris using a soft brush or industrial vacuum.
Wash with lukewarm water and mild soap; avoid harsh solvents.
Inspect wear, check tile edges, and refill any jointing or support materials if needed.
Perform a technical inspection (slip resistance, adhesion) and carry out any spot repairs.
Use rubber-safe cleaning agents recommended by Sport Floor.
