What Are Black Rubber Tiles?
Black Rubber Tiles are high-quality flooring panels made from recycled SBR rubber or topped with black/colored EPDM, produced in standard sheets (50×50 cm) or customized sizes for bulk orders, with thicknesses ranging from 20mm to 50mm. They provide flexibility, shock absorption, and resistance to wear and mild chemicals, making them ideal for gyms, playgrounds, commercial areas, and multi-purpose spaces.
⦁ Thickness: 15–50 mm (customizable per project)
⦁ Dimensions: 50×50 cm or custom for large orders
⦁ Approx. Weight: 8–35 kg/m² depending on thickness and density
⦁ Hardness (Shore A): 45–65, optimized for sports and safety
⦁ Shock Absorption: Adjustable by composition; tested to EN 14808 & EN 1177
⦁ Slip Resistance: Certified PTV / Pendulum tests
⦁ VOC Emissions: Lab-tested safe for indoor use
⦁ Recycled Content: Customizable to meet client sustainability targets
- ⦁ SBR (Recycled Rubber): Economical, durable, excellent shock absorption — naturally black
⦁ EPDM (Surface Layer): UV-resistant, color-stable — available in black or other colors
⦁ Why Black Is Common: Practical appearance hides dirt, ideal for gyms and industrial use, gives a professional fitness and equipment-friendly look
Sport Floor also offers hybrid solutions (EPDM top layer + SBR core) for the perfect balance of performance and aesthetics.
