Before you start

TOOLS

To install rubber roll flooring using glue, make sure you have the following tools available:

Gloves

Measuring tape / chalk line

Utility knife

Pressure roller

Glue

ACCLIMATISATION

The floor covering should be unstacked from the pallet before laying and stored 1-2 days where it will be laid. This is to allow the material to contract / expand to its final form before installation. 

Gym floor installation steps

Step 1: Clean the substrate

All substrates made of asphalt, concrete and poured screed are suitable for the installation. The substrate must be solid, leveled, dry, clean and free of cracks and of dust who can affect adhesion.

Since you’re using glue, you’ll also want to be sure that your subfloor is dry and free of moisture.

Step 2: Roll out the rubber

Lay out the rolls in the room as you would like them to look after a complete installation. (The rolls can be directional so make sure the color matches on each rolls). Make any necessary cuts to the rolls to fit them into the room using a Straight Edge and a Utility Knife. After you have the rolls laid out the way you want, roll them back up to one end of the room.

Step 3: Apply glue

If using a 2 parts glue, mix both components of adhesive. Directly after mixing, start pouring the glue out evenly over the prepared installation area.

Apply the glue evenly with a toothed spatula with teething recommended by the adhesive manufacturer. Be mindfull of adhesive setting time.

Step 4: Pressure roller

After gluing the rubber on the floor, before adhesive is completely hardened, apply contact pressure to the surface with a 100-pound carpet roller to eliminate air bubbles underneath the material and make be sure the rubber has adhered tightly to the glue.

After installation do not walk on the surface before the adhesive is completely hardened.

Optional Step 5: Coating

Depending on its application, the flooring could be coated with a sealing lacquer. Generally speaking, the material should be coated when flooring is used for indoor areas, with no violent shocks expected.

Make sure the surface is clean and dry before applying.
Do not walk on the sealed floor before the sealing material is completely hardened.
