1. THE SHOCK ABSORPTION EFFECT
(1) Gym rubber mat with grooves on the bottom: This design usually has better shock absorption performance. The groove structure can increase the friction between the floor mat and the ground, effectively absorb impact forces, reduce the vibrations and noises generated during exercise, and protect the joints of fitness enthusiasts as well as the residents downstairs.
(2) Gym rubber mat with flat bottom: Although it can also provide a certain shock absorption effect, its shock absorption capacity is relatively weak in comparison. The flat bottom design relies more on the elasticity and thickness of the material to achieve shock absorption. For high-intensity exercises or the use of heavy equipment, it may not be sufficient to completely absorb the impact forces.
2. STABILITY
(1) Gym rubber tile with grooves on the bottom: The groove structure increases the contact area between the floor mat and the ground, enhancing the stability of the floor mat and making it less likely to slide or shift during use. This is especially important for fitness enthusiasts who need to move frequently or engage in high-intensity training.
(2) Gym rubber tile with flat bottom: Although it also has a certain degree of stability, compared with the design with grooves, it is more likely to slide or shift under the influence of external forces. This may affect the training effect and safety of fitness enthusiasts.
3. DURABILITY
(1) Gym rubber flooring with grooves on the bottom: Because the groove structure can disperse pressure and reduce the wear and tear on the surface of the floor mat, it usually has a longer service life. In addition, some high-quality grooved floor mats are also made of wear-resistant materials, further enhancing their durability.
(2) Gym rubber flooring with flat bottom: Although it also has a certain degree of durability, it may wear out or get damaged more quickly under long-term use or high-intensity training. Especially if the surface material of the floor mat is not wear-resistant enough, or if the laying is not even, resulting in excessive local stress, it will accelerate its aging process.
4. INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
(1) Gym rubber flooring mat with grooves on the bottom: The installation is relatively simple. Just piece the floor mats together. However, due to the groove structure being prone to accumulating dirt and grime, regular cleaning is required to maintain hygiene. Meanwhile, care should be taken not to damage the groove structure during the cleaning process.
(2) Gym rubber flooring mat with flat bottom: The installation is equally simple. But compared with the design with grooves, it is easier to keep clean. However, after long-term use, the flat-bottom floor mat may have the problems of warped edges or deformation, and it needs to be adjusted or replaced in a timely manner.
5. IN CONCLUSION
The rubber mats with grooves on the bottom are superior to the flat-bottom rubber mats in terms of shock absorption effect, stability, durability and applicable scenarios. However, the specific choice of which type of rubber mat to use still depends on the actual needs and budget.
