Why flooring is one of the most important elements
Wrong flooring = noise on every squat, damaged container steel, unstable equipment. Right flooring = comfortable training, equipment longevity, peace and quiet for the neighbours.
What we use in Gym Box
Layer 1 — 10 mm buffer mat (directly on container steel) Absorbs vibration and moisture. We use EVA foam or recycled rubber.
Layer 2 — 20 mm sports rubber tiles Shore A hardness: 50–60. Colour: black or anthracite. Format: 1×1 m or 0.5×0.5 m (puzzle). Compression resistance: over 400 kg/m².
Premium option — 25 mm rubber + acoustic mat For models with heavier Olympic exercises (snatch, clean & jerk), with an additional acoustic mat under the weights zone.
Wall and ceiling soundproofing
A Gym Box is built from steel — without additional soundproofing it reflects noise. As standard:
- Wall lining — 18 mm OSB or MDF panel on a frame with mineral wool
- Ceiling — acoustic panels or foam tiles
- Doors — acoustic seals on the frame
Effect: Noise reduction of 15–25 dB compared with an empty container. Music at 80 dB inside = ~55 dB outside (conversation level).
Colours and aesthetics
The floor is part of the gym’s visual identity. Available options:
| Colour | Character |
|---|---|
| Black | Classic, professional |
| Anthracite | Modern, understated |
| Grey | Bright, spacious |
| Black + green edging | Colour accent |
You can mix colours — e.g. black central zone + green edging.
