Floor Cover Rolls vs. Tiles
Our carpet-style gym floor covers come in two types: rolls and tiles. Both have a carpet-like top that’s slip and stain resistant and quiets the room, a backing with a built-in moisture barrier, and a Class 1 fire rating under ASTM E648. Rolls are the more economical choice. Tiles are thicker, give heavier protection, and let you cover just part or half of the floor when you don’t need to roll out the full length of the room.
| Floor cover rolls | Floor cover tiles | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Covering the whole floor at the lowest cost | Heavier protection, or covering just part of the floor |
| Cost | More economical | Costs more, protects more |
| Size | 6 ft wide, cut to the length you need | 35″ x 70″ tiles |
| Weight | 15.5 oz per sq yd | 74.5 oz per sq yd (8.2 lb per tile) |
| Thickness | Thin and lightweight | 1/4″ thick, 1/8″ pile |
| Backing | Non-skid extruded backing with moisture barrier | Tri-layer extruded backing with moisture barrier |
| Seams | Top hook seaming system included, reusable 50+ times; seaming tape also available | Tiles butt together tightly and can be custom cut, so you can cover all of the floor or only part of it |
| Storage | Rolls up onto rolling storage racks; a power winder is available | Stack flat on rolling storage carts |
| Fire rating | ASTM E648-06, Class 1 | ASTM E648-10, Class 1 |
| Manufacturer warranty | 3 years | 7 years |
Which is right for you?
- Choose rolls if you cover the whole floor for big events like graduations and want the most economical option.
- Choose tiles if you want heavier protection, or you often need to cover just part or half of the floor without rolling out the full length of the room.
