You are a member of a fitness or sports hall and you have never paid attention to the type of flooring installed in your favorite room. Normal you will tell me; this is not really your primary concern.

And yet, if you spend a lot of time there, it is good that you know a little more.

A rubber bodybuilding flooring (composed of automobile tires crushed and glued with a resin) can generate strong odors of this material to which some are allergic.

It happens that sometimes the club member feels a certain embarrassment without identifying his origin. Certain sports hall coverings (also concerns other premises) are sources of VOCs and phthalates which can be harmful to health.

A classification exists on emissions into indoor air carried out by various accredited bodies which have the power to write an emission test report. It is obviously necessary to favor a floor, for sports halls, which has an A + classification.

Remember if you are opening a fitness center or managing the renovation of a fitness club flooring. This is also the case for other sensitive places such as children’s education rooms among others.

This is something that will protect you from potential problems with your customers if you are a fitness operator or the owner of the premises if you are a tenant.
