What gym & studio flooring in Slade Green actually involves
A Howbury PT studio above a post-war terraces needs acoustic underlay under the rubber or the neighbours are on the phone. We fit 18mm shock-absorbing base plus 15mm rubber tile so nothing carries through.
Cottage floors often need a full ply overlay; 80s semis usually have flat chipboard.
“Lovely carpet fitted by Jordan, really good service, definitely will be using again.” — Louise Bowyer, verified Google review
- Heavy-duty rubber tile and roll for weight zones
- Sprung sports vinyl for studios
- Shock-absorbing underlay so upstairs neighbours don't complain
- Zoned by discipline — weights, cardio, studio, changing
Slade Green vinyl — the details that matter
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Slade Green kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older post-war terraces we overlay with ply before laying vinyl so the boards underneath don't telegraph through.
- Coving
For bathrooms we can cove the vinyl up the wall 100mm to seal the floor properly.
Bottom line: the deadlift platform is a different floor to the studio. Spec each right.
