Whether it’s a leisure centre, school, hotel or spa facility, gyms can be pretty dangerous places when they want to be. A gruelling assault course is great for getting the blood pumping but you don’t want to end up in press up position against your will.
When you’re curling that dumbbell or running like the clappers on the treadmill to beat your personal best, the last thing you want to be worrying about is the ground beneath your feet. You need that to be as solid as a slip-proof rock.
The first port of call to dodge any unnecessary accidents and avoidable injuries is to get any gym floor or poolside kitted out with some top quality safety vinyl and/or enduring carpet tiles.
Kick it with come carpet tiles
Carpet tiles come in a whole array of forms but the great thing about every single one of them is that they can be replaced in a jiffy.
Rather than having to remove and replace an entire floor full of roll carpet when Big Dave spills his protein smoothie all over the gaff, carpet tiles can be taken up and given some TLC one by one. Easy peasy.
A vast majority of our carpet tile ranges offer fire-resistant properties and anti-static qualities, which are both big pluses in places where footfall is high, machinery is commonplace and safety is essential.
Go for a tufted loop tile like Paragon Macaw or a ribbed range like Nouveau Rio for extreme durability that is still going to stand strong in the face of high impact and intensive use.

Health and safety (vinyl) just got exciting
In a nutshell, safety vinyl has been specifically designed to provide a textured surface that will improve the grip of human traffic, machinery or furniture so there will nothing slip sliding around when it shouldn't be.
If you not quite up to speed with how this so-called safety vinyl is any different from your bog standard vinyl or your luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), you can catch up here before you read on.
This type of floorcovering is real must-have product for those areas where slippage and sweat-age are likely due to it’s textured, slip-resistant surface. From microbeads to shards of quartz, this safety measure can be a real stylish choice too.
It just so happens we have some of the most popular safety vinyl products right here at DCTUK, from some of the biggest brands in the biz such as Altro and Polyflor.
