In this Rubber-Call How-To-Video we will teach you how to safely seam two rolls of rubber together during gym mat installation. Seaming two rolls properly will help rubber mat flooring stay smooth and level and preventing potentially dangerous raised or uneven edges. Rubber is an environmentally friendly flooring option because it is often made from recycled materials and will lend itself to multiple applications. In this video we’ll show case how simple it is to secure your rubber flooring mat with double-sided tape, allowing for easy installation and removal. By using this installation method you will be able to reuse your floor should you ever decide to move it! Tackle any DIY project with these easy to install rubber gym matting.

Installing rubber gym matting in a room is a great way to turn any ordinary space into a professional style fitness center. Rubber provides just the right amount of comfort to prevent impact-related injuries and support for expensive equipment. No home gym or fitness room is complete until Rubber-Cal’s rubber gym mats are neatly under toe.
Most of our gym mats are derived from a recycled rubber compound. This unique process helps keep the cost of our Earth friendly rubber flooring mat down. In addition, the simple DIY installation process will also help to keep the cost down.
We have created this informative instructional video to help you take your home gym from drab to fab. The process from start to finish is very straightforward and easy to follow. With the right guidance you too can be burning calories on your brand new exercise gym flooring.
But, before we get started, it’s imperative that you understand a simple, yet highly important step in any rubber floor matting installation. “Seaming” is the process of joining two separate pieces of rubber matting together. This professional grade technique will give your new fitness room flooring a clean professional look.
Having the correct tools is essential for laying a rubber floor properly. Before getting started make sure you have everything you need, handy and ready to use. This project will require that you have the following; gloves, knee pads, utility knife with extra blades, a t-square, a piece of chalk, doubled-sided tape and a broom. The t-square, chalk and utility knife will be especially important should you have to seam two mats together.
To prevent the doubled-sided carpet from peeling up, make sure to sweep the sub-surface first. This helps the tape adhere properly to the recycled rubber gym mat.
Carefully measure and mark guidelines on the floor before placing the carpet tape down. This process is important for even gym mat placement. Begin unrolling the rubber gym mats. This process is clearly demonstrated in the video. Make sure to double check your placement every few feet to make sure the gym mat is adhering properly to the flooring below.
It’s a good idea to use a utility knife to remove the protective covering from the tape. Notice the crew member in the video is not wearing gloves while cutting. We suggest you wear gloves when cutting any type of material.
Although a roll of rubber flooring can extend as long as 50ft., you may need to connect or “seam” two rubber rolls together to accommodate a larger space. Properly “seaming” two rolls together allows for a flawless transition from one roll to the other. A good seam will help to prevent dangerous or uneven surfaces. A properly seamed floor has a professional, finished look to it.
For a perfect seam, overlap the end of the new rubber roll with the gym mat you already secured to the ground using the carpet tape. Use a straightedge or t-square and a piece of chalk to help facilitate a nice clean cut. You may have to use a technique called “scoring” to cut through the top layer or rubber. “Scoring” involves repeatedly moving the blade of the knife over a location to cut through it. A recycled rubber mat is strong, so this may take a little work on your part. Be sure to use a good amount of pressure. You’ll need to do so to create a guide-line on the mat below. Next, use that line you made on the bottom mat to make your final cut. This will ensure that the ends of both mats come together nicely.
Once you have cut both pieces of rubber floor matting, peel the top layer of the double-sided tape below them. Do this step slowly and be sure to flatten the malleable surface as you go. Press the rubber mat flooring firmly, smoothing out any uneven areas to keep your rubber gym matting flat on the ground. Don’t worry if you have to readjust the rubber flooring to smooth out the uneven areas. That is part of the process. Luckily, using tape makes this step a piece of cake.
That’s it. You have mastered the art of seeming. For more information on how to cut or seam rubber gym mats or for further instructions on how to install rubber roll matting, please refer to the Rubber-Cal installation guide for further instructions.
