EVA rubber flooring is the part of a gym project that most conversations skip. Talk about gym flooring and it usually starts and ends with the weight room. But any facility that runs more than one type of activity, a fitness centre with a kids’ play corner, a wellness studio that also hosts martial arts classes, a gym with a dedicated stretching zone, needs more than one type of floor. Rubber tiles built for dropped weights aren’t the right fit for a toddler’s play area, and a stretching room doesn’t need the same surface as a free-weight zone.
This is where Bunde Flooring’s EVA rubber flooring range comes in: a set of products built specifically for these other spaces, separate from its 7mm gym tile range. The range is made by Bunde Flooring in Spain and brought to Saudi Arabia through Diode’s partnership with Elaf Rubber.
Martial Arts and Stretching: Tatami
For martial arts and stretching areas, Tatami flooring is made from high-quality EVA rubber and built with an extra point of resistance. The result is a surface that’s a bit less soft than a standard tatami mat, trading a little cushioning for a more durable product overall, without losing the comfort martial arts training needs. It’s available in 20mm or 30mm thickness, supplied in 100x100cm tiles with a puzzle ending for straightforward installation.
Kids’ Areas: Cole 18mm
Kids’ play zones have their own requirements entirely: softer underfoot, safer to fall on, and visually distinct from the rest of the facility. Cole 18mm is made from EVA rubber and designed specifically for comfort and resistance in kids’ areas. It comes in 50x50cm tiles with a puzzle ending, available in blue, yellow, red and green, energetic colours suited to a space meant to feel separate from the training floor around it.
Backed by Elaf Rubber’s Distribution and Support
Bunde Flooring is engineered in Spain, and Elaf Rubber is its exclusive distributor for the Middle East. That distribution comes with more than just product access: Elaf Rubber provides full technical support and consultation, access to product samples and brochures, quick delivery and on-site coordination, and installation guidance with after-sales service. For facilities in Saudi Arabia specifying flooring across multiple zones, that support matters as much as the product spec itself, since getting the right combination of tiles and mats installed correctly the first time avoids costly rework later.
Planning EVA Rubber Flooring Across Multiple Zones
The practical takeaway is that a multi-use facility rarely needs a single flooring product. A gym with a kids’ corner might use Cole 18mm in the play area and Tatami in a stretching or martial arts room, all from the same supplier, without compromising on any one space to save on flooring costs elsewhere.
