Choosing the right thickness for your industrial-grade compound base mat is essential for optimum performance and safety, as well as longevity. This guide will assist you based on the requirements you want to achieve.
Why Thickness Matters
The thickness of your compound base mat affects:
Cushioning (thicker = better shock absorption)
Resistance to damage (if too thin, the mat will sustain damage)
Longevity of the mat (thicker mats tend to be more durable)
Comfort (more important in gyms and children play areas)
Thickness Guide by Application
| Thickness | Best For | Weight Capacity | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-6mm | Light duty | ≤440 lbs/sq.m | Home gyms, yoga mats |
| 8-12mm | Medium duty | 440-1100 lbs/sq.m | Commercial gyms, warehouses |
| 15-20mm | Heavy duty | 1100-2200 lbs/sq.m | Industrial floors, weight areas |
| 20mm+ | Extreme duty | 2200+ lbs/sq.m | Heavy machinery zones |
Industrial-Grade Compound Base Mat: Choosing the Right Thickness
1. By Application
- Gyms/Sports: 8-15mm (optimal joint protection)
- Industrial: 10-20mm (high impact resistance)
- Play Areas: 10-12mm (safety-focused cushioning)
- Stables: 12-15mm (slip-resistant, durable)
2. By Weight Requirements
- Light (3-6mm): Body weight, light equipment
- Medium (8-12mm): Gym machines, free weights
- Heavy (15-20mm+): Industrial equipment, vehicles
3. Budget Considerations
- Economy (3-8mm): Cost-effective for light use
- Premium (10-20mm+): Long-term investment for businesses
Additional Selection Factors
Material (rubber, EVA, PVC – affects performance)
Surface texture (anti-slip, drainage patterns)
Certifications (RoHS, REACH for indoor safety)
Quick Selection Checklist
- Identify primary use (commercial/industrial/residential)
- Calculate load requirements
- Match to thickness range
