Can a fitness surface be a good tenant by absorbing sound and vibration? Yes! Ecore Athletic SmashTile is a 24-inch by 24-inch performance rubber tile that has feet, measures 2.5-inches thick, and is designed for weight room applications that require extreme durability and ultimate sound and shock absorption. SmashTile is manufactured by Ecore, a company that transforms reclaimed waste into unique performance surfacing that makes people’s lives better.
SmashTile is able to absorb the impact from a dropped large weight onto its surface, resulting in a significant reduction in shock and sound. The footed design isolates low frequency sound and vibration, while providing a spring-like response to impacts. SmashTile is unique, because it can sustain the repeated abuse of extreme weights without tearing or fading. SmashTile provides an energy restitution of 46.1 percent and a force reduction of 67.7 percent. Moreover, this surface is available in 17 colors and can incorporate custom logos and designs.
SmashTile is installed using Ecore’s Quad Blok interlocking system. This accessory features rubber modular connectors with precisely located openings that interface with the corner leg understructure of each SmashTile. The connectors are quick and easy to use without adhering to or causing damage to subsurface and allow for the removal or replacement of individual tiles with minimal disruption and labor.
Ideal in strength training applications, SmashTile is the perfect solution for strength equipment, extreme weight, light weight, and moderate weight areas. Other benefits that SmashTile provides include sustainability, affordability, and ease of maintenance. To learn more about SmashTile visit: http://ecoreathletic.com/Everlast/SmashTile.
