It handles the impact of a dropped dumbbell well and provides comfortable cushioning underfoot. If you’re regularly performing heavy barbell movements with potential drops, step up to our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/3-8-inch-9mm-rubber-gym-mats-4x6\"\u003e3\/8\" mat\u003c\/a\u003e for added subfloor protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat’s the difference between the 5\/16\" mat and the 3\/8\" mat?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout 1mm of rubber and a roughly $3 price difference per square foot. The 3\/8\" (9mm) mat is our best-selling thickness because it handles free weights and barbell work more confidently. If your training is primarily bench-based with dumbbells or cable work, 5\/16\" is plenty. If you regularly use a barbell on the ground or drop weights, go 3\/8\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the 5-year warranty apply to mats?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — our 5-year warranty covers all rubber flooring, including the 5\/16\" gym mats.

Horse stall rubber mats are one of the most common uses for this thickness. The 8mm depth provides great cushion for hooves and joints, and the solid rubber construction is easy to clean.
