Step 1: Remove Loose Debris
Before applying any cleaner, vacuum the rubber floor with a soft brush head to remove dust, dirt, and loose particles. A vacuum works better than a broom because it can pull debris out of the small pores in the rubber.
- Adjust the vacuum brush height so it doesn’t scratch or mark the surface.
- A light to medium setting is usually enough to lift debris without causing damage.
Step 2: Wash the Floor
Rubber flooring is best cleaned with a mop, but not all mop types work well:
- Avoid cotton string mops or low-quality sponge mops, as they can shed fibers.
- Use a microfiber mop head for the best results.
Mix a pH-neutral cleaner (such as Zep Concentrated Neutral pH Floor Cleaner) with warm water, following the product’s dilution instructions. Mop the floor with a damp—not soaking wet—mop.
⚠️ If using a foamy cleaner (like dish soap), rinse the floor afterward with clean water. Skipping this step can leave behind a film that makes the floor look dull and attracts more dirt.
Step 3: Dry the Floor
Let the floor air dry completely. To speed up the process:
- Open windows for better airflow.
- Use a box fan to circulate air.
- Wipe up excess water with a dry microfiber cloth or mop.

5/16" (8mm) Rubber Gym Mats — 4’ x 8’ | More Coverage for Larger Equipment & Multi-Station Setups
Step up to 32 square feet of mid-weight rubber protection. Our 5/16" (8mm) rubber gym mats in 4’ x 8’ are the right call when you need more coverage than a single-machine mat provides — whether that’s a cable machine with a wide user footprint, two weight benches side by side, a leg press, or a full dumbbell station. More cushion than 1/4", better coverage than 4’ x 6’, and still more budget-friendly than stepping up to maximum thickness.
Made in the USA from recycled rubber, backed by a 5-year warranty, and available in 7 colors.
When 4’ x 8’ Makes the Right Call
- Cable machines and functional trainers with wider base footprints that exceed a standard 4’ x 6’ mat
- Two weight benches side by side — a single 4’ x 8’ mat covers both stations cleanly without a seam between them
- Leg press and seated selectorized machines with a longer floor footprint
- Full dumbbell station — one mat under the rack, the adjacent dumbbell drop zone, and the bench area
- Smith machine or squat/cable combo unit base footprint
- Group fitness zones where multiple people work in one area
- Horse stall flooring — two 4’ x 8’ mats cover a standard 12’ x 12’ stall with two strips and one seam
Why 5/16" (8mm) for a 4’ x 8’ Mat?
- Real cushion without the weight of 3/8" — 8mm rubber is noticeably more comfortable underfoot than 6mm, and lighter than 3/8" for the same footprint
- Handles moderate free weight activity — dumbbells, kettlebells, and light barbell work without flooring concern
- Better value per sqft than thicker mats when your training doesn’t involve heavy barbell drops
- 5-year industry-leading warranty
- Made in the USA from recycled tires
- Slip-resistant across the full 32-sqft surface
- 7 colors: Black, Gray, Blue, Blue/Gray, Confetti, Eggshell/Cocoa, and Terra Cotta

Frequently Asked Questions
How many 4’ x 8’ mats do I need for a horse stall?
A standard 12’ x 12’ stall takes 6 mats (6 × 4’ x 8’ = 192 sqft). You’ll typically run them in two rows of three, with two seams running the length of the stall. For a 10’ x 10’ stall, about 4 mats cover the floor area. Our 8mm thickness is a popular choice for horse stalls because it provides real cushion for hooves and is easy to clean.
Can I use this mat under a squat rack?
The 5/16" mat handles a squat rack well if you’re primarily using it for squats and presses without barbell drops to the floor. If your training involves dropping the bar — for deadlifts, cleans, or missed lifts — our 3/8" mat offers better subfloor protection for those impacts.
What’s the total weight of a 4’ x 8’ 8mm mat?
About 61 lbs for the Black version (1.92 lbs/sqft × 32 sqft). A two-person lift when placing under heavy equipment is recommended.
Does the 5-year warranty cover the mats?
Yes — our 5-year warranty covers all rubber flooring including the 5/16" (8mm) mats, covering manufacturing defects in material and workmanship.
