Stravigym GympactLayer

Impact Absorption Layer

Stravigym GympactLayer range offers engineered continuous mats, 20 mm (3/4’’) thick – Stravigym GympactLayer-20 – and 45 mm (1-3/4’’) thick – Stravigym GympactLayer-45. These impact absorption layers are compatible with most available floor coverings, allowing freedom of choice of the final flooring. They can also be combined with Stravigym GympactFloor.

The right combination of Stravigym GympactLayer and finish floor covering can have a huge impact on the structure-borne noise mitigation through extending the time of contact/impact and, thereby, reducing the peak impact force and the noise generated.

NOTE: Stravigym GympactLayer is not a finishing surface. It functions as an impact absorption layer and must always be covered by a suitable floor finish to ensure proper performance and durability

Benefits

  • Specifiers

    For Specifiers

    For Operators

    Optimised Performance 
    • Cost‑effective solution suitable for impact areas (e.g. free‑weight zones) under rubber flooring, where moderate acoustic performance is required
    Installation & Operational Continuity
    • Roll-out solution easy and fast  to install with minimum disruption of activity
    • Fast-track installation enables resolution of acoustic issues typically within less than one week, without requiring full gym closure
    • Allows continued operation of adjacent areas, reducing disruption to members and staff
    Flexibility & Adaptability
    • Performance can be tuned by adjusting the system build‑up [20 mm (13/16''), 45 mm (1/3'') and 65 mm (2-9/16'')]
    • Easy to adapt, reconfigure or upgrade as layouts, equipment mix, usage or surrounding areas demands evolve over time
    • Compatible with Stravigym solutions (Stravigym SP, HP and XP) for increased performance
    Risk Reduction & Durability
    • Minimises the risk of structural damage and costly retrofits caused by repeated heavy impacts
    • Reduces impact transmission, helping limit noise-related issues
    Proven Performance & Scalability
    • Supports consistent performance across multiple locations through a standardised, repeatable solution
    • Proven in real-world applications worldwide, across commercial gyms, residential facilities, chains and amenity spaces
