Gym Flooring Tile Connectors – Guide & Compatibility
Which tiles are compatible with connectors?
| Thickness | Connector Compatible? |
|---|---|
| 10mm | No – lay-flat design only |
| 15mm | No – lay-flat design only |
| 20mm | Yes – connectors recommended |
| 30mm | Yes – connectors recommended |
| 40mm | Yes – connectors recommended |
10mm & 15mm tiles are designed to be laid directly onto a flat subfloor without connectors. Adhesive can be used for permanent installations. These thicknesses are not compatible with plastic connectors due to the tile structure.
20mm, 30mm & 40mm tiles have a connector-ready base. Tiles can be laid loose (their weight helps keep them in place), but connectors are strongly recommended for easier installation, better alignment, and improved stability in larger layouts.

How many connectors do I need?
-
3–4 connectors per 1m x 1m tile is the standard recommendation
-
Use more in higher-impact areas or around heavy racks and equipment
-
Edge and corner connectors can be added for a cleaner perimeter finish and to reduce trip hazards on thicker tiles
-
Connectors are not essential, but make installation significantly easier and improve long-term stability
