Sprung Floors and Gym Foam: Blocks, Pit Cubes and Mat Foam
A sprung floor sits a timber subfloor on shock-absorbing foam blocks, so the surface gives a little under every landing. Our sprung floor blocks are 100 x 100 x 25mm EVA30 closed cell foam, sold in packs of 100 or 1,000. Change the layout or block size and you change the feel and spring of the floor. Custom block sizes are available on request.
The same studios usually need two more things: a foam pit, and foam for mats and padding. Both are below, with the grades we supply.

Picking the right foam
Sprung floors for dance, gymnastics, jiu jitsu and martial arts.
Use our sprung floor foam squares under your timber. Browse the ready-made foam products category for the sprung floor option. EVA is softer and more elastic than PE, which is why it suits rebound and shock deflection. Lay a small test section, try it, then adjust the layout until you get the spring you want.
Foam pits for gyms, schools, trampoline parks and BMX.
Foam pit cubes are 150mm open cell polyurethane, treated with Ultra-Fresh to control odours caused by bacterial growth. They come by the full bun, so pick-up from our Sydney warehouse is the cheapest way to get them home, with details given at order. Line the pit edges with foam sheet or skins for padding.
Mats, wall pads and equipment.
EVA foam sheets in EVA30 are listed for exercise mats; step up to high density EVA foam for a firmer pad. PE foam is firmer again and the choice when cost matters more than rebound. For thicker, softer padding, look at our open cell foam sheets, or browse every closed cell foam grade side by side.
Custom shapes.
Crash pads, wedges, plyo box inserts and post padding are all cut work. Send us plans, CAD files or simple dimensions, or price open cell grades yourself with our custom cut foam calculator. More examples are in Custom Foam for Gyms, Fitness and Rehab Projects.

Frequently asked questions
We use closed cell EVA30 foam blocks, 100 x 100 x 25mm, placed under the timber subfloor. EVA is softer and more elastic than polyethylene, so it suits the rebound and shock deflection a dance, gymnastics or martial arts floor needs. The blocks are sold in packs of 100 or 1,000, in grey or charcoal. Timber is not included, so you supply the subfloor yourself.
A spacing of 1 block per 30cm is common, but there is no single right layout. The spacing and the block size both change the overall feel and spring of the floor, so it pays to lay a small test section and stand, jump and land on it before committing to the full area. Blocks come in packs of 100 or 1,000, and if you need a different block size to get the response you want, custom foam sizes are available on request.
Open cell polyurethane cubes. Ours are 150 x 150 x 150mm, white, and treated with Ultra-Fresh to keep the foam cleaner and fresher by controlling odours caused by bacterial growth. Gyms, schools, trampoline parks and BMX pits use them. We sell them by the full bun of 900 cubes, about 4 cubic metres, and we also supply foam sheets and skins for padding the pit edges.
They are a bulky special-order product, so freight costs and surcharges are higher than for most foam. Picking up from our Sydney warehouse is the most affordable option, with details given at order. If pick-up does not work for you, contact us for a custom freight rate before you order. Each full bun is 900 cubes, roughly 4 cubic metres, so plan for the space when the delivery arrives or when you collect.
For exercise mats, use closed cell EVA. EVA30 is soft to medium, water resistant and impervious to mildew, mould, rot and bacteria, and it is the grade we list for exercise mats. EVA75 is the high-density, medium to firm option when you want a firmer pad. PE30 is firmer than EVA and is used where hardness and cost-effectiveness matter most. All three come in sheets you can cut to shape.
Yes. We cut crash pads, landing mats, wedges, plyo box inserts and wall or post padding to size, working from plans, CAD files or simple dimensions. Shapes can include bevels and angles, and layers can be laminated for high-impact areas. Our online calculator prices open cell grades instantly; for EVA, PE or anything shaped, send us the drawing or dimensions and we will quote.
