    What is the ideal flooring for a home office with some gym equipment as well, mainly a bench and a couple of dumbbells?

    Was thinking of going with carpet tiles but don't like the look. What do you think of vinyl?

    What about rolled rubber flooring?

    It's fitted the same way as vinyl but with a little more bounce and traction.

    Hi almostthere12,

    Choosing the right flooring for a home office that also doubles as a gym is essential for comfort, functionality, and aesthetics.

    Vinyl flooring can be a great choice for this purpose. Here's why:

    1. Durability: Vinyl flooring is known for its durability. It can withstand the weight and impact of gym equipment like dumbbells without getting damaged.
    2. Easy Maintenance: Vinyl is easy to clean and maintain. You can quickly wipe away any sweat or spills from your gym sessions.
    3. Comfort: Vinyl can provide a comfortable surface for both working and exercising. It's softer underfoot compared to hard flooring options like concrete.
    4. Aesthetics: Vinyl flooring comes in a wide range of designs and styles, so you can find one that complements your home office's look. It's a more modern and sleek option compared to traditional carpet tiles.
    5. Affordability: Vinyl is often more budget-friendly compared to other flooring materials, making it a cost-effective choice.

    If you're concerned about aesthetics, consider luxury vinyl planks or tiles, which can mimic the look of hardwood or stone. This way, you can have the visual appeal you desire while still enjoying the benefits of vinyl's durability and easy maintenance.

    Remember to choose a quality underlayment for added comfort and sound insulation, especially in a home office where you want a quiet environment for work. As for your link, it seems to be missing or incomplete. If you have a specific resource or product you'd like to share related to vinyl flooring, please provide more details, and I'd be happy to discuss it further.
