When we think about setting up or renovating a gym, our attention usually goes straight to state-of-the-art treadmills, CrossFit rigs, or selectorized strength machines. However, there is a critical element that literally supports the entire weight of the business (and its users) that does not always get the attention it deserves: sports flooring.
At Bodytone we are obsessed with one thing: raising the standard of the fitness industry. We are not satisfied with creating excellent equipment; we want every corner of your sports center to be efficient, durable, and, above all, 100% safe.
That is why today we want to share a historic milestone for the brand. Our sports flooring ProFlowMat has obtained the prestigious SGS Certification under the strict European standard EN 13501-1, achieving the Bfl-s1 classification.
Does it sound very technical? Let us explain what this means in the real world and why almost no competitor on the market can offer you anything like it.
Bfl-s1: The "Honors Degree" in fire safety
The EN 13501-1 standard evaluates how materials react to fire. Achieving the Bfl-s1 rating means that ProFlowMat has achieved the most demanding and restrictive level possible for floor coverings within its category (Group B).
After undergoing rigorous testing by the leading international reference laboratory SGS, these were the results:
- Exceptional Critical Heat Flux greater than or equal to 11kWm2: A value that is far above the legal minimum required for the Bfl category, demonstrating brutal heat resistance.
- Minimum Smoke Emission (s1): In the event of any incident, our flooring guarantees the lowest and safest level of smoke emission on the market.
- No flame spread: The fire does not spread significantly, protecting the building structure and gaining vital evacuation minutes.
This technical evaluation makes ProFlowMat the highest national certification awarded in Spain and France for this type of product.
Exclusive engineering you will not find in any other brand
Why does our flooring achieve these results while the vast majority of fitness equipment manufacturers do not even certify their surfaces under these standards?
The answer lies in science. ProFlowMat is not a generic rubber floor. It is our own patented technological development that was born from our strategic alliance with the R&D department of the Catholic University of Murcia (UCAM).
This collaboration has allowed us to design not only a surface with impeccable fire performance, but also a high-precision anchoring system and a dynamic cleaning surface that are unique on the market. As the owners and designers of this technology, at Bodytone we can guarantee real technical exclusivity and certified hygiene.
The standard of the future, available today
In the B2B fitness sector, many promise quality, but very few can prove it with reports from accredited international laboratories such as SGS. With ProFlowMat, total safety is no longer a future option, it is a present reality for the most demanding centers in the world.
Do not gamble with the foundations of your gym. Invest in design, invest in performance, and above all, shield your business with the highest certified safety on the market.
