When we think about setting up or renovating a gym, attention often goes directly to the latest generation of treadmills, CrossFit structures, or selectorized strength machines. However, there's a critical element that literally bears all the weight of the business (and its users) that doesn't always get the attention it deserves: the sports flooring.
At Bodytone, we have an obsession: to elevate the standard of the fitness industry. We are not content with creating excellent machinery; we want every corner of your sports center to be efficient, durable, and, above all, 100% safe.
This 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 classification Bfl-s1.
Does that sound too technical? Let's explain what this means in the real world and why almost no competitor in the market can offer you anything similar.
Bfl-s1: The "Distinction" in fire safety
The EN 13501-1 standard evaluates how materials react to fire. Having obtained 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 tests by the international reference laboratory SGS, these have been the results:
- Exceptional Critical Heat Flux greater than or equal to 11kWm2: A value well above the minimum required by law for the Bfl category, demonstrating brutal heat resistance.
- Minimal 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: Fire does not spread significantly, protecting the building structure and gaining vital evacuation minutes.
This technical evaluation makes ProFlowMat the highest national certification granted in Spain and France for this type of product.
Exclusive engineering you won't find in another brand
Why does our flooring achieve these results while the vast majority of fitness equipment manufacturers don't 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 originated 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 behavior, but also a high-precision anchoring system and a dynamic cleaning surface that are unique in the market. As the owners and designers of this technology, Bodytone 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 demonstrate it with reports from accredited international laboratories like SGS. With ProFlowMat, total safety is no longer a future option; it's a present reality for the most demanding centers worldwide.
Don't gamble with the foundations of your gym. Invest in design, invest in performance, and above all, protect your business with the highest certified safety on the market.
