The 15mm Bamboo Platform Insert is a practical alternative to a full standalone weightlifting platform. Designed to sit flush with 15mm rubber gym flooring, it creates a clean, level lifting surface without the footprint or cost of a complete platform.
Made from cross-laminated bamboo ply with a durable polyurethane finish, the insert offers stability underfoot and a professional look for both home gyms and training studios. Bevelled edges help it transition neatly into surrounding flooring for a tidy, integrated setup.
For best results, we recommend screwing the insert down during installation to prevent movement, bowing or cupping over time. To preserve the lifespan of both the bamboo insert and your plates, all barbell drops should be performed on the surrounding rubber flooring - not directly onto the bamboo surface.
Measuring 1m x 2m x 15mm
What This Is For
The 15mm Bamboo Platform Insert is designed to create a defined lifting surface within a rubber-floored gym space. It’s ideal for barbell work where you want a stable, consistent foot position without committing to a full standalone weightlifting platform.
It is intended to sit flush with surrounding 15mm rubber tiles, forming the centre section of a platform-style setup.
Why It Matters
A stable, level surface matters for barbell training. It affects balance, foot placement, and how consistently you can train over time.
This bamboo insert provides:
- A firm, non-compressible base underfoot
- A defined lifting zone that keeps setups tidy and repeatable
- A cleaner alternative to lifting directly on rubber for foot contact
The cross-laminated bamboo construction helps resist flex and movement when installed correctly, while the polyurethane coating adds durability in high-use environments.
Used correctly - with plates dropped on surrounding rubber - it extends the life of both your flooring and your equipment.
