Gym Mats for Schools – recommendations.

With the announcement of the school PE Grants we have been asked by schools what gym mats we recommend? At Fitness Functions we refer schools to the Department of Education’s recommendations in their sports hall tender packages; 406 (small sports halls) & 594 (larger sports halls).

The two gym mats currently recommended by the Department of Education for PE general exercises are the PE10A Horizontal Gym Mat and the PE10B Lightweight Vertical Gym Mat from the Department’s furniture lists as below.

1.) Horizontal Storage type Flame Retardant Gymnastic Mat. gymnastics mat
