Armaguard Flex XPE Flooring & Wall Padding for Gyms and Martial Arts Studios in Singapore

Safety-focused flooring and wall protection are essential in gyms and martial arts studios — especially in environments where falls, throws, and high-impact movement are part of daily training. Armaguard Flex is our dedicated XPE-based solution designed for impact absorption, safety, and versatility across multiple training environments in Singapore.

Unlike generic foam mats, Armaguard Flex is engineered for professional use, offering consistent density, clean finishing, and reliable long-term performance.

What Is XPE Flooring and Why It’s Used in Gyms

XPE (cross-linked polyethylene) is a closed-cell foam material known for its shock absorption, resilience, and moisture resistance. In gym and martial arts applications, XPE is used where body impact protection is more important than heavy load resistance.

Key characteristics:

  • High shock absorption to reduce injury risk

  • Lightweight but structurally stable

  • Closed-cell structure that resists moisture and sweat

  • Easy to clean and hygienic

XPE is not intended to replace rubber flooring in heavy weight areas — instead, it complements gyms by covering safety-critical zones.

Armaguard Flex Applications in Real Gym Environments

Armaguard Flex is designed as a multi-use system, allowing the same material platform to be applied across different zones.

Gym Wall Padding

  • Protection against accidental impact near rigs and functional zones

  • Commonly installed behind squat racks, cable machines, and open training areas

  • Reduces injury risk while protecting walls from damage

Martial Arts Wall Protection

  • Suitable for BJJ, MMA, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, and Judo studios

  • Prevents injuries during throws, clinch work, and wall drills

  • Installed in continuous panels for clean, professional finish

Cushion Flooring Zones

  • Stretching and mobility areas

  • Functional training and bodyweight zones

  • Kids or beginner training areas

Why Armaguard Flex Instead of Generic XPE Mats

Not all XPE products are made equal. Many off-the-shelf foam mats are designed for temporary or home use and degrade quickly under repeated impact.

Armaguard Flex is:

  • Manufactured to consistent density specifications

  • Available in controlled thickness options for different safety needs

  • Designed for professional installation (wall or floor)

  • Finished for clean seams and long-term durability

This ensures predictable performance, especially in commercial settings.

Installation Considerations in Singapore

Proper installation is critical for safety and longevity.

Key factors we assess:

  • Substrate condition (wall flatness, floor level)

  • Adhesive selection compatible with XPE

  • Edge finishing and corner detailing

  • Integration with existing flooring systems

All installations are carried out with local building conditions and usage patterns in mind.

Who Armaguard Flex Is Best For

  • Martial arts academies and combat sports gyms

  • Functional training studios

  • Condo gyms with safety zones

  • Personal training studios

  • Multi-purpose fitness spaces requiring impact protection
