Comparison with the sister model
The same tile is available with a slip-resistant polypropylene underside. The manufacturer specifies EN 12503-3 and the IJF label only for this version—it is the better choice for loose-laid surfaces and competitions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
4 or 5 cm—what's the difference?
The 5-cm panel has 1 centimeter more material at the same density of 230 kg/m³ and is therefore heavier: 12 kg instead of 9.5 kg (1 × 1 m) or 24 kg instead of 19 kg (2 × 1 m).
Is this tatami IJF-approved?
No. The manufacturer only assigns the IJF label and EN 12503-3 certification to the rice straw version with anti-slip properties. For competition surfaces, choose the non-slip version.
Why a smooth underside?
The smooth version is designed for areas held in place by edge strips or a mat recess. When laid directly on a smooth gym floor, it lacks anti-slip properties.
How many plates do I need?
A 1 × 1 m panel covers 1 m²; a 2 × 1 m panel covers 2 m². For 100 m², you'll need 100 small panels or 50 large panels. The minimum order quantity is 10 pieces.
