Gym Floor Installation Planning Considerations

|---|---|---|
| Facility Downtime | School breaks, off-seasons, event schedules | Prevents disruptions to programs |
| Subfloor Condition | Concrete quality, flatness, moisture | Directly impacts floor lifespan |
| Intended Use | Daily PE, competitive sports, community events | Determines system type and finish selection |
| Traffic Volume | Students, athletes, spectators | Affects durability requirements |
| Future Maintenance | Screen & recoat or refinishing compatibility | Reduces long-term ownership cost |
What Separates a Professional Gym Floor Installation
| Installation Element | Professional Installation | Inadequate Installation |
|---|---|---|
| Subfloor Evaluation | Assessed and corrected before install | Ignored or assumed acceptable |
| Moisture Consideration | Tested and addressed | Overlooked until failure occurs |
| System Selection | Based on facility use | One-size-fits-all approach |
| Installation Method | Manufacturer-approved process | Shortcuts to save time |
| Long-Term Performance | Designed for maintenance cycles | Prone to early wear or failure |

We install flooring systems that support:
Multiple sports and activities

New Installation vs Refinishing vs Screen & Recoat
Gym floors follow a lifecycle:
Installation → foundation and performance
Screen & Recoat → routine maintenance
Refinishing & Sanding → surface restoration
Installing the right system upfront reduces long-term costs and maintenance disruption.
