Screen & Recoat vs Full Refinish
| Screen & Recoat | Full Sand & Refinish |
|---|---|
| Light abrasion only | Deep sanding to bare wood |
| Restores traction and appearance | Fully resets the floor surface |
| Lower cost maintenance option | Higher upfront investment |
| Shorter downtime | Longer facility closure |
| Extends life of existing finish | Removes old finish completely |
| Ideal for routine upkeep | Required for severe wear or damage |
What Is a Screen & Recoat?
A screen and recoat is a maintenance process designed to refresh and protect gym flooring without sanding down to bare wood or replacing the surface.
The process includes:
Light abrasion (“screening”) of the existing finish
Deep cleaning to remove dust and residue
Application of a new protective polyurethane coating
This restores:
Slip resistance
Floor appearance
Surface protection
Consistent performance
Ideal Candidates for Screen & Recoat
A screen and recoat is recommended when:
The finish is dull, scratched, or worn
Traction has decreased
The floor looks aged but is still structurally sound
You want to extend floor life without full refinishing
When Screen & Recoat Is Appropriate
What to consider:
| Good Candidate for Screen & Recoat | Not a Good Candidate |
|---|---|
| Finish looks dull or scratched | Bare wood is exposed |
| Loss of traction | Deep gouges or structural damage |
| Floor is structurally sound | Peeling or failing finish |
| Preventative maintenance stage | Missed maintenance for many years |
| Wants minimal downtime | Needs full performance reset |
Recommended Screen & Recoat Maintenance Cycle
Waiting too long between maintenance cycles increases the risk of needing a full sand and refinish instead of a screen and recoat. Regular recoating preserves traction, protects the underlying floor, and lowers long-term ownership cost.
| Facility Type | Typical Recoat Frequency | Primary Reason |
|---|---|---|
| School Gymnasiums | Every 12–24 months | Heavy seasonal use, safety needs |
| Basketball Courts | Every 12–18 months | Traction consistency |
| Training Facilities | Every 18–24 months | Controlled traffic patterns |
| Recreation Centers | Every 12–24 months | Mixed-use wear |
| Light-Use Private Gyms | Every 24–36 months | Preventative maintenance |
When It’s NOT Enough
A screen and recoat is not appropriate if:
Wood is exposed
Deep gouges or damage exist
The finish is peeling or failing
Structural floor repairs are needed
If a full refinish is required, we’ll tell you—no upsell, no guesswork.
Benefits of Screening & Recoating Gym Floors
Lower cost than full sanding and refinishing
Shorter downtime for schools and facilities
Improved safety with restored traction
Extended floor lifespan
Cleaner, brighter appearance
This is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your gym flooring investment.
Our Screen & Recoat Process
Step 1: Floor Evaluation
We inspect the existing floor condition to confirm screening and recoating is appropriate.
Step 2 – Surface Preparation
The floor is lightly abraded to ensure proper adhesion of the new coating.
Step 3 – Professional Recoat
We apply a commercial-grade polyurethane finish designed for athletic performance and durability.
Step 4 – Cure & Return to Use
After proper curing time, the floor is ready for safe use—without long-term shutdown.
