Fitness and Floors – Getting Your Facility in Shape with Sport Flooring

It’s a New Year and everyone is busy working on their resolutions and fitness always seems to be in the mix. What goes on the floor can also have a significant impact on the results. Sport and fitness flooring have evolved. As facilities have grown and changed, sport flooring has had to keep step. Sport flooring is no longer limited to gyms and weight rooms. “Sport flooring” can also be used in non-traditional applications such as in classrooms, high-traffic hallways and more. From interlocking tiles, rolls or sheet rubber to vinyl tile and weight room matting for both indoor and outdoor applications, there is a solution to get your floor in shape. There are a number of factors to consider when planning a sport floor for your facility, including:

• The types of activities to take place on the surface
• Whether or not specific requirements or standards need to be met
• The amount of weight and wear that will be put on the floor
• How the space will be used in the future and the life cycle of the floor
• The condition and type of subfloor
• Ease of installation
• Aesthetics
• Maintenance needs
• Budgets
