Get Your Gym Ceilings and Walls in Shape for the New Year

At Continental Flooring Company, we pride ourselves on delivering innovative solutions for gyms and sports facilities to improve functionality, acoustics, and aesthetics. As a trusted industry leader since 1979, we partner with Armstrong, a pioneer in ceiling and wall products, to bring you the best in sports facility design. Whether you’re addressing acoustics during the design phase or after the athletes and crowds arrive, the right sound control can make a world of difference. School gyms, especially those with open ceilings, often suffer from excessive reverberation. The enthusiastic energy of noisy crowds can create acoustical challenges, leaving people struggling to hear and be heard. Armstrong’s acoustical solutions are designed to blend in or stand out, helping you regain control of the sound environment in your gym. Here are some of Armstrong’s top products tailored for gyms and sports facilities.
