Vinyl Gym Flooring

Options for Vinyl Gym Flooring

Not every facility can afford to install beautiful hardwood planks when seeking a gymnasium floor. Greatmats has the ideal solution for you: vinyl gym flooring. Many vinyl options look like the real thing, and it’s far easier to maintain and install than actual wood. It delivers the safe surface that your athletes need to make the most of their workouts and games.

If you are fortunate enough to have a beautiful hardwood floor already in place, Greatmats can help you protect it. We offer coverings for gymnasiums that are multi-purpose rooms for hosting non-sports and sports events alike. If you have vinyl gym flooring, these coverings work to protect it and keep it looking like new.

Types of Vinyl Flooring for a Gymnasium

When you are looking for flooring for a gymnasium, Greatmats offers both vinyl floors that look like wood and vinyl coverings that protect actual wood gym floors from damage.

• Vinyl rolls: Vinyl rolls are a great way to cover large spaces with minimal seams. This is often the most economical choice for large projects. Remember, though, that a roll of vinyl flooring for a gym can be very heavy and require multiple people to install it. Some rolls contain padding attached to the back, which can be convenient.
  
• PVC floor tiles: PVC offers a colorful gym floor tile option. Each tile usually measures 1x1 foot, making it easy to install. PVC tiles are waterproof and resistant to oils and acids. The average lifespan is 20 years, ensuring plenty of use.
  
• Vinyl floor covers and runners: If you have a traditional wood gym floor layout, you can use our gym floor covering to protect it during events other than sports where you want to bring out tables and chairs. The cover rolls up when it’s not in use.

Benefits of Vinyl Sports Flooring

With the multiple gym flooring vinyl materials we offer, you can pick the perfect configuration for your needs. No matter which type of vinyl flooring for a gymnasium that you select, you receive a number of benefits, including:

• Extra comfortable workout spaces that help to soften the brunt of falls
  
• Provides appropriate traction for a variety of activities
  
• Some products look like real wood flooring
  
• Can withstand heavy traffic, keeping the area looking great
  
• Low maintenance and easy to install and care for
