Gymnasium Flooring & Protective Covers

Options for Gymnasium Flooring

When you have a space for athletics at your fitness center, school, city center, YMCA, or church, you need to keep the floor in tip-top condition to ensure all athletes have a great experience. Using the right gymnasium flooring or a high-quality protective gymnasium matting for the existing floor is a key step.

If the space must serve as a multi-purpose location, finding the right gymnasium flooring options makes it easier to practice a wide variety of sports or to host other events without damaging the existing floor. Greatmats has everything you need to fit the exact use case you have for your gym space, whether you need temporary flooring or something more permanent with protective options.

Types of Gymnasium Flooring

We offer numerous gymnasium floor types to fit the specific plans you have for the space.

• Interlocking Tiles: You can install interlocking modular tiles over the top of the gym flooring system to provide cushion, comfort, and style. These tiles are conveniently sized for a DIY installation. Pick among rubber, vinyl, polypropylene plastic, and PVC tiles.
  
• Vinyl Rolls: Vinyl rolls are perfect for all kinds of sports, creating a faux wood grain style of floor that is easy to maintain; some include padding.
  
• Temporary Gym Floor Covers: When you have high-quality school gym flooring already in place, you can protect it during other types of events with gym floor covers. They are available in multiple colors and have enough durability to stand up to tables and chairs.
