Gymnasium floors see significant wear and tear, and maintaining your gym floor is essential to keeping it looking its best. Vinyl gym flooring is a popular sports floor choice not only because of its durability but also because certain vinyl products are washable. When you can damp mop your gymnasium floor, you can give that flooring a deep cleaning when needed, keeping it looking clean while also prolonging its lifespan.

What Is the Best Washable Vinyl Flooring for Gyms?

At Greatmats, we offer several options for washable vinyl flooring for gyms. These vinyl products are suitable not only for use in a gymnasium, but may also be ideal for your basketball court, athletic facility, and fitness room flooring. These commercial vinyl flooring rolls should be installed by a licensed contractor, especially for permanent installations requiring seams to be heat welded or chemical welded. We’ve highlighted our top four products below to help you choose the best option for your gym and workout flooring.

Woodflex Maple Wood Grain Full Roll

The Woodflex Maple Wood Grain Full Roll is designed specifically for use in athletic facilities. This vinyl gym flooring roll features a closed-cell foam backing to help maximize shock absorption. The cushion back offers valuable protection to athletes.

At the same time, the floor creates an optimal coefficient of friction, giving athletes the grip they need while also letting them easily change direction. These qualities help reduce the chance of injury to athletes during fast-paced games and training drills.

The flooring is available in a highly realistic maple finish. You can paint court lines on the flooring, and it can be dry-mopped or vacuumed to remove dirt and debris. When you need a heavy-duty cleaning, you can mop the floor with a diluted neutral pH cleaning solution.

Athletic Vinyl Padded Roll

The Athletic Vinyl Padded Roll features a rubber base layer to help protect athletes’ knee and ankle joints. This padded flooring features a synthetic wood grain or stone surface that’s fusion bonded to the base layer. The fiberglass-reinforced vinyl surface layer is highly realistic, and the flooring helps create the ideal friction that athletes need to perform their best.

A wear layer maximizes the durability of this commercial rubber and vinyl gym flooring. It’s ideal for athletic settings as well as medical facilities, restrooms, exam rooms, physical therapy rooms, and schools, creating a cushioned floor to help maximize comfort. It can be wet-mopped for easy cleaning.

LonCourt UV Vinyl Rolls

The LonCourt UV Vinyl Rolls feature a look similar to maple plank flooring without the maintenance requirements of hardwood. These vinyl rolls make for easier installation, too, and are suitable for nearly any indoor sport. They’re a popular choice for volleyball and basketball, and you can paint court lines onto the flooring.

The vinyl surface features a high gloss urethane finish that’s very similar to the look of a hardwood basketball court. Unlike a hardwood floor, there’s no need to reapply that urethane finish. The vinyl offers appealing antimicrobial properties and contains recycled content. These vinyl rolls can be mopped with water and a neutral pH cleaner as needed to remove stubborn stains.

LonWood Performa Full Bolt

The LonWood Performa Full Bolt is a commercial quality vinyl flooring with a cushioned back to support athletes. It’s available in several wood grain finishes and its soft backing helps to dampen sound. The closed-cell foam backing also provides anti-fatigue properties, helping to keep athletes comfortable.

This flooring features 10% recycled content, making it an eco-friendly choice. It’s suitable for use in classrooms, yoga studios, dance studios, and as gym flooring. It also meets NCAA basketball rebound requirements.

This flooring can be mopped with a neutral pH cleaner to remove stains.

Buy Your Vinyl Gym Flooring

We have several vinyl gym floor products at Greatmats. Whether you’re looking for a floor covering for your athletic studio or need to choose flooring for your entire gym, washable vinyl makes for easier maintenance so you can preserve the floor’s appearance.


When choosing vinyl gym flooring, it’s important to not only consider whether the flooring is washable but to also think about its other characteristics. Look for flooring that creates ideal traction for athletes, since this can help to prevent injury. A floor that is cushioned helps to absorb shock and may help prevent injuries. That cushion may also dampen sound, which can make the entire gym a more enjoyable environment.

Don’t forget to review the flooring’s price, as well as its installation requirements and maintenance needs. You’ll need to factor installation into your budget, and maintenance will become an ongoing expense. Many vinyl flooring rolls don’t ever require sanding or refinishing, which can save on your maintenance costs and maximize the lifespan of the floor.
