A professionally designed and installed gymnasium floor is often the centerpiece in schools, community centers and athletic clubs. The large open surface of a gym floor provides one of the best areas for branding and showing team pride. Today’s gymnasiums are used around the clock providing space for a wide variety of sporting events, gym classes, and charity events, to just name a few. With such constant varied use it becomes evident that gym floors require continuous cleaning and maintenance to look great, provide a safe play area, and have a long useful life.

Gym Floor Maintenance

- Have a quality gym floor maintenance company recoat your wood gym floor at least once a year.
- Have a quality gym floor maintenance company resand and refinish your gym floor every 5 to 7 years.
- Manage patron, student and player traffic
- Keep water and liquids away from the gym floor
- Maintain and monitor bleachers and other heavy equipment that is used on the gym floor.
- Do not allow sharp objects like chair legs and furniture to be used on the floor.
- Install ceiling mounted volleyball nets to protect the floor from damage due to heavy steel volleyball standards.
- Monitor potential water damage areas like drinking fountains and exterior doors.
- Repair problem floor areas immediately to protect players from injury and to minimize the cost of repair.
