ACCESSORIES
A gym floor is not complete without a few accessories. Wood athletic floors require a specific kind of wall base, and transitions at entryways and where the flooring ends.
WALL BASE
Wood athletic floors require vented cove base for the walls. This type of wall base is vented to allow air flow underneath the floor. This keeps moisture from being trapped under the wood, which can cause cupping.
TRANSITIONS
Wood athletic floors also require specific types of transitions – mostly at doorways.
With a new facility, this is made easier by recessing the concrete slab to accommodate the height of the floor. In that case, only an aluminum threshold is needed.
However, if the project is a renovation, the new floor height might not match the current slab depression. In that case, ramps will be needed to offset the height difference. Here at Sports Floors, Inc., we can offer rubber ramps or wood ramps, depending on your preference.
Either way, we can install the right flooring system for you, complete with accessories. Give us a call to get started!
COURT COVER
Protect your investment between games. A gym floor cover lets you host banquets, assemblies, graduations and trade shows without risking the finish underneath. Roll-out systems deploy fast with a small crew, seam together for full coverage, and store on a rack that keeps the material clean and out of the way. Sports Floors, Inc. can size a cover to your court and show you the fastest way to put it down and pick it back up.
VOLLEYBALL INSERTS & COVER PLATES
Volleyball standards need floor sockets set into the slab, and those sockets need covers when the net comes down. Inserts are installed flush with the finished floor, and hinged or swiveling cover plates seal them off so the surface stays smooth and safe for basketball, assemblies and everyday PE. We can add inserts to an existing floor or build them into a new installation, and we stock replacement cover plates when the originals go missing.
