Outfitting a commercial gym space, athletic facility or fitness center is an enormous undertaking.   Along with equipment, furniture and lighting, you need solid flooring.  Putting the right floor down and installing it correctly is key to ensuring the floor performs at a high level and works as hard as the people using it do.  Rubber flooring has become the industry standard because of its sleek look, impact resistance, durability and ease of maintenance.  

Commercial gym flooring installation is more than just rolling out the rubber and placing equipment on top. 

It requires precise measurements and cuts, expert knowledge of the materials and a thorough understanding of the spaces intended use. Professional gym flooring installation protects against the rubber flooring shifting and bubbling underneath of your machines.  It also ensures seamless, straight, finished edges around the built-in equipment, support beams and the perimeter of the room.  These mistakes are not only a big eye sore, but can also create safety hazards that can lead to costly liabilities.  

One of the biggest challenges with rubber flooring installation are precision cuts around the perimeter walls and any permanent fixtures in the room.  Rubber is able to be cut in a straight line relatively easily with some elbow grease.  Unfortunately walls longer than a few feet are rarely straight.  With rubber flooring, multifaceted support beams requiring numerous cuts can be very difficult to finish professionally. 

That’s where the expertise comes in.  Uneven seams or misaligned rubber gym mats can give even the most well-equipped facility an unfinished look.  If gym goers walk into a space that looks unfinished, it sets the tone for how they feel about the entire experience.    

Commercial gym flooring installation is a specialized trade that requires skill, experience and the right tools. 

This is not a job for general contractors or inexperienced crews.  Details matter.  When you invest in professional rubber flooring installation you are investing in peace of mind, knowing your floors will remain safe, attractive and functional for years to come
