Options for Gym Flooring Rolls
Gym flooring rolls are available for a variety of athletic practices and games, protecting the subfloor and the athletes’ health. At Greatmats, we carry gym floor rolls consisting of a variety of materials, including rubber, artificial turf, carpet, and vinyl. Most gymnasium flooring rolls have a low cost per square foot, giving commercial gym owners a good value.
Vinyl rolls may look like a wood basketball court, and you can paint lines on them. Rubber rolls are extremely durable and provide athletes with high traction for almost any workout. Cushioned rolls with a vinyl or carpet top layer are the best products for workouts in martial arts, cheerleading, and tumbling.
Although these heavy-duty rolls match commercial quality, the pricing means you can use them at home, too. The right gym floor roll cover is the perfect finishing touch at any gym space, generating the professional look that will make your fitness center the most popular spot in the neighborhood.
Types and Styles of Gym Flooring Rolls
Roll-up floors for gymnasiums from Greatmats are typically available in three configurations.
Rubber Rolls
Rubber gym flooring rolls offer unmatched durability, allowing them to stand up to the toughest workouts. They usually have thicknesses between 1/4 and 1/2 inch, making them easier to roll out and install than thicker rubber mats.
Rubber provides traction during tough workouts and protects the subfloor from damage from weights or exercise equipment. It also absorbs noise and provides a little bit of cushioning for athletes.
Vinyl Rolls
Vinyl rolls often have a printed pattern that resembles wood planks, as you’d find with a basketball floor. The vinyl is paintable, so you can add lines to fit your needs for practices or games. Some vinyl rolls have padding secured underneath the vinyl to make the floor more comfortable to use. Some people use vinyl flooring gym rolls to create a surface for pickleball or tennis.
Turf Rolls
Artificial turf and grass rolls are a good choice for baseball, softball, football, soccer, golf, and other athletic practices. Turf rolls are durable, and you can use them for sled workouts. Match the pile height on the artificial turf gym rolls to the type of workout that you want to do. Some artificial turf rolls have a padded layer attached to the back, which is helpful in an indoor gym setting.
