Vinyl Floor Covers

Our vinyl floor covers are a popular option for use over gym floors and other large surfaces. The 18-ounce vinyl floor covering is economical, yet ultra-durable, making it an excellent investment. This floor covering is waterproof, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and rot and mildew resistant, ensuring a long-lasting product that you can use time and time again. The seams are strong and lay smooth and flat, and the cover is easy to unroll. Best of all, it exceeds ADA and OSHA requirements for slip-resistant surfaces, helping to keep your guests safe while protecting your gym floor at the same time.

Our vinyl floor covers are offered in 10, 18, 22, 27 and 32 ounce vinyls. The gym floor cover is available in rolls 10 feet wide and is sold by the linear foot. This covering comes with 3- to 17-year limited warranties, depending on the weight of the vinyl, and are reversible.

Eighteen-ounce vinyl floor covers are intended for limited use of 6 times per year or less while the 32-ounce version is designed four times that amount of use and more.

If you choose to purchase a vinyl cover, consider ordering one of our safety storage racks, as well. These racks are available in six, eight, and 10 roller models which can support up to 3,600 pounds of cover. The safety storage racks not only make storage simpler, but the installation process easier as well.

For isolated areas of your gym floor such as the sidelines, we offer gym floor cover vinyl runners, made of 32-ounce vinyl. These protective floor runners are 4 or 5 feet in width and extend 50 feet in length. They're perfect for adding extra protection when you don't need to cover your whole gym floor. Whether you need to place tables, chairs, or other objects on the sidelines, these covers offer an attractive way to protect your flooring.

Carpet Tiles

An alternative to our vinyl flooring, our Gym Floor Covering Carpet Tile gives your gym a comfortable, durable, and attractive surface perfect for any event. These tiles measure 39-3/8 by 78-3/4 inches, so they can quickly cover larger spaces. These tiles offer people plenty of traction, creating a safe space while preserving your gym floor. The tiles are heavy enough so that they won't slide around, and one person can usually install and lay out the tiles. Carpet tiles make a durable and attractive way to protect your gym floor for events, classes, and more.

We also offer smaller protective carpet tiles such as the CarpetFlex Floor tiles, which feature a snap together raised modular tile system. CarpetFlex tiles are also non-slip and waterproof and offer anti-fatigue benefits. The protective carpet tile option also offers additional warmth and attractiveness with its ribbed surface. It can be also used in areas where moisture is present. CarpetFlex floor tiles come with a 1-year limited warranty are available in gray and tan and require a 20 tile minimum order.

Additional Floor Protection Products

We offer a number of other products that can protect your gym floor while simultaneously making it a more versatile, useful space.

Our Gym Turf 365 Portable Indoor Sports Turf can quickly transform your gym into a sports field. There's no adhesive or infilling needed, and the turf is easy to install and uninstall. This turf provides players with excellent traction while also protecting them from injury. It won't cause turf burns, and ensures that you can always practice, even if the weather outside is terrible.

For floor protection in high-traffic areas, consider our Protect All Interlocking Floor Tile. These tiles are made of a durable PVC, and feature an easy interlocking design that allows for installation in just minutes. You can install these tiles directly on any hard, flat surface indoors, and the 18x18 inch sized tiles quickly cover larger areas. The tiles are non-absorbent and are backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

If your gym also includes a stage, then our Stage Mats are a must-have for both the stage's protection and the safety of students and athletes. These mats feature a leather embossed 14-ounce vinyl covering that is Class A flame retardant. The 90-degree L-shaped pads are designed specifically for stage application, and are custom made with a 1-1/4 inch high density foam for excellent padding and shock absorption. These pads are mildew and abrasion resistant, and they meet all emissions criteria for Greenguard Children and Schools Certification. Available with multiple attachment options, you can purchase these mats in a variety of bright, eye-catching colors so that you can incorporate your school's own colors.

For outdoor sports fields, we offer a number of ground protection mats which can help to preserve your turf's integrity when heavy vehicles need to access the field, or when you're expecting heavy foot traffic, such as during a graduation ceremony. Our ground protection mats can be used to create a temporary road or path, so your turf or field doesn't get torn up or worn during an event or a repair. These protective floor mats can be easily connected to create a continuous surface, and since they're designed for outdoor use, they help to preserve grass growth even when installed. Once your event or maintenance is complete, you can remove the protective flooring, and your field will be none the worse for wear.

These protective floor mats can save you costly repair costs, and also mean that your field can be used again immediately. They're a must-have for a busy athletic space which serves multiple purposes or which sees many practices each day.
