Gyms & Schools
Multi-purpose is the name of the game for gymnasiums these days, and GYM FLEX™Gym Court by Flex Court was designed with multi-use in mind. Basketball, Volleyball, and a host of other athletic activities can be played on Gym Court. Improved structural strength, and surface rigidity, provide for excellent ball return, whatever the sport is in mind.
Traditionally, gym floors were made of wood. Think back to high school and you can picture it - solid wood with enough stripes painted on to accommodate every sport you ever played - basketball, volleyball, even floor hockey and badminton. Science now teaches us that those traditional floors can cause high-impact injuries on athletes' shins, knees and other joints.
The new generation GYM FLEX™ Synthetic Gym Court flooring is your solution for multi-purpose gyms.
New gym flooring materials
If your school is looking to replace its gym floor, you may want to suggest they look into some of the newer options available. For instance, recommend gym flooring made of synthetic materials - they reduce fatigue injuries to the shins, calves, back and joints. If the gymnasium at your or your child's school has a wood floor that needs to be either refinished or replaced, there are some options available and some points that should be considered. Gym floors should have:
- Shock absorption
- Elasticity
- Stability
