Why Our Gym Floor Covers are Right for Your Athletic Program
High school coaches, college coaches, club coaches, athletic directors, and sports facility managers all share a major facility concern: protecting the massive investment of a hardwood gymnasium floor. Gyms are rarely used just for basketball or volleyball; they frequently serve as multi-purpose venues for pep rallies, banquets, concerts, and graduations. Hundreds of street shoes, high heels, and folding chairs can cause catastrophic damage to the court's finish. Our selection of protective gym floor covers and carpet tiles is engineered specifically to provide an impenetrable barrier against this wear and tear. For sports facility managers handling rapid event turnarounds, our motorized winders and multi-roller storage racks make deploying and storing heavy vinyl covers an incredibly fast, two-person job. Every protective cover we offer is designed to extend the life of your court's finish, saving your school tens of thousands of dollars in premature floor sanding and refinishing costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What weight of vinyl floor cover is best for my gymnasium?
The ideal weight depends on how frequently the gym is used for non-sporting events. For occasional assemblies or light foot traffic, an 18 oz. cover is highly effective. For heavy-duty use, such as trade shows, concerts, or events with heavy tables and staging, we recommend the thicker 27 oz. covers for maximum puncture resistance.
2. Are the Gymguard vinyl floor covers slip-resistant?
Yes. Our premium vinyl gym floor covers are manufactured with a specialized textured surface designed to provide excellent traction for pedestrian traffic, reducing the risk of slip-and-fall accidents during your events.
3. How do we tape the seams of the floor cover sections together?
When laying out the 10-foot wide sections, you should slightly overlap the edges and secure them using our specialized, residue-free floor tape. We also offer a highly convenient Gymguard Hand Tape Layer to make walking the seams and applying the tape fast and ergonomic.
4. Can the Gymguard Mobile Storage Racks damage our hardwood floor?
No, the mobile storage racks are equipped with heavy-duty, non-marring polyurethane wheels designed specifically to support extreme weight while gliding safely over delicate hardwood surfaces without leaving scratches or black marks.
5. Do you accept school purchase orders for gym floor cover systems?
Absolutely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and facility managers can easily submit a PO to streamline their procurement process.
6. How do I maintain and clean the vinyl covers?
Regular maintenance is easy. You can sweep or use a damp mop to clean spills off the vinyl surface while it is deployed. For ultimate convenience, we recommend adding the Gymguard Self Cleaning Brush System to your storage rack, which automatically sweeps the cover as it is rolled up.
