Overview of Gym Floor Installation

Kimminau Floors specializes in gym floor demolition and installation, making us the trusted partner for schools, fitness centers, and sports facilities. Whether you are constructing a new facility or replacing a floor that has sustained irreparable damage, our experienced team is ready to assist. We provide comprehensive services, including demolition, subfloor installation, and hardwood flooring installation. Our experts will guide you through a range of padded subfloor systems and various grades and thicknesses of maple, ensuring a solution tailored to your facility’s unique requirements and budget.

Grades of Maple:

  • First Grade (Grade 1): Premium quality with minimal natural variations, offering a uniform appearance ideal for high-end gyms or showcase facilities.
  • Second Grade (Grade 2): Features more natural color variations and imperfections, providing a balance between aesthetics and cost.
  • Third Grade (Grade 3): Displays the most character with knots and color variation, often chosen for facilities prioritizing function over appearance or seeking a rustic look.

Thickness Options:

  • 25/32-inch: Standard thickness for most gym floors, providing durability and resilience for various sports and activities.
  • 33/32-inch: Slightly thicker, offering enhanced longevity and stability, often chosen for high-traffic or competitive sports environments.

The choice of grade and thickness depends on factors like usage, budget, and the desired appearance. No matter the selection, maple gym floors deliver durability, performance, and timeless beauty.

Subfloor System Options

Hardwood gym floors are supported by a range of subfloor systems, each designed to meet specific performance, comfort, and budget needs. These systems typically fall into three main categories: Fixed Systems, Floating Systems, and Combination Systems.

  • Fixed Systems: These are directly attached to the concrete subfloor and provide a stable, durable base. They are ideal for facilities prioritizing long-term performance and consistent ball bounce.
  • Floating Systems: Built with a cushioned layer beneath the hardwood, these systems are not anchored to the concrete, offering enhanced shock absorption and player comfort. They are popular in multi-purpose gyms and sports facilities.
  • Combination Systems: These integrate features of both fixed and floating systems, balancing stability, shock absorption, and performance, making them versatile for a variety of sports and activities.

Each system can include additional features such as resilient pads, cushioning layers, or vapor barriers, all tailored to enhance the floor’s functionality and durability.
