Gym Floor Service FAQs

The timeline for gym floor installation depends on factors like the size of the space, flooring type, and any customizations. Typically, installation takes about 1-2 weeks. If demolition is needed, expect an additional week. For refinishing, including sanding and painting game lines or graphics, the process usually takes 2-3 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the project.
Maple hardwood is the most common choice for gym floors because of its exceptional durability, strength, and shock absorption, making it ideal for athletic use. It also provides a smooth, high-performance surface for sports. There are different grades of maple that affect the appearance of the floor. First-grade maple offers a clean, consistent look, while second and third grades feature more natural color variations for a unique, textured appearance.
A gym floor should typically be refinished every 8-10 years, depending on the level of use and the condition of the floor. Refinishing involves sanding the floor down to bare wood, repairing any damage, and applying new finish and game lines. However, to extend the time between full refinishing, annual maintenance such as screening and re-coating is highly recommended. This process refreshes the surface by adding a protective layer, which helps maintain the floor’s appearance and durability while preventing more serious wear and tear.
Screening and refinishing are two different processes for maintaining a gym floor. Screening, also known as buffing, involves lightly sanding the top layer of the floor’s finish to remove minor surface scratches and imperfections. A new coat of finish is then applied, restoring the floor’s shine and providing protection. It’s a quick and less invasive option, typically done as part of routine maintenance. Refinishing, on the other hand, is a more comprehensive process that involves sanding the floor down to the bare wood, repairing any damage, and applying multiple layers of new finish. Refinishing is usually done every 8-10 years or when the floor shows significant wear and tear. 
To keep a gym floor in good condition, regular maintenance is key. Daily dust mopping removes dirt and debris that can scratch the surface, and spot cleaning with a neutral pH cleaner prevents stains and damage. Weekly deep cleaning with an auto-scrubber helps remove stubborn grime, while monthly inspections catch early signs of wear or moisture issues. Annually, screening and recoating refresh the finish and provide extra protection. It’s also important to control indoor humidity, use proper mats, and ensure equipment is padded to avoid damage. This routine care extends the lifespan and performance of the gym floor.
Humidity and moisture can significantly impact gym floors, especially hardwood surfaces. When humidity levels are too high, the wood can absorb moisture from the air, causing it to expand, which may lead to warping, buckling, or cupping. Conversely, low humidity levels can cause the wood to dry out and contract, resulting in gaps, cracks, or splintering. Maintaining consistent indoor humidity levels between 35% and 50% is crucial to prevent these issues. Additionally, moisture from spills or improper cleaning methods can damage the floor’s finish and seep into the wood, leading to long-term structural damage. Proper ventilation and moisture control are essential to preserve the floor’s integrity and performance. 
We provide both fixed and floating subfloor systems, each designed to offer varying levels of shock absorption and stability, tailored to the specific needs of your facility and the type of sports or activities being performed. Our team is experienced in installing a wide range of pads and subfloor systems from Aacer Sports Flooring, ensuring optimal performance, durability, and safety for your gym floor. The right choice depends on your facility’s requirements and the desired level of athletic performance.
No, the gym floor needs time to cure after installation or refinishing. Depending on the type of finish applied, it typically requires between 72 hours to two weeks before the floor is ready for regular use. This curing period ensures the finish fully hardens, providing optimal protection and performance for the long term.
You can identify when it’s time to refinish your gym floor by looking for signs such as a dull appearance, visible wear, or minor surface damage. If you notice deep scratches, warping, or substantial damage to the wood, it may be necessary to consider replacing the floor altogether. Regular maintenance and inspections can help assess the condition of your floor and determine whether refinishing or replacement is required.
