Removing a Cushioned Vinyl Floor from a Gym

In this video you’ll see how to remove a cushioned vinyl gym floor with a Blast Pro floor scraper.

Pockets of water had become trapped between the cushioned vinyl and the concrete floor slab. The only way to extract the water, was to slice up the floor. In other words, the flooring had to be removed.

The other problem was that the cushioned vinyl flooring was too rubbery, increasing strain on player’s lower extremities as they start, stop, and change direction during play. This causes fatigue and causes more injuries.

The cushioned vinyl flooring was replaced with Sport Court® Response High Gloss Maple Select. It’s known as the “Safest Gym Floor in the World”™. Response flooring is statically proven to reduce injuries by roughly 50% compared to similar play on other gym floor surfaces. (Injury data provided by Nike Tournament of Champions.)

Injury reductions on Sport Court® gym flooring are due to the floor’s unique ability to absorb lateral energy forces. This is the energy that is transmitted into the floor when a athlete makes an abrupt change in motion. Such as when they start, stop, or change directions.
