Bexley gym flooring — zoned by discipline
Gyms fail flooring in three specific spots — the deadlift platform, the treadmill row and the studio pivot line. In Bexley we spec each with the right rubber thickness (15mm+ under weights, 8mm cardio, sprung vinyl studio) so the whole facility outlasts the equipment.

What we check first on a Bexley vinyl job
- Bexley subfloor reality
Victorian cottages often have suspended timber over ventilated voids — careful nailing only.
- Coving
For bathrooms we can cove the vinyl up the wall 100mm to seal the floor properly.
- Subfloor
On older victorian cottages we overlay with ply before laying vinyl so the boards underneath don't telegraph through.
