Gym and studio flooring in Petts Wood
Gyms fail flooring in three specific spots — the deadlift platform, the treadmill row and the studio pivot line. In Petts Wood we spec each with the right rubber thickness (15mm+ under weights, 8mm cardio, sprung vinyl studio) so the whole facility outlasts the equipment.
What gym & studio flooring in Petts Wood actually involves
Gyms fail flooring in three specific spots — the deadlift platform, the treadmill row and the studio pivot line. In Petts Wood we spec each with the right rubber thickness (15mm+ under weights, 8mm cardio, sprung vinyl studio) so the whole facility outlasts the equipment.
Original parquet is common under old carpet — we always lift to inspect before quoting a replacement.
Before we quote a vinyl job in Petts Wood
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Petts Wood kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older 1930s mock-tudor detached we overlay with ply before laying vinyl so the boards underneath don't telegraph through.
- Coving
For bathrooms we can cove the vinyl up the wall 100mm to seal the floor properly.
- Heavy-duty rubber tile and roll for weight zones
- Sprung sports vinyl for studios
- Shock-absorbing underlay so upstairs neighbours don't complain
- Zoned by discipline — weights, cardio, studio, changing
Bottom line: the deadlift platform is a different floor to the studio. Spec each right.
