Can Gym Floor Get Wet?
You chose the right gym floor. You have done your research on how to clean the gym rubber floor. Many other floorings, such as LVP, are water resistant. Is that the same? Can we leave water on the rubber floor?
In short, yes. Gym rubber flooring can get wet. It is water resistant. But, like all other flooring, it is not waterproof.
Our very own gym floor, GymFlexx has been through vulcanization. This makes the rubber denser than rubber that hasn’t undergone vulcanization yet. When it is denser, especially at the molecular level, it makes the rubber less porous. Thus, it makes our gym floor more water resistant.
After vulcanization, rubber becomes stronger and has better elasticity. We all know why elasticity is a very strong consideration for a gym floor. It improves strength, durability, and surface strength.
So gym floor can get wet?
Yes. Like LVT and LVP flooring, you can’t leave water on gym rubber flooring for too long. This is because there are seams. Seams are formed when putting rubber tiles side by side. When you have pooling of water, water may seep between the two tiles. The seams of rubber flooring are important. They help with expansion and contraction in varying temperatures.
Can I waterproof my gym floor then?
Yes. But is it necessary? If waterproofing a flooring such as a gym floor is going to add significant cost to doing your floor. Have a water-resistant gym floor like Gymflexx is more than enough for a home gym and a commercial gym. One of the ways to maintain the water resistance and durability of your gym floor is to clean your gym floor. Cleaning the gym floor can be very easy.
