Screen and Re-coat or Sand and Refinish?
Gym floor refinishing involves the following:- Screen and Re-coat : Abrading the existing intact floor finish so that the new finish will adhere well to it, then applying 1 to 2 coats of fresh finish.
- Sand and Refinish: Sanding the floor down to bare wood, removing all finish, game lines, logo and sealer- then sealing the bare wood, painting new logo and new game lines then applying fresh finish coats.

After having your gym floor screened and re-coated, there are steps you can take to properly maintain it.- Sweep daily: use a properly treated dust mop. If the floor receives a lot of traffic, we recommend sweeping it up to three times a day.
- Wipe up spills: since wood is porous, it will absorb any moisture, causing it to expand. So clean up any moisture on the flooring.
- Be mindful of the humidity: maintain your indoor humidity between 35% and 50% year-round. In areas of consistently high or low outside humidity, a 15% fluctuation will not adversely affect the maple.
- Always protect your flooring: when moving heavy portable equipment, lifts or bleachers. And make sure they don’t have crowned wheels or wheels that include center ridges remaining from the molding process. These types of wheels can create very significant point loads.
- Do not use any chemicals: household cleaners can be harmful to the floor finish and it could leave your floors sticky or slippery.
