Foam block floors are an
excellent rebound platform choice for gymnastics, cheerleading, martial
arts, etc. We supply the foam blocks, velcro attach panels together,
rolled Trocellen® or Volara® cross-linked
polyethylene foam rolls, and carpet. You purchase locally the plywood
panels and Liquid Nails adhesive. We do this because these materials
are readily accessible for anyone, and will save you substantial freight
charges.
Thirty two 4" Mini Cell blocks are glued to each 4' x 8' plywood panel (see
picture A to the right). The adhesive needs to dry overnight and then
the panels are turned over (picture B). All the panels are set next to
each other and then must be attached together so they won't move. If
the floor is a permanent set floor, use a second layer of wood and wood
screws to attach the 2 layers together. This top layer of wood is
positioned so it covers all the seams of the first layer. If the floor
may need to be moved, we have an excellent velcro system that attaches the
layers of wood together. This will allow the floor to be portable.
After the platform is built, you simply tape the rolls of cross-linked foam
together and lay the carpet over the top. We can provide Trocellen® or
Volara® foam rolls in several different thicknesses. When you call, we
can discuss you program needs and what product will best fit your situation.
Plush carpet can come with or without a velcro system to attach the carpet
rolls together. Foam can also be purchased with a low pile needle
punch carpet bonded to it. These carpet bonded foam rolls are very
portable and ideal for a multi-use facility. They attach with blue
hook velcro (included with the carpet bonded rolls). The picture at
the top of this page shows a foam block floor with the carpet bonded foam on
top. Picture C to the right shows a foam block floor with vinyl bonded
foam rolls (mostly used for martial arts and wrestling areas). Call
and we will explain how these products can benefit your program. |
