Floor Cover Facts
The main differences between the various covers are the thickness of the vinyl wear coating and the strength of the fabric core. The thicker the coating, the more durable the cover. Also, the higher the tenacity of the core fabric, the more the cover will resist abuse and tearing.
All Covermaster covers are coated with an equal thickness of wear coating on both sides and can be used with either side up. (Covers that are coated unequally are limited to use on one side only).
The cover should meet your needs for strength, durability, general wear and tear, and colour choice.
What to consider? Two main factors: the type of events and the frequency of use. This, of course, depends on local needs and opportunities.
For example, many facilities use their gym at least once a month for dances, concerts, trade shows and other events that require tables, chairs and other furniture. This calls for a cover with a high resistance to tearing and a thick, durable outer wear coating.
Sizing and Model Selection
For ease of handling, we recommend a cover that is made in sections measuring ten feet in width by the length of the floor. For example, a 56' x 100' gymnasium would require a cover manufactured in 6 sections that are each 10' wide x 100' long. This allows some overlap on each section.
One Piece Covers Not Practical
The idea of a cover that consists of one or two large sections may sound appealing; however it is not at all practical. Large sections could weigh between 175 to 450 lbs. For obvious reasons, you’ll need more staff to handle a cover of this size.
Also, with larger sections, you have no choice but to fold the cover for storage. This in turn creates the problem of permanent creases (see Storage and Handling).
