Athletic Flooring

Dex-O-Tex Gym-Flor II is a synthetic gymnasium floor that, from below, seals out moisture and deterioration while providing resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and moisture from above. The floor also has a low burning rate and negligible smoke production, and is unaffected by prolonged exposure to water, the company says. They also point out that tests show basketball rebound characteristics are practically identical to wood gymnasium floors.

Consisting of synthetic rubber latex combined with special cements and mineral fillers, the product is troweled into place then topped with coats of pigmented resin. Game lines (or logos and banners) are applied to the floor, then the entire surface is finished with a clear protective resin material.
