One element that sets US colleges apart from the rest of the world is the unique sports opportunities that form an integral part of the college experience for many students.
College sports halls and gyms of all sizes are busy hubs of athletic activities, hosting a wide range of sports, games and physical education classes. Creating an environment for athletes to succeed is crucial. This is why many successful university campuses choose epoxy resin flooring for sports halls.
Read on to discover six reasons why epoxy resin flooring is ideal for the rigorous demands of a college sports hall or gymnasium.
Unparalleled durability and longevity
Everlast® Epoxy resin floors are famed for their exceptional durability. Our flooring can easily withstand heavy foot traffic and sports equipment use and endure the impacts of basketball, volleyball, and other high-intensity activities, without displaying signs of scuffs, scratches or wear and tear.
By investing in epoxy resin flooring, colleges can feel confident in a long-lasting, durable flooring solution for all types of sporting activity.
Enhanced safety measures for students
Safety is a paramount concern in sports halls and it’s an area where epoxy resin flooring excels. Everlast® Epoxy floors can be customized to include slip-resistant additives, reducing the risk of slips and falls. And it’s not just in the sports hall that a slip-resistant floor brings benefits. From locker rooms to bleachers, an epoxy resin floor offers a safer surface for athletes and spectators.
The trowled-on application method leaves a seamless, flat surface to help sportspeople perform at their best, whilst the impact resistance of resin floors helps absorb shocks, minimizing the chance of injuries during intense sporting activities.

Low maintenance and easy cleaning
Epoxy resin flooring offers universities a low-maintenance solution that saves time and effort, reducing the costs associated with maintenance.
The non-porous surface resists stains, dirt, and moisture, making it a breeze to clean. Maintenance is as easy as regularly sweeping and washing the floor with detergent and a squeegee to keep it pristine.
Sanitary sports hall flooring
Everlast® Epoxy floors create an inhospitable environment for microorganisms, reducing the risk of contamination within the sports hall. Having sanitary flooring in a sports hall is especially important in areas where athletes come into contact with the floor regularly.
Our flooring contains an EPA-registered antimicrobial component to inhibit the growth of bacteria and provide an extra layer of protection for floors against microbial contamination.
Customization and aesthetics
Epoxy resin floors provide universities with an opportunity to showcase their school identity. The surface can be customized with different colors and patterns, and even incorporate school logos.
By including team colors and motifs in the flooring, colleges can foster a sense of pride in their college among athletes, fans, and the broader campus community.
Longevity and cost efficiency
Everlast® Epoxy flooring has a remarkable lifespan when properly installed and maintained. It is resistant to abrasion, chemicals, and UV exposure, reducing the need for frequent replacements or repairs.
By selecting epoxy resin, universities can save on the costs associated with maintaining other types of flooring. The durability and longevity of epoxy resin flooring make it a wise investment for universities looking for a sustainable and cost-effective choice.
