How can I protect the gym floor sidelines during Basketball and Volleyball games?
Protecting your gym floor is crucial during basketball and volleyball games, especially along the sidelines, under players’ chairs, and around scoring tables.
The constant foot traffic and wear can lead to costly refinishing or even full floor replacements.
Enhance Mats offers the best solution with their high-quality basketball rugs, designed specifically for gym floor protection.
Unlike the old heavy carpet runners and vinyl runners, these rugs provide unparalleled durability and ease of use.
Why Choose Basketball Rugs for Gym Floor Protection?
Enhanced Durability and Protection
Basketball rugs from Enhance Mats are crafted with a unique combination of materials that offer superior protection compared to traditional carpet or vinyl runners.
These rugs feature a durable carpet surface with a waterproof backing, ensuring that moisture does not seep through to the gym floor, thus preventing damage.
Superior Design Over Traditional Runners
Traditional heavy carpet runners and vinyl runners have their drawbacks.
Carpet runners can become heavy and difficult to handle, while vinyl runners may not offer the best long-term durability or protection.

How to Choose the Right Length for Your Gym Runner
Simplifying the Selection Process
When selecting the right length for your gym runner, provide the number of chairs per side to the manufacturer.
This information helps streamline the quoting and ordering process, ensuring you get the perfect fit for your needs.
Comparing Vinyl Runners to Carpet Court Runners
Long-Term Benefits of Carpet Court Runners
While vinyl runners might be cost-effective initially, carpet court runners with waterproof backing are a better long-term investment.
Vinyl, initially may seem like the economical choice, but experience has shown that the product does not protect against scratching and gouging to the gym floor.
Today’s newly developed sideline courtside runners were designed just for gym floor protection and maintain their shape and provide a stable surface that reduces the risk of trips and falls.
Additionally, some carpet runners come with antimicrobial protection, preventing mold and mildew formation during storage.
Pros and Cons of Berber Court Runners
Durability vs. Practicality
Berber court runners are durable and aesthetically pleasing but can be extremely heavy, making them difficult to roll up and store.
They are best suited for entrance and accent mats rather than for use during games due to their weight.
Safe Storage Solutions for Basketball Courtside Runners
Maintaining Runner Quality
Proper storage is key to maintaining the quality of your basketball rugs.
Enhance Mats recommends storing the runners on their edges to prevent flat spots and damage.
