Laykold. Now playing indoors.
13 benefits Laykold’s new GymSports range will bring to your facility.
Laykold is bringing its world-leading court expertise indoors with Laykold GymSports. The new product range is an indoor, multi-sport surface system, ideal for Olympic venues through to school gymnasiums.
Suitable for most sports and every athlete, these point elastic sports floors can withstand high mechanical impact and indentation due to the durable polyurethane system buildup.
Here are 13 benefits choosing our latest innovation for your indoor facility will bring:
1. 65% renewable and recycled content
Laykold GymSports systems are made up of over 65% renewable or recycled content, which, combined with reduced shipping distances makes them environmentally robust.
2. ISO certified factories deliver unrivalled quality and safety
The polyurethane for Laykold GymSports which is complex to manufacture, is made in ISO-certified factories in Australia, Germany and the USA. This comes with the quality assurance that these countries, with some of the world’s strictest labor, business, safety and quality control standards, bring.
3. Exceptional buy-local value
Avoiding offshore shipping means delivery of goods will be cheaper and faster and buying local boosts the local economy. Polyurethane surfaces generally cost around a third less than a wooden floor, and they also offer much greater versatility.

4. Long lifespan
Superior manufacturing, R&D and quality standards means our systems are long-lasting. For example, the high-performance resins used in our products have been developed by Sport Group with a lower density than the usual resins available in the market due to a lower filler content. This results in outstanding performance and lower consumption rates.
5. Speed of service and choice of color
Because we’re never far away, our products and our huge variety of colors are available quickly.
6. One-Stop-Shop Convenience
Because Laykold is part of Sport Group, the world’s largest business dedicated to sports surfaces, we can provide you with all your sport surfaces from one source. This one-stop-shop takes the complexity out of your facility upgrades.
7. Seamless means less tRIPS
As a seamless flooring system, Laykold GymSports is perfectly smooth. This looks good, and compared to vinyl systems which have welds in them, there is no danger of seams splitting and becoming a trip hazard and no loose fits between the walls and floor.
8. Easy maintenance and repair
GymSports surfaces are extremely low maintenance, hygienic and are designed to remain looking and performing well after years of use. Whilst very durable, any area damaged by sports equipment, tables or chairs can be easily cut out and re-applied with minimal impact to your facility’s accessibility.
9. Unrivalled technical support
Our indoor sports flooring comes with the confidence of local support from the largest sports and recreation surface installation network in the world.
10. Safe to work with
Our single component water-based topcoats are safe and pleasant to work with, unlike their solvent-based alternatives. This cleaner solution ensures no toxins are released into the atmosphere during installation. Because our topcoats do not require any mixing, they are easier to apply.
All component materials are non-hazardous and do not contain any lead, mercury, heavy metals, PCB or formaldehyde.
11. Tailored Force Reduction technology
Laykold GymSports systems have excellent inbuilt force reduction and we are able to adjust a system to match the specific requirements of a facility, for example, a gymnastics facility would require a higher force reduction system than a facility where basketball is the main sport.
12. Excellent consistency
Our point-elastic sports floor reacts in a more localized area, interacting with the individual rather than full team. This gives a uniform performance across the whole surface, so every location has almost identical performance.
13. Certified professional quality
Unlike lower quality systems, Laykold GymSports is certified by FIBA (basketball), IHF (handball) and BWF (badminton) making it approved for professional level sports.
