Locker room flooring is a special category all by themselves. It doesn’t matter if they’re located in the community’s high school, or at your local muscle-head gym, locker room floors have the athletic equipment and duffle bags dragged across them on a daily basis.
Stinky tennis shoes and wet bare feet just out of the shower walk on these floors constantly. Also, they are exposed to the perspiration dripping from hot and sweaty athletes and the fungus that causes athlete’s foot. Just reading about locker room flooring can make you want to go out and purchase water shoes.

So, let’s deal with the hygienic needs first. For a locker room to function properly, it is essential that locker room flooring be easy-to-clean. Xtreme’s Hybrid XT floor coatings are ideal in a locker room situation for just this reason. The resinous floor coating installation is seamless, and with our cove system, the easy-to-clean surface can even be taken up the wall leaving nowhere for nasty germs and fungus to hide. Daily mopping with a disinfectant solution will kill bacterias and fungus and keep the floors looking good.
Next, let’s talk about the gym bags and stinky tennis shoes. To be honest, there’s nothing we can do about odiferous footwear. It’s just one of those things in a locker room. However, when the offensive shoes, sweaty clothes, and stinky gym bags depart, you’ll be happy to note that because the Hybrid XT flooring is non-absorbent, the smell leaves with them. And since the XT in our Hybrid XT floor coatings stands for Xtra Tough, you can be sure it can take a beating!
Finally, there is the concern about safety with wet locker room floors. The finish on the Hybrid XT full vinyl chip floor coating we recommend for locker room flooring is slip-resistant for just this reason. In the shower areas and around pool decks, we recommend our double broadcast quartz finish for added texture.
On top of all that, our Hybrid XT floor coatings can be customized with school or gym brand colors, and they will look good for years to come. Easy to clean, non-absorbent, slip-resistant floors – the ideal solution for locker room flooring.
