FAQs
What is a gym floor screen and coat, and when is it useful? A screen and coat renews the protective finish on a hardwood gym floor between major refinishing projects. The existing finish is lightly abraded to prepare it for a fresh coat, improving the floor’s appearance and restoring protection against everyday wear. Because the process works on the finish rather than sanding the floor back to bare wood, it is suited to routine maintenance when deeper surface or board repairs are not needed.
How can routine maintenance extend the usefulness of a hardwood gym floor? Regular cleaning, condition checks, and timely renewal of the finish help protect a hardwood gym floor from everyday athletic wear. A screen and coat can refresh the protective layer between major sanding and refinishing projects when the existing floor is suitable. Deeper scratches, damaged boards, or moisture-related problems require a different response. Keystone evaluates the floor’s condition so routine maintenance supports the surface without overlooking repairs that need more attention.
