Rolls
are lightweight, easy to transport and easy to roll into position. Flat
on the floor or rolled for transport, each roll is easily moved by two
people. An entire 42' x 42' surface is positioned in just a few minutes.
Set-up is safe, quick and easy. The Carpet
The needle punch carpet provides unprecedented durability and non-slip traction. This 26 oz. material is the strongest carpet used anywhere in the gymnastics industry, yet it is soft, with the touch of velour. The polyolifin fibers (pile, nap) of the carpet are not stringy and cannot be pulled out by velcro, a problem common to cheaper, lighter weight carpets.
The Foam
Rollable Floors are manufactured with Trocellen closed cell, cross-linked polyethylene foam. It's a sport foam renowned for its shock absorption, resiliency and fast response. It's proven to substantially outlast non cross-linked foam as its cell structure will not break down under repeated bending or compression.
Other polyethylene foams may look and feel like Trocellen, but without its unique chemical composition, they are unable to provide the shock absorption and resiliency that Trocellen offers.
The Bond
The bond between the carpet and foam is critical. Of late, the floors are not glued, which is traditionally an unsatisfactory method of bonding. During manufacturing, the foam liquefies. In the cooling process, the carpet and foam substrates actually become one piece, creating a permanent, virtually indestructible bond.
