VERSATILITY. FLEXIBILITY. RELIABILITY.
The sports flooring industry’s first truly bio-mechanically designed and tested suspended maple flooring system, Bio-Cushion Classic has become one of the most popular resilient systems available. The Bio-Cushion system is bio-mechanically engineered for enhanced comfort and performance levels for athletes of all levels. Playing characteristics can be “tuned” depending on usage requirements to maximize resiliency and reduce the
negative effects of the floor on the athlete.

FLOOR SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY
Continuous Subfloor
Continuous Subfloor technology creates a consistent and uniform playing surface that is ideal for facilities that have heavy equipment or loads that could impact the floor. A Continuous Subfloor minimizes the risk of damage to the floor surface and subfloor under exposure to excessive weight.
Floating System
Robbins Floating gym floor systems are not mechanically fastened to the substrate below. Floating systems are an economical solution that is also easier and faster to install. The shock absorption and resiliency of a floating floor can be tuned for end user comfort using a variety of system types and pad options.
Low Profile
Robbins Low Profile systems are designed for facilities that do not have a slab depression in their current athletic space. Low profile systems are shorter in height and easier to ramp for transitioning to other areas. Perfect for retrofit installations as well.
Self Blocking
The built in Self Blocking feature limits floor deflection and is designed to “bottom out” under heavy loads. When heavy equipment like scissor lifts are driven over a sports floor, the floor can only deflect or bend so much before damage occurs. Self Blocking is built into the floor at the factory level to ensure proper subfloor construction that lowers the risk of damage from heavy equipment.
FIRST GRADE
SECOND GRADE
THIRD GRADE
Highest grade is the clearest, most uniform in appearance and is practically free of all defects. Slight shadows and color variations may occur with the use of some finishes.
The most common grade has more variation in color than 1st grade. Clear or white boards can be mixed with amber ones. Slight streaks and knots are admitted, but not on the ends or edges of the strips.
This grade presents a greater variation in color and contrast, accentuates the wood grain and enhances design options, including the Boston Square® option.
