Lincoln University Solves Urgent Need for Protective Carpet Tiles

Jefferson City, MO - COVERMASTER® delivers PLATINUM COVERTILE™ gym floor protection in record time.

Founded in 1866 by African-American veterans of the American Civil War, Lincoln University is a public, historically black, land-grant university located in Jefferson City, Missouri. It offers a wide variety of academic programs from Agriculture, Environmental and Human Sciences to Arts and Sciences, Professional Studies in business, education and nursing, and Graduate & Extended Studies. Their Blue Tigers athletic teams compete in NCAA Division II in the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC).

In the late fall of 2025, Lincoln University celebrated their 100th Homecoming with events, concerts, shows, and a Masked Ball in their Jason Gymnasium. With all these non-athletic events, they turned to COVERMASTER® for gym floor carpet tiles. They ordered 550 PLATINUM COVERTILE™ Gym Carpet Tiles in Charcoal. Landyn Smith stated that “the decision was made because of you, your fast responses, and quick turnaround time.”

PLATINUM COVERTILE™ Gym Carpet Tiles not only protect a gym floor from damage during non-athletic events, but they also improve the acoustics and aesthetics of an event. Featuring a heavy-duty, 100% Polypropylene yarn surface and a non-marking Polyolefin Plus backing, PLATINUM COVERTILE™ Gym Carpet Tiles provide a highly stain resistant surface that protects a gym floor from shocks, stains and damage caused by shoes, furniture, spilled food, and liquids. Lincoln University had their COVERMASTER® gym carpet tiles in the nick of time!
