SAMFORD’S HISTORIC SEIBERT HALL GOES PLATINUM TO PROTECT NEW GYM FLOOR

Homewood, AL - More Non-Athletic Action Means the Best in COVERMASTER® Gym Floor Carpet Tile Protection.

Over the years, Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama has been going to COVERMASTER® to provide world class gym floor protection of its athletic facilities. Prior to the opening of its new $85 million recreation, wellness, and athletic complex in 2024, Samford’s project architect approached COVERMASTER® about a gym floor protection system in Seibert Hall. Originally built in 1961, Seibert Hall was incorporated into the new complex and updated with a new gymnasium floor.

While the university’s Bulldogs basketball team would continue to play in the Pete Hanna Center, intramural and student recreational sports was the athletic focus of Seibert Hall’s new gym floor. In addition, the gymnasium would also host multi-purpose, non-athletic events and activities. To ensure the new gym floor was protected from possible scratches, spills, and dents. COVERMASTER® recommended PLATINUM COVERTILE™ GYM CARPET TILES as the solution.

Featuring a heavy-duty, Polypropylene yarn surface and a Polyolefin Plus backing, these gym floor carpet tiles are specifically designed to provide protection for the gym floor against all shocks, stains, and damages from street shoes, furniture, staging, and spilled food and liquids. Samson University ordered 670 PLATINUM COVERTILE™ GYM CARPET TILES and 10 PLATINUM COVERTILE™ STORAGE CARTS. Now, they have COVERMASTER® portable gym floor carpet tiles that will protect their gym floor for years to come.
