Custom Indoor Padding

Tired of insufficient floor padding? Our custom floor pads are a perfect solution for not only climbing and bouldering walls, but many other uses as well. Pads can be any shape, size, thickness, and color. The pictures below show how our full wall padding system can be designed to match the specifics of your facility.

Matching wall contours helps eliminate gaps that could cause injury.

Matching the outcroppings and overhangs of the wall to completely cover fall zones.

While these systems are often more costly than other alternatives, there are many advantages that are not achieved by other means. Besides custom design, this system is constructed with high quality materials, they allow for an even and consistent surface, they are easy cleaned, and easily moved if necessary.

Construction
The thickness and shape of the padding can be designed according to your needs. For top-roped climbing walls, where feet first falls are most common, the pad thickness can range from 4.75" thick and up, 6" thick being the standard. The top 1.5" of the pad consists of an extremely durable closed cell foam. This special layer not only creates a better walking surface, but most importantly aids in the distribution of fall force. The remainder of the pad consists of a shock absorbing open cell foam. Large pad systems are designed in sections that attach to each other with high strength 4" wide velco flaps. These flaps hold all the pads tightly together and will not separate even when landed upon directly. Each pad section will have carry handles on the ends. The pads are covered with a heavyweight vinyl that will hold up to constant use. Many vinyl colors are available to match your needs.

Surface
As mentioned above, the top layer of foam is a dense closed cell foam. This creates a more firm walking surface, eliminating the 'walking on a waterbed' feeling you can get with other padding. Typically a person creates a crater when they fall into loose rubber or shredded foam. Unless this low or dead spot is immediately filled back in, it creates a potentially dangerous situation should somebody else fall in the same place. Our solid floor padding systems eliminates the possibility of dead space, creating a safer floor system requiring maintenance.

Cleaning
Unlike shredded rubber or foam, this flooring system is easy to clean. By using a mild detergent you can easily mop chalk, dirt, and fluids - even body fluids. This will help ensure your climbing area stays clean and safe.

Portability
Shredded materials and poured in place foam all are (or are nearly) a permanent installation. This becomes a problem if your area serves multiple purposes. While designed to stay in place, our system is sectional and can be moved if needed. Each section of the flooring will have carry handles and can be moved by two people. This is perfect for cleaning or the occasional need to clear the floor for other uses.
