Bio-Channel® Classic Gym Floor System

Bio-Channel Classic is the proven choice for performance basketball facilities. The Bio-Channel installation list is a who’s who of top NCAA and NBA performance basketball courts and training centers. Programs such as Indiana, Kentucky, Duke, the Wizards and Lakers have relied on Bio-Channel for years to provide a solid performing gym floor. Bio-Channel is a proven choice for large school arena environments where the floor must meet the performance demands of players as well as withstand temporary loading from stages or scissor lifts. Bio-Channel is also a great choice for renovation projects with concrete planarity problems. Regardless of the situation, Bio-Channel will meet the needs of any sports flooring project with stringent requirements for performance and durability. Robbins also offers a theatrical version of Bio-Channel Classic designed for performing arts centers.

Bio-Channel Classic combines the structural and dimensional stability of anchored flooring systems with the safety and comfort of resilient sports flooring. A plywood sleeper floats on 7/16″ Bio-Pads within a steel channel that’s anchored to the concrete floor. A uniform playing surface with no dead spots is assured, as is the right amount of deflection and shock absorption.
