Gym Wall Pads

Gym Wall Pads protect people from becoming injured during higher intensity activities by providing impact protection and reducing impact energy to lessen injuries.  However, these protective wall pads also protect the walls and building infrastructure by covering walls, reducing maintenance and repairs, guarding electrical and other equipment and preserving aesthetics.  

While we can't offer legal advice, Gym Wall Pads can help reduce liability exposure and lower insurance premiums while also meeting (and exceeding) safety standards for code compliance and, in doing so, reduce severity of injuries that may lead to litigation.

The presence of Gym Wall Pads allows athletes to play more confidently by allowing players to focus on sport without fear of wall injuries, allowing for more aggressive play, which fosters skill development and expedites game flow by reducing injury stoppages.

Although not an exhaustive list, the following sports typically benefit the most from the presence of protective wall padding: basketball (esp. near walls, baseline), volleyball (esp. when diving near walls, moving backwards for sets), wrestling (esp. when near walls, protects during takedowns, scrambles and throws), soccer (esp. around goals and sliding impacts), gymnastics/cheerleading (esp. during tumbling runs, spotting near walls and dismounts) and general, multi-purpose use (esp. around transitions, PE classes and unaware individuals).

Gym Wall Pads are designed for heavy-use sports environments to help protect athletes for injuries sustain from impacts with the wall.  These wall pads are engineered for the most demanding locations and meet and/or exceed government and industry safety standards.  All wall pads have a thick foam core to absorb and disperse energy with an anti-microbial, tear-resistant vinyl cover for easy cleaning and durability.  These pads are include a sturdy, solid backing and appropriate features for easy mounting and maintenance.  All wall pads have rounded corners/edges, no exposed fasteners or hardware, catch-free seams and long-lasting construction.

Gym Wall Pads have acoustical and aesthetic benefits in addition to the more obvious injury-reduction features.  These wall pads can provide sound dampening and reduce echos and overall noise levels which helps coach-athlete communication, athletic performance and spectator enjoyment.  Also, the protective padding can help enhance the space with clean surfaces, school colors, logos/branding and offer an overall professional, finished look.

Gym Wall Pads are relatively low maintenance and typically require as needed cleaning.  As these pads last between 15-25 years on average, they are designed for durability and longevity.  To clean, simply wipe down with a damp cloth or mild detergent as needed - harsh chemicals are not recommended.  The vinyl surface is moisture-, mold- and bacterial-resistant.

These gym wall pads meet ASTM F2440 standards for wall padding.  They also satisfy NFHS (National Federation of State High School Associations) requirements and comply with NCAA specifications while addressing ADA accessibility considerations.  If more detailed information is needed, please contact us directly for any documentation requirements.  Also, these pads meet Class A fire rating and NFPA 701 flame resistance standards.
