Gym Cove Aluminum Vented Cove Base for Gym and Sports Floor Perimeters

The Gym Cove Aluminum Vented Cove Base helps flooring contractors and facility teams install a powder-coated aluminum, vented wall base around gymnasium and basketball court perimeters. Each piece is 4 inches by 3 inches by 8 feet, available in 15 standard colors, with custom colors on request.

It screws to the wall instead of relying on adhesive, so the base can be removed and put back if water gets under the floor. The 8-foot length means fewer seams than a typical 4-foot rubber vent cove. A continuous vent is optional: a spacer holds the base just off the wall. The manufacturer reports 10 times the airflow of standard rubber vent cove base with a 1/8-inch spacer, and 5 times with a 1/16-inch spacer. These are the manufacturer’s figures, not independent test results.

Matching inside and outside corners are sold separately in the same 15 colors. Matching color screw heads, touch-up paint, and caulk are available. Contact us for touch-up paint pricing and availability.

A spacer holds the base just off the wall, which leaves a continuous venting gap around the perimeter.

These are the manufacturer’s figures, not independent test results.

Is there a minimum order for Gym Cove?

Why is ventilation important for a wood gym floor?

Wood gym floors expand and contract as temperature and humidity change. Vented cove base allows air to circulate around the floor perimeter, helping the flooring system respond to changing conditions. Gym Cove provides that perimeter ventilation while covering the expansion gap between the floor and the wall.
