FAQ's

Tarkett/Johnsonite resilient pads provide cushioning beneath suspended wood gym, aerobic, and dance floors. They are typically stapled to sleepers or plywood panels before installation, creating separation between the wood subfloor system and the concrete. Follow the flooring system manufacturer’s installation requirements.

Both pads measure 3 inches wide by 2-5/16 inches long and use the same PVC compound. The 3/8-inch pads come 700 per case, while the 5/8-inch pads come 400 per case. Choose the thickness specified for your flooring system, as pad thickness affects the overall floor height.

The manufacturer’s installation instructions specify spacing the pads no more than 12 inches on center. Staple the pads to the sleeper or plank in the specified orientation before positioning the assembly. Follow the complete flooring system’s installation requirements if they call for different or closer spacing.

The manufacturer’s specification calls for a concrete subfloor that is smooth and level within 1/4 inch over a 10-foot radius. Areas outside this tolerance must be corrected using the leveling method specified for the flooring system. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions before installing the sleepers or panels.

Yes. Both thicknesses are available in full-case and half-case quantities. The 3/8-inch pads come 700 per full case or 350 per half case. The 5/8-inch pads come 400 per full case or 200 per half case. Contact Gym Floor Resource with your floor dimensions and pad spacing if you need help estimating quantities.

Johnsonite resilient pads have a Shore A hardness of 66 at initial contact and 59 after 10 seconds, measured according to ASTM D2240. The pads carry a limited one-year manufacturer warranty. Contact Gym Floor Resource for warranty details or help selecting pads for your flooring system.
