Scope Of Work
Hinkletown Mennonite School is a private school in Ephrata, PA that serves over 240 students. The school was founded in 1981 and has grown and changed a lot since then. One constant has been their gym floor, which was 34 years old by the summer of 2019. Hinkletown had been wanting to replace the flooring in their gymnasium for several years. In 2019, they were finally ready to begin their new gym floor installation.
Hinkletown chose Abacus Sports, not only to install their new Pulastic sports floor, but to remove their old tile floor as well. This process included not only the removal of the tiles, but the complete modification of the subfloor.
Abacus first demolished the previous floor. We then placed a barrier that protects against moisture damage from below the gym floor to ensure a long-lasting finished product that requires little-to-no repairs in the future. Abacus then finished subfloor preparation with a self-leveling cementitious underlay. This underlayment created an even surface to install the floor on.
