The problem
How do you update a home gym within a larger basement project?
This Berlin basement project is being completed in stages. The gym was the first finished area, with Advanced Edge rubber flooring in Summertime Blues selected to replace its existing carpet.
The gym installation was completed in October 2026. Carpet in the other basement areas and on the stairs is a separate future phase, and the workshop is deferred. This case study documents the rubber gym floor only.
Project overview
The goal, materials, and finished scope.
In October 2026, Floors Now completed the rubber flooring installation in a Berlin basement home gym using Advanced Edge in Summertime Blues. The scope lists 200 square feet of flooring and installation, removal and disposal of 178 square feet of glue-down carpet, and skim coating across 178 square feet with two bags of Planiprep SC listed. Ten linear feet of vinyl transition completed the gym scope. The supplied installation photograph shows the new rubber floor with temporary blue tape and weights still in place. The remaining basement carpet, stair carpet, and workshop are separate from this completed gym installation.
