Project context<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Acad\u00e9mie Lafontaine in Saint-Jerome sought to modernize the flooring of its double gymnasium to replace an aging surface and support long-term athletic activities. The institution required a durable solution capable of handling intensive school use while accommodating extracurricular and community programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project covered approximately 13,340 square feet, representing a central space for physical education classes, school events, and sports programming outside regular hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge and objectives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Advantage Sport was tasked with delivering a high-performance renovation solution that could be installed over the existing floor while ensuring durability and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primary objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Replace an outdated and inadequate sports surface<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Provide a durable solution for intensive use<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Maintain a safe and comfortable playing surface for students<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Allow extended gym usage beyond school hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Complete the project in time for the start of the school year
    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The challenge was to modernize the gymnasium without full reconstruction while maintaining high sports performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Technical solution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Advantage Sport installed an Omnisports 7.1 system in Golden Maple and Royal Blue across approximately 13,340 square feet, using a full-glue installation directly over the existing floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This approach improved system stability and extended the lifespan of the surface while minimizing structural work. Omnisports 7.1 provides a balanced combination of comfort, shock absorption, and wear resistance suited to multifunctional school gymnasiums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The color combination modernized the gymnasium\u2019s appearance while improving the visibility of playing areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Results and benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The project transformed the double gymnasium into a modern and versatile athletic space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The benefits include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
