1050D Ballistic Nylon
After testing various materials for the Habit Flooring system we selected a custom coated 1050D ballistic nylon to deliver a waterproof and stainproof system for our customers. Our ballistic product is uniquely constructed and domestically sourced. It features a top coating of DWR and is heavily coated for fabric backing. Unlike widely used vinyl materials our fabric is highly resistant to tears, abrasion, punctures, and traps chalk to keep your facility MUCH cleaner from your walls to the front desk.
Nothing else comes close to the durability & cleanability of this high performance material. ASTM testing results show 1050D at almost double the strength when compared with an 18oz vinyl.

The envelope is our most durable and versatile padding system. By fully enclosing both the top and bottom of the foam in our bomb-proof ballistics nylon material, we’re able to create a highly water-resistant, encapsulated system with easy adjustability. The envelope system is comprised of large individual sections, up to 1,000 sqft each, that tie in together with burly hook and loop strips. The sections can be removed easily for events (freeing up floorspace), repairs/replacement and adjustment. The system still provides a single-plane landing surface, and the foam within each shell is fully laminated, forming a single, continuous piece.

Our tarp system combines durability, affordability and a fully laminated foam layer for a truly seamless landing surface. There are no gaps between any of the foam pieces, providing a continuous landing surface. This is achieved by laying down and laminating the entire foam layer, then encasing the top and sides in a ballistic nylon tarp. While this system is not fully encased as our envelope system is, the foam is well protected and secured on all sides. We have developed our own proprietary method for securing the foam while still allowing for easy adjustability as the shell material stretches (thus eliminating unsightly wrinkles in the pad surface). This system still allows for easy repairs/replacements if needed.

High Density Matrix Awesomeness
Our systems only feature the highest quality HR foams available. Habit Flooring is known for having much more durability than other systems on the market, and the foams play a role in that. As a result, we only use select foams that meet stringent requirements from our R&D team, and they are exclusively sourced from North American manufacturers to ensure exactly that. Each system is custom designed to best suit the specific application of your facility for wall height and fall zone coverage, be it in a multi-layer or single layer system,. Our systems are mainly designed to feature our signature solid block construction but custom layering is also an option.
Other systems make a compromise between thickness and firmness. Our foam proves to be the perfect balance.

Quadruple Stitched and Hidden for years of action
With over a decade of experience in crash pad and sewn manufacturing experience, we have taken these construction techniques and have modified them to create new high-strength welded seams to ensure our systems are the strongest on the market today. We do this by utilizing redundant stitching features that are well-hidden from exterior elements like chalk and climbing shoes. This is yet just another way we push durability to the maximum on our Habit products. Our R&D team is continuously working on new designs, testing new materials and construction techniques to ensure Habit is at the forefront of impact system design.
WE’VE DESIGNED A SEAM SYSTEM THAT SETS THE STANDARD FOR ABRASION RESISTANCE AND AESTHETICS

Your brand deserves the right colors
One of Habit Flooring fabrics' best features is the ability to truly customize colors to your application. We have a number of standard base colors available, such as cardinal red, charcoal, black and royal blue, but we have many dozens of others to choose from to customize your application and highlight the vertical sides. With this many options available, there is no reason for you to NOT match your flooring system to your brand identity. The final product is something that shows you went the extra mile for your facility.
This material can look as good as it performs, and we offer the most choices for customization.
After contacting us, a member of our team will reach out to go over the flooring system and provide custom options that will be best suited to your application. If a sketch or design is not available, one of our designers can travel to your location to take a precise 3D scan of your entire facility. Using this technology allows us not only to design an accurate model for approval but also to ensure one of the most accurate fitting systems available.
Once the 3D model is made and the final pad design is approved, it's sent into production at our Salt Lake City, Utah sewing facility, which has over a decade of manufacturing experience. Producing our products in-house allows us to maintain a high level of quality and offer a truly custom made product.
Now that your system is produced, it will be shipped and assembled on-site with the help of our skilled installation team. Specialty cutting and gluing equipment is used to get a perfect fit with your new Habit Flooring system.
Our gym has very specific constraints and requirements for flooring. The tight areas created by our bouldering walls and mezzanine railing create unusual shapes and sizes of pads, and they all see a TON of foot traffic. Vertical Solutions came in, quickly came up with a design and drawings, and delivered a system on-time and on-budget. I couldn’t have asked for a more simple process.
