We offer a wide range of premium sports flooring solutions for Basketball, Volleyball, Indoor Football, Table Tennis, Multi Use Sports and Dance Studios.  Our hardwood sports flooring and vinyl sports flooring options allow for the highest performance in both game play and durability.

Let's look at the main types of indoor sports flooring we offer:

 

Hardwood Sports Flooring

One of the most traditional and widely recognised choices for sports arena flooring and indoor sports halls is hardwood flooring. Typically made from Beech, Maple or Oak, timber sports floors offer a durable and resilient surface that withstands the rigours of high-impact activities. The smooth, uniform surface of wood flooring provides excellent ball bounce and maneuverability, making an ideal choice for sports like basketball, volleyball, and futsal. Additionally, hardwood floors offer a classic aesthetic appeal that enhances the ambience of the sports hall.

Hardwood flooring used within a sprung floor system is known as an area elastic floor. This refers to the type of undercarriage used which allows impact to be distributed across the entire space.

Specialised batten systems are sometimes used to support heavy loads, such as portable retractable seating, creating access hatches and ensuring structural stability and safety within the sports hall.

Suitable for: Multisport, Basketball courts, Indoor Football, Volleyball, Netball, Badminton, Tennis, Table Tennis, Squash, Hockey, Futsal, Dance, Gym & Fitness

Vinyl Sports Flooring

In recent years, vinyl sports flooring has emerged as a popular alternative to hardwood for indoor sports halls. Vinyl sports flooring offers a versatile, cost-effective solution with excellent shock absorption and slip resistance properties.

Available in various thicknesses and surface textures, vinyl sports flooring can be customised to meet the specific requirements of different sports and activities. The versatile colour option makes it a popular choice for schools who can opt for floors to match their school badge or logo, from black and red to green and light blue.

Additionally, vinyl sports floors are easy to install and maintain, requiring minimal upkeep.

Suitable for: Multi Court Systems, Basketball, Football, Volleyball, Netball, Badminton, Tennis, Squash, Hockey, Dancing, Fitness Flooring

Vinyl Sports Flooring V Wood Sports Flooring

When deciding between vinyl or wood flooring, there is no floor type best suited to a particular sport and it really comes down to personal preference, budget and overall use of the chosen facility. Dance studios typically opt for harder surfaces but softer flooring for certain dance forms and Basketball and other ball sports lean towards wood surfaces.

Modular Sports Courts

Newer to the sports industry, modular sports courts are fast becoming staple products for busy sports clubs and competition facilities.  These interlocking outdoor courts can be set up quickly and easily, be used for temporary and permanent use and have excellent performance capabilities. Available in various surfaces and sizes to suit a wide range of sports, this contemporary court system is the perfect solution for both training professionals and home leisure users. 

Sports Floor Maintenance and Care

Regardless of the type of sports flooring chosen, proper maintenance is essential to ensure longevity and performance.

For hardwood sports floors, regular sweeping and mopping with a mild detergent solution are recommended to remove dirt and debris. Periodic refinishing may be necessary to restore the surface and maintain optimal playing conditions.

Vinyl sports flooring requires similar maintenance practices, including routine cleaning with a neutral pH cleaner to remove dirt and stains. Depending on the level of use, vinyl floors may benefit from occasional buffing or recoating to preserve their appearance and traction properties.

Both sports floor types require preventative measures to be in place to avoid damage, such as chair leg covers and protective matting for heavy weights.

FAQ - Sports Flooring

What is the difference between point elastic sports flooring and area elastic sports flooring?
