Performance & Use Cases
We supply materials only to B2B clients (distributors, contractors, developers, architects, facility owners). Installation and line marking are carried out by your appointed sports flooring contractor.
Sports vinyl systems are engineered for indoor courts, school halls, multi‑purpose gyms and community arenas. A cushioned construction delivers shock absorption, controlled surface friction, and consistent ball response to support safe play and training.
Typical applications:
-
Education: school and university halls, multi‑purpose rooms.
-
Community & Clubs: training courts, community centres.
-
Fitness & Recreation: studios, indoor activity spaces.
-
Convertible halls: sports by day, events/exams by night.
Key Performance Benefits
-
Player safety: shock absorption reduces peak forces on joints and ligaments; comfortable for repeated sessions.
-
Consistent play: tuned ball bounce and surface friction for predictable movement and grip.
-
Multi‑use durability: surface wear layers resist scuffs and rolling loads from equipment and seating.
-
Easy maintenance: PU surface enables quick cleaning and low OPEX; compatible with neutral detergents.
-
Acoustic comfort: cushioned builds help reduce reverberation in hard‑surfaced halls.
-
Low emissions: low‑VOC options; indoor air certificates on request.
Technical & Compliance
Request complete test reports and Declarations of Performance for the selected system and jurisdiction.

Design, Protection & Line Marking
-
Subfloor & prep: moisture testing and levelling as per standards (by installer).
-
Line marking: use approved paints; set out game lines to governing body dimensions; seal if required by system.
-
Equipment interfaces: reinforce zones for posts, seating, bleachers; use load‑spreading protection boards for events.
-
Transitions: ramp trims at door thresholds; coordinate with Stairs solution for access routes.
-
Maintenance: neutral detergents; avoid abrasive pads; periodic surface refresh if specified in system manual.
Sector Guidance
Schools & Universities
- Prioritize shock absorption class suited to PE and varied abilities; plan storage for portable equipment.
Community Halls
- Choose multi‑purpose surface friction and colours; plan event protection for non‑sport use.
Fitness & Recreation
- Smooth surface for studio work; protect against heavy static equipment with mats/boards.

FAQ
Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions our customers ask when choosing flooring. This section is designed to help you make confident and informed decisions. If you don’t see the information you’re looking for, feel free to contact our support team — we’re always here to help.
Which performance class do we need for a school sports hall?
+
Select a shock absorption class appropriate for multi‑sport education use; we’ll supply test data for shortlisted systems.
Can we host exams and assemblies on the same floor?
+
Yes—sports vinyl is designed for multi‑use. Use protection boards under chair/table feet to prevent point indentations.
How are game lines applied?
+
With approved line paints to the required regulations; sealing and curing times depend on the system—check the guide.
Is the surface too slippery or too grippy?
+
Indoor sports systems target controlled friction; specify a multi‑sport surface unless a single sport demands otherwise.
Do you provide installation?
+
No—materials only. Your appointed sports flooring contractor handles installation and markings.
