Indoor Sports
Overview
Indoor Sports covers certified sports flooring systems that deliver shock absorption, vertical deformation, ball response and controlled friction for school halls, community gyms, training courts and competition venues. Surface families include vinyl, linoleum and sprung wood.
We supply materials only to B2B clients (distributors, contractors, developers, architects, facility owners). Installation and line marking are performed by your appointed sports flooring contractor per system manuals and local code.

Design & Detailing Notes
-
Subfloor moisture & flatness: test and prepare; resilient systems need smooth substrates.
-
Protection strategy: use load‑spreading boards for exams/events to prevent indentation.
-
Line hierarchy: plan colour hierarchy and zone coding for multi‑sport layouts.
-
Transitions: coordinate ramp trims to adjacent corridors (vinyl/linoleum/LVT) and Stairs solution for stands/access.
-
Acoustics: resilient and wood systems influence RT—pair with acoustic wall/ceiling treatments where needed.
