Classification of Sports Flooring:
The degree of elasticity in a sports floor's surface is a defining characteristic. Sports flooring are sub-divided into these three categories:
- Area elastic: Wood sports flooring is an excellent example of this kind of flooring. Its surface area is quite large, and comfortably meets the gruelling demands of athletes.
- Point Elastic: Linoleum, rubber, polyurethane, and vinyl flooring are classified as "point elastic" under this system. The stress absorption, vertical deformation, and ball rebound are all the same at all positions.
- Combination elastic: It combines point elastic and area elastic layers to handle both local and wide-scale impacts.
Types of Sports Floorings & their Uses:
Sports arenas have unique requirements. Depending on your needs, you may select from a variety of sports flooring options:
• Timber :
Timber sports flooring uses solid timber flooring or engineered hardwood floor, with two layers of plywood, making them suitable surfaces for demanding and gruelling athletic performances.
• Vinyl :
This flooring is ideal for the sports complex that is used for other purposes, such as hosting events and conferences. Shock absorption is a key component of sports vinyl flooring. Multipurpose gymnasiums, volleyball and basketball complexes, and other areas may benefit from sports vinyl flooring.
• Polyurethane Pad and Pour :
Polyurethane flooring that can withstand the weight of heavy machinery may be achieved by using Pad and pouring polyurethane. Rolling and high point loads can survive it, making it a solid and lasting flooring option.

Easy-to-install flooring rolls have Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) chips, making it a perfect choice for gyms, weight rooms, and other similar facilities.

Abrasion resilience and minimal maintenance costs are the primary features of this sort of flooring. Sports linoleum flooring is ideal for low-volume recreational activities, and is ideal for primary school gymnasiums or kindergartens.
• Vulcanized Rubber :
Recycled underlay provides a high energy return with virgin rubber on top. Vulcanized rubber flooring should be used in weight rooms and other locations subject to high rolling or static stresses.
