01
5 mm
Fitness & multipurpose
Cardio zones, weight rooms, community halls, shop floors. The thinnest sports build we run — still welded, still shock-absorbing.
Range 02
Point-elastic vinyl for basketball courts, school halls, fitness studios and community centres. Welded seams, 1.2 mm wear layer, built to take a landing.
01 — What it is
A sports floor is not just thicker vinyl. Under the wear layer sits a foamed backing that compresses when a player lands and returns energy when they push off. Too soft and the ball dies; too hard and the knees pay for it.
Our sheet is built in four thicknesses — 5, 6, 8 and 10 mm — with a 1.2 mm transparent wear layer and a reinforced glass-fibre core so the roll stays flat and the court lines stay straight.
For projects specifying to EN 14904, send the standard and the discipline (basketball, badminton, handball, fitness) and we will match the construction and return the test data.
02 — Four builds
A fitness floor and a competition court are not the same purchase. Use this as a starting point, then check the technical sheet.
01
Fitness & multipurpose
Cardio zones, weight rooms, community halls, shop floors. The thinnest sports build we run — still welded, still shock-absorbing.
02
Basketball & badminton
The usual pick for club courts and school gyms: enough cushion for landings, enough rebound for a true bounce.
03
Training & school halls
Deeper foam backing for plyometric work, PE lessons and multi-use halls where the floor takes a beating.
04
Competition & heavy impact
Our densest build. Competition courts, gymnastics areas and facilities running twelve hours a day.
03 — Technical data
Typical values for each construction. The technical data sheet for the build you order states the exact figures, and is sent with the quotation.
| Property | 5 mm | 6 mm | 8 mm | 10 mm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total thickness | 5.0 mm | 6.0 mm | 8.0 mm | 10.0 mm |
| Wear layer | 1.2 mm | 1.2 mm | 1.2 mm | 1.2 mm |
| Weight (approx.) | 4.5 kg/m² | 5.4 kg/m² | 7.2 kg/m² | 9.0 kg/m² |
| Roll size | 1.8 m × 20 m | 1.8 m × 20 m | 1.8 m × 15 m | 1.8 m × 15 m |
| Shock absorption | ≈ 25 % | ≈ 30 % | ≈ 38 % | ≈ 45 % |
| Ball rebound | ≥ 90 % | ≥ 92 % | ≥ 93 % | ≥ 95 % |
| Slip resistance | 0.4–0.6 | 0.4–0.6 | 0.4–0.6 | 0.4–0.6 |
| Fire behaviour | B1 / class available on request with test report | |||
Roll width 1.8 m as standard for sports sheet, 2 m on request. Thickness tolerance ±0.2 mm. Values above are typical for the construction and are confirmed per order.
04 — Where it goes
6 mm and up. Rebound and grip where pivoting matters.
8 mm multi-use. Chairs in, chairs out, PE in between.
5–8 mm under racks, with the wear layer taking the drop.
6 mm courts, welded and line-marked to your layout.
Commercial is not only sport. Corridors, wards, classrooms and offices take the same 2 m sheet in a terrazzo print — see the contract range below.
05 — Contract interiors
Not every commercial floor is a court. Wards, corridors, classrooms and open offices need a floor that is welded shut, coved up the wall and wiped clean at shift change — with a colour card that still looks calm after five years.
Healthcare & education
Two-metre sheet, cut to the corridor, welded at the seam and coved 100 mm up the wall — so a spill has nowhere to run and a trolley wheel has nothing to catch.
Welded seams. Grooved, welded and trimmed flush on site. Water and disinfectant stay on top of the floor.
Coved skirting. The sheet turns up the wall instead of stopping at a skirting board.
Terrazzo, not gloss. Speckled prints hide scuffs and trolley marks better than a plain colour.

These six are the decors we run most for healthcare and education. Other colours and prints from the 2 m range can be welded the same way — ask for the swatch set.
06 — Sports colours
Sports sheet is ordered in solid colour, not print. Below are the shades we run; line marking is done on site after welding.
Wood for multi-use
Multi-purpose halls and school gyms often want a timber look with a sports build underneath. Any of our wood decors can be run on the sports construction — the surface is printed, the backing stays the same.

07 — Installation
Sports sheet is glued down over a moisture-tested subfloor, seams are grooved and hot-air welded, then trimmed flush. A welded floor is one continuous surface — no water under the edge, no lifted corner at year three.
Every project gets the same pack, whether it is one studio or a school tender.
Technical data sheet for the exact construction — thickness, weight, wear layer, shock absorption, rebound, slip resistance.
Laying drawings showing roll direction, seam positions and how the court lines fall against the roll width.
Adhesive and welding rod matched to the backing, supplied with the order so the installer is not guessing.
Test reports and certificates you can drop into a tender document — ask and we will send the current set.
08 — Next step
Give us the hall dimensions, the sport and the thickness you have in mind. We will come back with the quantity, the seam layout and a quotation.
