Vinyl, linoleum, rubber and composite fl oor sheeting materials and fi bre reinforced polyurethane are
widely available for sports fl oor surfaces. In some instances the sheeting (or tiles) is available with
shock absorption cellular plastic or rubber backing.
It is important to note that when the above fl oor fi nishes are applied directly onto a screeded surfaces
that the surfaces have to be free of any dirt or projecting particles as these will considerable reduce
the life of the fl oor.
The sheet fl ooring systems may also be applied onto a sprung fl oor for additional shock absorption.

The polyurethane sports fl oors are mixed on site and forma continuous playing surface without joints.
The underlay can be a cellular plastic, prefabricated sheet or in situ bonded material.
The application may be either directly onto the above underlay or it may be applied onto sprung fl oors.
Whilst this type of surface is usually considered to be point elastic but synthetic mesh material can be
integrated into the system to improve the elasticity of the material.
The fi nish usually ranges in thickness from 1 – 4 mm and is suitable for use with spiked shoes. The
fi nish is smooth, self levelling and is available in a number of colours.
