Court Flooring Explained
Who says you can only go to the gym or park to play sports? Court flooring is a fun, easy way to stay active anytime. Court flooring is more shock-absorbent than concrete and provides excellent support for the sport of your choice. On these sport tiles and planks, you can dunk, volley, and show off your wicked backswing indoors and outdoors.
Interlocking tiles and planks make installation a snap- literally. With our snap-lock method for sport tiles, you simply drop, snap and lock the court tiles or enjoy court planks that are both nail and glue-free. Whatever flooring you choose you’ll be ready to get your game on with the sport you love!
Court Flooring Construction and Features
Courts are meant to be everywhere, which is why we have both indoor and outdoor tiles constructed with durable material ready to install at your convenience.
But, what makes our selection of court flooring so special? There has to be more than just awesome color to any court. That’s why our selection of sport tiles are constructed of the best high-quality impact resistant polypropylene (extremely durable hard thermoplastic polymer). This ensures colorfastness, durability, and chemical resistance in each and every sports tile. While our selection of court planks can be made of either hardwood or sturdy vinyl, ensuring style, and durability. Court tiles or planks, we got you covered!
Outdoor court tiles are created with a low-maintenance mentality; from installation to the construction of the tile, it’s simple. Some features include:
✅ Vented: Outdoor tiles and planks are constructed to allow water to easily flow through and under the floor. This ensures that your court is slip-resistant and safe when wet.
✅ Fade-resistant: The tiles are also fade-resistant in the bright sun, keeping your colors looking great from day-to-day.
✅ Easy installation: Outdoor court tiles are interlocking, which can be a DIY dream. You only need a few friends and some elbow grease to set up your new court flooring.
✅ Easy clean-up: Best yet, these courts are easy to clean with a hose or leaf blower. Just shake off any debris and you’re good to go!
Indoor court tiles come in several sizes, colors, and patterns to jazz up your gym, or any other indoor space. Features of indoor tiles include:
✅ Solid tiles and planks: Unlike outdoor courts, indoor tiles and planks do not allow water to flow through their surface. To make sure indoor courts are slip-resistant, spills and other.
✅ Easy installation: With a simple drop, pop, and lock the tiles into place, your court is ready to go.
✅ Easy clean-up: Simply vacuum or sweep any loose crumbs, dust, or dirt, then sanitize with a damp mop, mild soap, and water.
Court Flooring Options
Court flooring can be as customizable as you’d like with its different forms. For a specific sized court, we have sports tiles that are bought individually, so you can get the number of tiles necessary for your space. For those times you need the standard sized court for a specific sport, there are pre-made court kits that come with the exact amount of tiles you’ll need for a full or half-sized court, without calculating the right number yourself.
Both constructed of the same material, your court will last no matter where you put it. All you need to know is where your court is going, then you’re ready to decide on court tiles or court kits.
