Common Uses of Our Sports Mats for Sale

We have many practical options for indoor sports court flooring, including a few that can be removed in the future to maintain portability.

Basketball

If creating indoor basketball floors, our modular sports tiles will be a great choice. These have raised plastic bases and can be installed on any flat surface. They snap together easily. We also offer a rubber-backed vinyl flooring that simulates a genuine wood grain court. Paint lines on it if desired.

Tennis

Our TopCourt Tiles provide an optimal playing surface. These can withstand the demands of outdoor use, including the damaging effects of the sun, extreme weather, and temperature changes. These have a raised base to maximize drainage.

Cheerleading

Our cheerleading mats are available with either a carpet or a vinyl top, and they are available in roll-out and fold-up designs. These athletic mats are found in practice and competition sizes. They can be transported and installed by a single person, and they fold up or roll up for convenient storage when not in use.

Gymnastic Workouts

Our huge selection of gymnastic mats means that we'll certainly have the ideal product for the job. Many of our athletic mats can be laid out to use with tumbling, stretching, and landings.

Plyometrics

Athletic mats to be used with plyometric exercises need to be able to support an athlete jumping or making sudden changes of direction. Ours prevent excessive fatigue on an athlete's bones and joints. Additionally, they have outstanding traction.

Dancers

With our wide catalog of dancer floors, finding an option that is workable for permanent and temporary installations is a piece of cake. Additionally, we stock a number of different dance subfloors that bring comfort, safety, and professionalism to any location.

Soccer

For an indoor soccer competition field, our padded turf tiling and gym athletic turf have durability and slip resistance. This synthetic sports turf is manufactured specifically as athletic flooring and is fusion-bonded to a no-slip base. This helps to hold it in place during competitions and practices.

Aerobics and Circuits

Our exercise mats have forgiving surfaces suitable for use as both cardio and aerobic training floor mats. These allow for longer exercise sessions without excessive wear and tear on the body. We have many suitable for high-intensity aerobics and Jazzercise classes. These rubber sports flooring rolls are firm and durable, yet are also forgiving.

Yoga

For professional and home studios, our yoga mats create an ideal consistency that relieves pressure on joints and bones. They work for smaller studios or home use, thanks to the convenient size. For pro studios with large coverage areas, our rolled options create a professional appearance with minimal seam issues.

Cross Fitness

A fitness mat typically is rubberized, making it versatile enough to use for multiple activities. From weight lifting to running or doing pushups, it creates excellent rebound to maximize the effectiveness of the workout. Our low odor materials are popular for indoor use, as athletes can comfortably do pushups or handstands without an overwhelming rubbery smell.

Martial Arts

With a greater density in your martial arts mats, you receive a higher level of resistance for making quick moves. Thicker mats tend to deliver a greater level of cushioning. It’s important for competition sparring mats to include the right padded mat designs, including thickness and size. Consider using different colors of interlocking puzzle mats to designate warm-up and competition areas. Greatmats offers high-quality mats that are ideal for competitions.

Weightlifting

For weight room flooring in a residential setting, rubber matting, rolls, or tiles are the best home gym floors. Pay attention to the maximum amount of weight you will be lifting and select a thickness measurement that matches it for the desired level of subfloor protection and noise reduction.
