DIY Indoor and Outdoor Basketball Court Tiles

Feeling ready to fully embrace your inner LeBron James and Stephen Curry with a new basketball court? Despite your best efforts to play like them, chances are you're not making their salaries quite yet. Luckily, you don't have to have the money of a pro NBA player to feel like one. Greatmats offers a variety of sports floor court tiles that look and feel as serious as you play - without installation stress or financial strain.

Creating a basketball court out of Greatmats' sports gym court tiles is an easy DIY project, which lets you save on steep installation prices. Further, you don't have to fret about putting money into a project you might eventually have to leave behind by moving. You can simply take your basketball court with you wherever you go.

Once you've decided on athletic court tiles, you'll have to figure out which one will work best for your budget, environment and location. Here, you'll learn about the top indoor basketball flooring and outdoor basketball court tiles available.

Indoor Basketball Flooring

Whether it's for a community center, church, athletic facility or your own home, Greatmats has the way to create your ideal indoor basketball court. Greatmats offers a few different low-maintenance, high-quality indoor basketball flooring options.

Modular Sport Floor Court Tiles - Do-It-Yourself

The first is modular indoor court tiles. One of the best all-around options is VersaCourt Pro Wood Grain Court Tile. The base of the tile is made of polypropylene, while the top surface is maple-look commercial-grade vinyl.

The polypropylene base features a unique, 6-point connector system. All you have to do for installation is place the tiles on a hard surface, align the tiles' nubs with other tiles' loops and step on the top tile with your foot. With a few more steps, you'll have an entire basketball court in no time. The durability of polypropylene ensures the connectors will not degrade, even after repeated removals and installations.

If the vinyl surface is not for you, Greatmats also offers VersaCourt Compete Indoor Court Tile made of durable polypropylene. These snap-together tiles are a fun alternative to the classic wood style with a wide selection of brightly-colored tiles.

You can choose from options including bright red, emerald green, black, purple, orange, yellow, and more. Mix and match to create a basketball court that matches your style or favorite basketball team.

We recommend underlying the sport floor court tiles with rubber underlayment for added cushion, quiet and comfort.

Athletic Vinyl Padded Indoor Basketball Flooring

Another excellent indoor basketball flooring option is Greatmats' athletic vinyl padded flooring roll. The wood-grain design roll features a 2mm vinyl top layer fusion bonded to a 5 mm rubber base. There is also a high-performance urethane wear layer. The result is an attractive, high-quality wood-alternative flooring. Vinyl padded basketball flooring yields the classic wood style, but is a more economical option.

Don't mistake the practical cost for lesser quality. This basketball flooring is still an extremely durable and long-lasting option. Greatmats' vinyl basketball court provides sound and shock absorption, which lessens the risks of floor impact and sound escape. Other benefits include fade resistance, low-maintenance and simple clean-ability: no polish or wax is required. Rolls are available in 4 different wood colors, and come in a standard 6x30 ft size.

Outdoor Basketball Court Tiles

When choosing basketball flooring for an outside court, it's important that your investment is long-lasting. That means it's necessary to use materials that will maintain their quality even when exposed to extreme weather conditions. Greatmats outdoor basketball court tiles are guaranteed to withstand the negative effects of weather while maintaining player-friendliness.

Greatmats' outdoor basketball court tiles are made from a polypropylene copolymer. Further, the outdoor basketball court tiles prevent standing water with an innovative flow-through design. Water will quickly dissipate, so you don't have to worry about the negative effects of moisture build-up. Tiles are also mildew and mold resistant. You won't have to worry about temperature either, since Greatmats' game court tiles are created with thermal expansion control.

Greatmats guarantees both quality and appearance. Greatmats' outdoor basketball court tiles are fully color saturated, so they will not fade over time. Plus, there are 16+ colors to choose from, so you can design your court in any way you wish.

Just like the indoor basketball flooring tiles, installing outdoor basketball court tiles is a money-saving do-it-yourself project. Installation is easy and does not have to be permanent.

Alternative Base for Basketball Courts

If you are looking for an alternative to a concrete or asphalt base, consider the Outdoor Court Foundation Panel. This underlayment offers drainage and resists cracking. It is more shock absorbent than concrete.

Regardless of location, going with Greatmats for a basketball court will feel like a slam dunk. If you still feel unsure about what kind of flooring is best for you, Greatmats offers unbeatable warranties and customer service to help you navigate your options and ensure you get the best DIY Basketball Flooring.
