Indoor Sports Floor Types
When selecting the best sports flooring, you’ll have options that include rolls and interlocking tiles.
Indoor Court Tiles
Indoor court tiles offer a simple DIY installation at home or in a commercial facility. They often have a hidden interlocking edge that delivers a clean-looking installation. The material provides a true ball response for your sports practices and games. Multiple colors are available, as well as wood-look maple finishes. Our modular tiles are portable. They use a plastic base with a hidden interlocking edge to allow for repeated connections that don’t affect the integrity of the main flooring material.
Indoor Court Rolls
Vinyl rolls are a popular choice for an indoor sports floor at a sports hall or fieldhouse where you need to cover a large area at a reasonable price. Some of the rolls include an attached padding layer underneath that makes the space more comfortable to use. These surfaces require minimal maintenance after the installation. Some rolls require professional installation, while others have a DIY installation option available.

Indoor Court Flooring Q&A
What are sports floor court tiles?

Where can you use indoor sport flooring tiles?
You can
use indoor sport flooring tiles in virtually any way your imagination allows. Create a full-size basketball or volleyball court in an athletic facility, turn a bedroom into a workout space, or anything in between with these versatile tiles.
How thick should wall padding be for sports?
The ideal
thickness of wall padding depends on the areas where you will use it. In an indoor gym where the padding may be protecting athletes from crashing into a concrete block wall, a 2-inch pad is common.
