Rubber flooring for sports halls

Why is it necessary to use rubber flooring in sports halls?

Sports halls are areas of intensive use, where jumping, running, weight training and other activities take place on a daily basis. Without suitable flooring, there is a risk of damage to the floor and an increased likelihood of injury. Rubber flooring creates an elastic, non-slip surface that absorbs shocks, protects athletes, and helps prevent accidents caused by unexpected slips or falls.

Shock absorption and noise reduction – how does this affect the sports environment?

One of the main advantages of rubber flooring for sports halls is effective shock absorption. This is particularly important when jumping, throwing training equipment or heavy objects. In addition, rubber acts as a sound insulator – it dampens echoes and noise, which improves the overall acoustics of the room and makes exercising more comfortable and safer. Rubber flooring is suitable for both individual training areas and group spaces where a comfortable floor base is required.

Choosing the thickness of rubber flooring according to the sport

When choosing a flooring, it is important to consider the planned sports activities. For light training, such as yoga or Pilates, a 6–8 mm thick flooring is sufficient. For more intensive training with free weights or functional systems, a 10–15 mm flooring is recommended. For sports fields where heavy equipment is used or contact sports are played, it is worth choosing even thicker surfaces of 20 mm or more. Thickness is directly related to resistance and durability, so it is necessary to assess the purpose of the surface before choosing a product.

Installation and maintenance of sports hall flooring

Properly installed and maintained rubber flooring ensures not only comfort, but also a long-lasting and stable sports space. Before installing the flooring, it is necessary to ensure that the base is level and properly prepared, and there are several different methods to choose from for the installation process itself.

Which installation methods are best suited for areas subject to heavy use?

In sports halls, where floors are constantly exposed to heavy loads, it is recommended to install the flooring using polyurethane or contact adhesives. This ensures stable adhesion and prevents the flooring from moving even during the most intense workouts. In some cases, especially when using rubber tiles with locks, the flooring can be installed without adhesives, and the connection system will ensure a secure bond. It is also worth planning for expansion gaps in the flooring if the room is subject to significant temperature fluctuations.

How to maintain rubber flooring to ensure its longevity?

Rubber flooring for sports halls does not require complicated maintenance, but regular care is essential. A vacuum cleaner or damp cloth is suitable for daily cleaning, while neutral pH cleaning agents can be used for more intensive cleaning. Avoid aggressive chemicals and abrasive tools that can damage the surface structure. Periodic inspection allows you to notice possible signs of wear and take corrective action in time, which helps to maintain not only aesthetics but also safety.
