Sports flooring
Floors designed for sport and movement: comfort, safety, durability, shock absorption and markings suited to every use.
Sports halls, schools, dance studios, fitness areas or private facilities: de Buedemleër supports you in choosing, supplying, installing and renovating your sports flooring.
A floor suited to every sporting activity
Not all sports floors have to meet the same requirements. The choice depends in particular on the activity, the intensity of use, the level of comfort required, shock absorption, grip, durability and the markings needed.
Performance, comfort & safety
Sport & use — A solution chosen according to the activity and the level of stress.
Shock absorption — A suitable construction to better manage impacts.
Grip — A surface suited to the movements and changes of direction specific to the activity.
Durability — Solutions designed to withstand repeated stress and the equipment used.
Comfort — The way the floor behaves contributes to users’ comfort.
Line marking — Lines suited to the sports played and the layout of the hall.
Renovation — Depending on the system, an existing sports floor can be repaired or renovated.
Understanding the elasticity of a sports floor
How a sports floor behaves depends in particular on the way it deforms and absorbs impacts. There are different principles of elasticity.
Area elasticity — A wider area of the floor deforms around the point of impact. This principle is found in particular in certain sports parquet constructions.
Point elasticity — The floor deforms mainly at the point of impact. This principle is found in particular in certain soft sports solutions.
Combined elasticity — Brings the two principles together to combine their characteristics. The right system depends on the activity, the use of the hall and the performance required.
The different sports flooring solutions
Sports parquet combines a wood surface with a construction suited to sporting use. Depending on the system, the substructure contributes to shock absorption and to how the floor behaves.
Pulastic® is a poured polyurethane sports system that creates a continuous surface. Different constructions and thicknesses can be used depending on the performance required and the substrate.
Turf by Pavigym® combines an artificial-turf-type surface with a soft base to create areas dedicated in particular to functional exercises.
Taraflex® is a vinyl sports floor covering with a construction that includes a foam layer. It is available in different systems depending on the level of performance and the use required.
Sports linoleum offers a hard-wearing surface made from raw materials of natural origin. Its sports performance depends on the complete construction of the floor.
Mobile solutions make it possible to temporarily cover an existing court for a competition, an event or a specific marking need, and then be dismantled after use.
Basketball, handball, badminton or other sports: the playing lines are marked according to how the court is used and the sports played. The same hall can have several sets of markings to allow multi-sport use.

Fitness & dance studios
Fitness areas and dance studios have specific requirements that call for solutions suited to their use.
Fitness — Depending on the area and the equipment, the floor must provide grip, durability and protection against impacts, particularly where weights and machines are used.
Dance studios — The choice of floor depends on the type of dance, the level of comfort required, grip and the expected behaviour of the surface.

Every sports project has its own requirements. We advise you on the solution suited to the activity, the use of the spaces and the performance required.
Your questions about sports flooring
There is in particular point elasticity, where the floor deforms mainly at the point of impact, area elasticity, where a wider area contributes to the deformation, and combined systems. The choice depends on the activity and the performance required.
The choice depends on the sports played, how often the hall is used, the performance required and the constraints of the building. Several systems may be suitable; we define the solution according to the project.
Yes, depending on the type of covering and its condition. Some surfaces can be repaired, renovated or given a new finishing coat, while others require more extensive work.
Yes. Depending on the covering and its condition, markings can be adapted or renewed to match the sports played and the layout of the hall.
Fitness areas and dance studios have specific requirements that call for solutions suited to their use.
Fitness — Depending on the areas, the exercises performed and the equipment, the floor must provide suitable grip, good durability and sufficient impact absorption. In areas with weights and machines, it also helps protect the substrate against impacts.
Dance studios — The choice of floor depends on the type of dance, the level of comfort required, grip and the expected behaviour of the surface. The floor construction must therefore be chosen according to how the studio is used.
