An indoor hall floor must protect athletes' joints, keep a true ball bounce and be easy to clean. Polyurethane sports floors and timber meet these needs in different ways.
What a hall floor must do
An indoor floor must absorb impact during running and jumping, keep ball bounce consistent, provide suitable friction and be easy to clean.
Polyurethane sports floors
Poured polyurethane layers over an elastic base. Seamless, unaffected by moisture, easy to clean, with lines sealed into the surface.
Timber floors
Chosen for their classic look and feel. Sensitive to humidity and temperature changes; they need periodic sanding and lacquering.
Multi-purpose use
If the hall also hosts concerts, ceremonies or exams, protecting the floor against chairs and stage loads should be planned.
Deciding
The choice weighs sport, intensity of use, budget, climate control and maintenance resources together.
