With the good weather on its way, outdoor sports are looking far more appealing. Top quality outdoor flooring helps to make this experience even more enjoyable.
Dreaming of slipping on your running shoes and going for a jog? If so, you know full well what it’s like to run on a smooth, tailor-made running surface or a bumpy dirt track.
This holds true for all sports. Whichever exercise you do outdoors, the flooring always plays a big role in terms of athletes’ comfort, safety and well-being.
Durability is key when choosing the best outdoor flooring. That said, there are numerous other factors to consider.
Indoor gyms always have far more protection than outdoor areas. Therefore, the materials used for all outdoor sports must meet other requirements and stand up to endless wear and tear.
Areas for all outdoor sports involve surfaces exposed to the elements, subject to multiple variables:
Consequently, choosing outdoor flooring requires great care. When thinking about fitting an outdoor gym or CrossFit box, there are some factors to consider when choosing sports flooring:
The more versatile the outdoor flooring is, the wider the range of disciplines it can be used for. Alternatively, create different areas in the space using a range of materials or contrasting colours.
To ensure athlete safety, flooring must be anti-slip in the right places. For most sports, flooring friction helps to prevent falls and injuries.
Compact rubber-based materials generally help absorb the shock from impact during exercise. By providing elastic resistance, these materials prevent athlete fatigue during running or different floor impact.
As outdoor physical conditions are far more testing and take a greater toll on the materials, durability is a key factor. Investing in high-quality products helps keep them in good condition for longer.
Installing and maintaining a space for outdoor sports shouldn’t require too much effort or time. Some options even enable temporary outdoor flooring, given their ease of assembly and disassembly.
This rubber roll flooring offers excellent shock absorption to provide greater comfort for outdoor sports.

It also ensures the reduction of joint stress and pressue through its patented Lateral forgiveness technology.

Lateral Forgiveness, once again playing it’s part in reducing tiredness and pains. All this at a price, which is really affordable.
ACRYLIC PAINT
Acrylic Coating is usually associated with a polymeric, plastic material that is extremely durable, having excellent weathering properties, and is very resistant to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight and the adverse effects of weathering. It basically makes room for maintaining play speed while still retaining the bright color pattern.
ACRYLIC COLOR
It is an emulsion, which is brimming with sand, thus making it a non-slip, and a full acrylic-based, any-weather applicant. We inject minute particles of silica sand to enhance the various playability factors.
TEXTURE/FINE RUBBER
This consists of flimsy rubber particles which supplement the gaps left over from the base rubber coat.
LINE PAINTING
Line painting involves the usage of 100% clear emulsion of primer. The primer coat involved in Line painting has a follow-up of 2 textured line-paint glazes. This emulsion fills the voids between the game court and the obscuring tape. To make the surrounding area look similar to the court, we inject the line paint with silica sand.
