Premium Sports Flooring

premium-sports-flooring-banner

Sports flooring is not just a surface. It is a performance system engineered to enhance athletic ability, ensure safety, prevent injuries, and maintain consistent playability over time. Sports flooring marketed by Yeti Carpet is a premium-grade sports flooring collection, designed for indoor and outdoor sports facilities, including basketball courts, volleyball courts, tennis courts,futsal arenas, gymnasiums, and multipurpose halls.

Today’s sports environments require flooring that can sustain high-intensity movements, repeated impacts, rapid directional changes, sliding friction, ball bounce consistency, and biomechanical load absorption. Sports flooring is built with advanced multi-layered technology to deliver these requirements along with long-lasting durability, slip resistance, and visually appealing finishes.

What Is Sports Flooring?

Many flooring types exist such as tiles, wood, vinyl, and rubber, but sports flooring is completely different. It is an engineered system developed specifically for courts, games, athletics, andfitness environments. Unlike home or commercial floors, sports flooring must respond to dynamic movements.

Sports flooring typically includes the following performance properties

Because of these needs, sports flooring uses advanced materials such as:

  • PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
  • Polyurethane (PU)
  • Rubber
  • Acrylic elastomers

01. Shock absorption

Reduces impact on players’ joints, preventing injuries during jumps, runs, and sudden stops.

02. Vertical deformation:

Allows the surface to slightly flex under pressure, enhancing comfort.

03. Ball bounce consistency

Especially crucial for sports like basketball, tennis, and volleyball.

04. Slip resistance

Prevents slipping accidents. Too slippery is dangerous, and too grippy restricts mobility.

05. Energy return

Enables athletes to move efficiently without excessive fatigue.

06. Durability under heavy use

Sports courts endure constant friction, foot traffic, ball impacts, and equipment pressure.

Sports flooring is based on PVC multi-layer technology, making it suitable for indoor multi-sport courts and high-performance athletic applications.

Why Nepal Needs Specialized Sports Flooring

full-frame-shot

Sports culture in Nepal is rapidly growing, with increasing interest in:

    • Basketball
    • Volleyball
    • Tennis
    • Badminton
    • Futsal
    • Multi-purpose school and college sports
    • Recreational activities in clubs and fitness centers

There is strong demand for professional-grade flooring that supports both athletes and recreational players.

Traditional cement or tiles
do not meet international sports standards and contribute to

  • Joint injuries
  • Poor ball bounce
  • Slipping hazards
  • Faster fatigue
  • Higher maintenance

Yeti Carpet addresses this gap by offering premium sports flooring designed for Nepal’s climate, usage patterns, and facility requirements.

Typical Multi-Layer Structure of Synthetic Sports Flooring

Layer 1

Subfloor / Base Layer

A prepared concrete or asphalt surface that must be level, clean, and stable. This forms the foundation for the sports flooring system.

Layer 2

Primer / Adhesion Layer

Because the design runs throughout the material, scratches or minor abrasions do not expose a different layer underneath. This ensures long-term visual consistency.

Layer 3

Leveling / Resurfacer Layer

A smooth, uniform layer that corrects surface imperfections and creates a consistent plane for the cushioning layer above.

Layer 4

Cushion / Shock Absorption Layer

This layer absorbs impact when athletes jump, sprint, land, and twist. It protects joints, especially knees and ankles, and reduces fatigue.

Materials commonly used:

  • Foam
  • Rubber granules
  • Elastomeric acrylic

Layer 5

Resistant to Stains and Chemicals

Provides the visual appearance of the floor using durable pigments such as:

Materials commonly used:

  • Mineral Green
  • Light Blue
  • Cherry Red
  • Dawn Grey

The texture is engineered to enhance grip and slip resistance.

Layer 6

Wear Layer / Topcoat

A transparent protective layer that:

  • Prevents scratches
  • Resists shoe abrasion
  • Maintains color brightness
  • Ensures smooth ball bounce
  • Protects from UV and chemical damage

Layer 7

Line Markings

High-contrast markings applied for:

  • Basketball
  • Volleyball
  • Tennis
  • Badminton
  • Indoor futsal
  • Multi-purpose zones
