Choosing the right PVC sports flooring thickness depends on your project type, budget, and daily usage.
Different thicknesses are suitable for different sports environments.
4.5mm – Recreational & Budget Projects

This is a practical option for projects with limited budgets and lower daily traffic.
5.0mm / 5.5mm – Schools & Training Courts
Suitable for:
• School gymnasiums
• Badminton clubs
• Table tennis areas
• Training centers
These thicknesses are widely used for daily sports activities and provide a good balance between comfort and durability.
6.0mm – Multi-Purpose Sports Use
Suitable for:
• Basketball courts
• Volleyball courts
• Commercial sports halls
• High-frequency training venues
6.0mm is one of the most popular options for professional and commercial projects because it offers better cushioning and long-term performance.
8.0mm / 10mm – Professional Sports Projects
Suitable for:

Thicker flooring provides better shock absorption and more comfortable movement for long-term use.
More Than Just Thickness
Thickness is important, but flooring performance also depends on:
• Wear layer quality
• Foam density
• Fiberglass reinforcement
• Surface texture
Before placing an order, it is always recommended to test samples and confirm the correct specification for your project.
