Indoor Sports Tiles

Indoor Sports Tiles are constructed of high-quality impact-resistant polypropylene, which is an extremely durable hard thermoplastic polymer. This ensures colorfastness, durability, and chemical resistance in each and every Indoor Sports Tile. These tiles have been designed to be a primarily indoor court tile for basketball courts, badminton courts, and shuffleboards, just to name a few. These tiles come in various colors that can be mixed to create many unique patterns and designs and can be painted to create the custom court of choice. Our court flooring tiles have been built to last, providing shock absorbency for high-impact sports. As an addition to the floor, a rubber underlayment can be laid under the floor to provide an even greater amount of shock absorbency and a springy surface to play on. These solid surface tiles are also backed by a 10-year warranty, ensuring that your new court floor will last for years to come.

Recommended Uses - Our Indoor Sports Tiles are an excellent flooring choice for indoor basketball courts, volleyball courts, badminton courts, and more. However, they are not recommended for pickleball or tennis.
