Sports flooring is the most important element in a sports area when it comes to the safety, comfort and physical integrity of athletes and sportspeople.

When both outdoor and indoor sports flooring are produced correctly, the value of the space in which they are applied is enhanced.

For Sports Partner, quality sports flooring is one of the most important and therefore strategic products in the sports market. They stand out for their comfort, durability and innovation and are therefore recognized by various bodies both nationally and internationally.

But what defines the quality of sports flooring?
Standards EN 14904 and EN 14877

In January 2007, all European Union countries adopted the EN 14 904:2006 standard. This standard comprises a set of minimum technical requirements that lay the foundations for the development of quality multi-sport flooring.

This standard establishes minimum values that replace those in force at the time it was introduced, and the criteria in this standard are the only valid ones. Safety is the most important factor in the EN 14 904 standard, and all sports flooring must comply with the requirements implemented by the European standard.

For indoor sports flooring, the main factors to take into account are:

• • Drainage
    High UV resistance
    Compression
    Tensile behavior
    Composition

The raw materials used to produce quality sports flooring must have their own specific characteristics that respect the regulatory bases and guarantee the correct sporting performance of its users.

At Sports Partner, we manufacture in-situ, modular, vinyl, wood (solid or not) and polypropylene flooring. Our floors have a multi-sport character, both indoors and outdoors.

However, the floors that stand out the most because they are recognized by professional bodies are the modular polypropylene (PP) sports floors. These are produced using a proprietary formula developed by Sports Partner that meets the regulatory requirements and the most demanding criteria of other bodies.

Quality modular sports flooring is complemented by innovative screens or bases that enhance the characteristics of the modules themselves. Extra comfort, uniform stability and better lateral and vertical cushioning.

What sets them apart in their composition is the fact that they are patented, i.e. unique in their design and model.

Feedback

Quality also depends above all on feedback from technical teams, clubs, sports institutions and even the athletes themselves. It is thanks to this direct contact with sports players that we are able to meet their needs, as well as those of the sports disciplines involved.

The Portuguese Handball Federation, the Swiss Handball Federation, the ITTF – International Table Tennis Federation and Sporting Clube de Portugal are some of the players involved in this process.

The aim is to completely reduce injuries and optimize the physical profitability of potential users of our sports flooring.
