8 Indoor Athletic Surfaces From C&C Courts

If you’re here, it’s because you understand the importance of a high-performing athletic court surface. Every sneaker squeak, ball dribble, or dumbbell drop needs a surface that not only enhances the performance of everyone who steps on it but also provides a safe, stable playing environment for everyone to benefit from. 

Whether you’re looking for a surface for your home indoor court, a community center, or a local gym, you’ve come to the right place. C&C Courts carry some of the best athletic court surfaces on the market. Between all the surface selections we have available from Sport Court® and TarkettSports®, we have just about any sport, activity, or passion you wish to partake in covered. 

Check out the benefits of these eight indoor athletic court surfaces and decide which one is right for you!

Sport Court® Surfaces

Sport Court® has three innovative indoor court surfaces for your home or community athletic court. You can even choose from different colors and styles to achieve the custom court design look you’re striving for while still getting the shock absorption and safety that you deserve. 

Maple Select™

Maple Select™ is our primer modular product that captures the look of a hardwood maple floor but requires none of the regular maintenance. Real maple hardwood can be expensive to purchase and install, but Maple Select™ removes that barrier. Plus, it looks amazing and can be customized with different colors or shades. 

All indoor modular courts come with a 2MM underlayment that helps protect joints, so your body doesn’t take a beating while playing. 

Response HG™

Response HG™ flooring is engineered and tested to ensure the safety of anyone playing on this surface. It is flexible and durable, which makes it perfect for multipurpose indoor activities. Response HG™ features superior traction and shock absorption capabilities to protect your joints and body from extra pain, keeping you in top form. 

Defense™

The Defense™ surface material is the most affordable and cost-effective athletic flooring. It also comes in more than 20 colors to customize to your court. It has Patented Lateral Forgiveness, which protects athletes’ joints, and has an optional underlayment to provide extra shock absorption. 

PrimePlay

PrimePlay outdoor sport court surfaces have the benefit of 50 years of experience in the court flooring industry. Over the decades, PrimePlay has been developed as a perfect alternative to concrete in outdoor sports courts. It is durable, has superior traction, and excellent ball response (compared to playing on a hardwood floor). PrimePlay also features 14% shock absorption to help reduce injury and lessen impact on joints. It also features Lateral Forgiveness technology. PrimePlay comes in many different colors for a stunning sports court. 

TarkettSports Surfaces®

TarkettSports® is a world leader in athletic surfaces, including indoor and outdoor surfaces. Established in 1886, TarketSports® and the TarkettGroup have over 130 years of experience and knowledge, making it one of the largest flooring manufacturers in the world.

That’s why C&C Courts trusts TarkettSports® and has partnered with them to bring you their top indoor surface materials. 

Tarkett Omnisports™

Tarkett Omnisports™ is a great flooring surface for volleyball courts, basketball courts, and more. It’s the preferred indoor game court surface for any facility that provides multi-sport options. It has great shock absorption and requires minimal maintenance. 

Dropzone Rubber™

Dropzone Rubber™ is built for maximum flexibility and impact absorption. It’s made with a recycled underlayment, along with a virgin rubber wear layer on top to give it its appearance and color. Perfect for weightroom applications, Dropzone Rubber™ comes in a variety of colors, sizes, applications, and thicknesses. It is perfect for any workout environment looking for noise reduction, as well. 

Polyturf Plus Pad & Pour™

Polyturf Plus Pad & Pour™ is a great option for multi-use gyms, fieldhouses, training facilities, and inline skating. It is a seamless surface that is visually simplistic and easy to clean. It can withstand the harshest conditions and is easy to maintain.

The renewable top layer can be recoated at any time if you experience damage. Polyturf is flexible and can accommodate facilities of any size. 

Lumaflex™

Lumaflex™ is a perfect choice for long-term investments that provide long-term gains. Lumaflex™ is an 18-ply birch wood subfloor that is more stable than solid wood. This flooring has a vapor barrier that helps it withstand concrete moisture. It also has minimal maintenance requirements, which is great for multi-purpose facilities. 

Lumaflex™ is regarded as one of the top options for comfort, safety, and sports performance through its use of area-elastic floors, which disperse downward force over a wider surface area. 

Choosing the Right Surface for Your Sports Court

No matter whether you’re planning an indoor or outdoor sports court, choosing the right court surface can require a little assistance. In Wisconsin, you can choose between concrete, asphalt, or modular tiles for your surface, though we recommend concrete over asphalt due to Wisconsin’s weather conditions. 

The above-listed surfaces are largely modular tiles, which are low-maintenance and easy to replace if damaged. 

Let’s take a look at some different applications for sport court surfaces:

Schools and Recreational Centers

Schools and recreational centers experience heavy traffic on their indoor courts and require extra-durable surface materials. For many school gyms, Maple Select is a perfect choice because it is low-maintenance and cost-effective. It is also durable and quick to install to avoid lengthy downtime.

Commercial Gyms

For commercial gyms, we recommend TarkettSports flooring. Whether you choose Droptile or Dropzone, these indoor surfaces will help protect your weight machines, equipment, and gym members. Many of these surfaces are ideal for heavy-duty weightlifting and CrossFit workouts. 

Residential Indoor Court or Gym

Building an indoor court or gym in your home has many health benefits, making it easier to get regular exercise. For this application, we highly recommend Maple Select or PrimePlay for the durable, low-maintenance flooring you need. 

Outdoor Multi-Sports Court

If you’re looking to build an outdoor multi-sport court to increase versatility, you need a durable outdoor surface material that works well for different sports. To ensure everyone stays safe on your court, we recommend PrimePlay for their safety features, ease of replacement, and durability.
