If you're building a sports facility in India and wooden flooring feels out of reach, either in cost or complexity, PVC sports flooring is likely the next conversation you're going to have.
Here's everything you need to know about PVC sports flooring: what it is, what it costs, how long it lasts, and where it works best.
PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride, a synthetic material that can be manufactured in flexible sheet or roll form. Sports-grade PVC flooring is layered: a wear surface on top, a foam or cushioning layer in the middle, and a backing layer at the bottom. Each layer contributes to how the floor feels underfoot, how long it lasts, and how it handles impact.
Dayal's PVC sports flooring, also called Hova courts, is available across a range of thicknesses: 4.7mm, 5.2mm, 6.2mm, 7.2mm, and 8.2mm. Thicker options provide more cushioning and shock absorption. The right thickness depends on the sport, the usage intensity, and the budget.
Dayal's PVC flooring covers a wide range of applications across three main categories:
Badminton courts, Table tennis, Indoor tennis, Volleyball, Basketball, Futsal, Swimming pool surrounds, Gym areas
Schools and kindergartens, Hospitals, Shopping malls, supermarkets, Dance rooms, Garages
Buses and trains
The key feature of a proper sports-grade PVC floor isn't the top surface. It's what's underneath.
Dayal's PVC sports flooring has a moderate foam buffer layer that provides users with comfort and safety, giving good grip and preventing injuries caused by playing on conventional floors. That foam layer is what separates a sports PVC floor from basic vinyl flooring. It absorbs a portion of the impact energy when athletes jump, pivot, and sprint, energy that would otherwise go directly into joints.
PVC flooring is significantly more affordable than wooden sports flooring, which is a big reason why it's the default choice for schools, community centers, and mid-range club facilities across India.
Approximate cost range in India: ₹80–150 per sq ft for materials and installation, depending on:
With proper care, PVC sports flooring typically lasts 10-15 years in an indoor environment. Some factors that affect longevity:
This is one of PVC flooring's genuine advantages. It doesn't need the specialized care that wooden courts require.
