Indoor handball courts require a sturdy type of flooring that supports players while giving them the ability to make quick cuts without slipping. The best modular flooring for indoor handball courts will be great for practice and games, while providing a surface that also works for other kinds of sports, including basketball and volleyball.

What Is the Right Sports Flooring for Indoor Handball Courts?

Flooring for handball can consist of a number of different materials. When a DIY installation with tiles is in the works, the tiles often have a plastic base that provides the stability required. Many of these types of tiles have a vinyl layer over the top, mimicking the look of wood tiles or slate, which delivers a great look.

Flooring made for sports courts needs to create a safe surface for athletes, so they can avoid injury. If the flooring is too hard, athletes run the risk of suffering stress injuries in the lower body, including the ankles, knees, and hips.

Having a shock-absorbing property with these modular tiles, while also delivering stability for making cuts in shoes and for providing a consistent ball bounce, is a key to creating a safe and efficient court. Whether these are indoor handball courts that will be for the public or will be for a private club, having high-quality flooring is essential to the health of the athletes.

As another advantage of modular tiling for indoor handball courts, the installer can cut them to fit a particular size and coverage area. Lock the modular tiles together until they reach the edge of the room, where the installer can cut each individual tile to fit the dimensions of the remaining space.

One of the best modular tiles for indoor handball courts consists of plastic tile bases with a vinyl top layer. These tiles pop together quickly, creating a simple DIY install.

The plastic base tray contains an interlocking system, which will hold it together under the stress of athletes playing handball on the finished floor. The vinyl layer has a design that allows it to resemble wood or other materials, creating a high-end look.
