Point-elastic sports vinyl engineered for badminton, gymnasium, multipurpose halls and dance studios. EN 14904 compliant. BWF-approved ranges for competition-level badminton (Taraflex Surface 7.0). The dominant specification for Malaysian sports facilities.
Sports vinyl is a multi-layer vinyl sheet engineered for athletic performance: shock-absorbing foam underlayer, structural layer, performance wear surface. Tested to EN 14904 for shock absorption (force reduction), vertical deformation, ball rebound and surface friction.
Closed-cell foam underlayer bonded to a heterogeneous vinyl wear sheet. The foam delivers controlled shock absorption (typically 25–55% force reduction); the wear layer delivers grip + ball-rebound performance.
