Courts · School halls · Gyms
Cushioned sports vinyl for courts and school halls, rubber tiles for the weight room and turf for training lanes. One team chooses the right surface for each zone, then supplies and fits it.
Quick answer
A surface made for movement: it cushions landings, grips during quick turns and gives the ball an even bounce. Most indoor halls in the UAE use PVC sports vinyl, because one floor can carry badminton, volleyball and basketball lines. Gyms add rubber where weights drop, and training lanes use short turf.
Choose by space
Match the surface to what happens on it. A hall that hosts PE classes all day needs more cushioning than a dance studio, and a weight area needs rubber, not vinyl.
| Space | Our pick | Why it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Dance and yoga studios, training rooms | Omnisports, lighter grades (V35–V50) | Firm and fast underfoot, easy to keep clean |
| School halls, badminton and volleyball | Omnisports, mid grades (V65) | Cushioning for daily PE and quick side steps, one floor for several courts |
| Basketball, futsal, high-impact use | Omnisports, top grades (V83–V120) | The thickest foam layer for jumping and hard landings |
| Home gyms, studios, kids' play rooms | 8 mm sports vinyl | Warm and cushioned, 1.8 m rolls, nine colours and wood looks |
| Cardio and stretching zones | Rubber gym tiles, 6 mm | Quiet under machines, grippy when sweaty |
| Free weights and racks | Rubber gym tiles, 12 mm | Spreads the load of dropped plates and protects the slab |
| Sled pushes, functional lanes | Turf-topped rubber tiles | Low-friction turf to push on, rubber shock pad underneath |
| Putting practice at home | 16 mm putting green turf | Short, dense pile for a true roll |
Higher Omnisports grades have a thicker foam backing, so they absorb more impact. For heavy lifting rooms, see the full range on our gym flooring page.
From AED 100 / sqm
Tarkett Omnisports in five grades for school halls, courts and clubs, plus our 8 mm cushioned sports vinyl in nine colours and wood looks for home gyms, studios and play rooms. Both come in wide rolls, so a hall needs only a few joints.
Price on request
Interlocking tiles in 6, 10 and 12 mm, black with white or blue fleck. They lay loose on a flat floor, so a room can be done in an afternoon and lifted again if you move. The full rubber range is on our gym flooring page.
Price on request
Turf-topped rubber tiles for functional training and sled lanes, and a 16 mm putting green for golf practice at home or on a terrace.
Pricing
Rates per square metre, supplied and fitted by our team. Rubber and turf move with stock and quantity, so we confirm those after checking what is in the warehouse.
| Floor | Supply | Installation | Fitted |
|---|---|---|---|

| Tarkett Omnisports | from AED 153 | AED 30 | from AED 183 / sqm |

What moves the price: the grade you pick, the size of the space, and the state of the base. Cracked or uneven screed has to be levelled before any sports floor goes down, and we quote that separately after the site visit.
Compare
| Type | Best for | Strong points | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVC sports vinyl | Halls, courts, schools, studios | Cushioned, one surface for many sports, quick to clean | Indoor only; dropped weights dent it |
| Rubber tiles | Gyms and weight areas | Absorbs dropped weights, cuts noise | Too grippy for ball sports; a rubber smell for the first weeks |
| Sports turf | Sled lanes, putting, kids' zones | Grip for pushing, works indoors and out | Needs brushing to keep the pile upright |
| Sprung wood | Pro basketball arenas | Classic bounce and look | Highest cost and sensitive to humidity. Not in our range |
| Poured PU or acrylic | Outdoor courts, running tracks | No joints, weather resistant | Specialist pour with long curing. Not in our range |
Installation
We measure, check the base for cracks and moisture, and agree the grade and colours with you.
Low spots are levelled and the slab is cleaned, because every dip shows through a sports floor.
Vinyl rolls rest in the room for a day, are glued down and the seams heat-welded. Rubber tiles interlock without glue.
A final walk-round, plus cleaning advice for your staff. Most home gyms are finished in a day; halls take a few days.

Why Floor Land
Vinyl for the court, rubber for the weights, turf for the lanes: we plan each area instead of selling one floor for everything.
The team that measures is the team that installs, across 1500+ projects in Dubai.

FAQs
A floor designed around athletes: it protects joints on landing, keeps feet steady during quick turns and lets a ball behave the same anywhere on the court. The common types are PVC sports vinyl, rubber tiles, sports turf, sprung wood and poured PU or acrylic.
Most indoor halls in the UAE use PVC sports vinyl, such as Tarkett Omnisports. It is glued down with welded seams, can carry lines for several sports and is easy to clean. Professional basketball arenas sometimes use sprung wood instead.
A cushioned vinyl sheet with a foam backing and a tough wear layer on top. The foam takes the shock, the top gives grip and a steady bounce, and the roll joints are welded so no edge can lift.
Indoors, sports vinyl in a mid or top grade suits badminton, volleyball, basketball and futsal. Outdoor courts need a poured acrylic or PU surface, which is not part of our range.
PVC sports vinyl for halls and courts, rubber tiles for gyms and weight areas, sports turf for training lanes and putting, sprung wood for pro arenas, and poured PU or acrylic for outdoor courts and tracks.
Our 8 mm sports vinyl costs AED 135 per sqm supplied and fitted. Tarkett Omnisports starts from AED 183 per sqm fitted. Rubber gym tiles and turf are quoted after a stock check. Levelling a poor base is priced separately.
Yes for cardio, yoga, dance and bodyweight training. If you lift heavy free weights, put 10 or 12 mm rubber tiles in that corner, because dropped plates can dent vinyl.
Usually, yes. Sound, level tiles can take sports vinyl once the grout lines are filled and the surface is smoothed. Rubber tiles can go straight onto flat tiles. Loose or cracked tiles have to come up first.
No. Sun and rain break down the foam and the glue. For outdoor training areas we use turf-topped rubber tiles. Open-air tennis or basketball courts are coated on site instead, which is a different trade.
A sports vinyl floor that is cleaned properly usually lasts 10 years or more in a school hall, and longer in a home gym. Rubber tiles last for years and single tiles can be swapped if one gets damaged.
A home gym or studio is normally done in a day. A school or club hall takes a few days, depending on its size and how much levelling the base needs.
