Ecore Launches Vinyl Sports Floor with High-Performance Rubber Backing

Ecore Baller Motivate Class I.jpg
June 16, 2022

Ecore has engineered a comprehensive and cohesive line-up of five unique surface options developed per ASTM F2772 Class I and Class II certification guidelines for indoor sports floor systems.

Industry’s First Vinyl Sports Court Surfaces with High-Performance Rubber Backing

Developed for athletic courts and multipurpose areas, Baller Motivate Class I provides exceptional commercial-grade durability and realistic wood/court visuals. The performance flooring product features a 2mm vinyl surface layer factory fusion bonded through itsTRU technology to a 5mm vulcanized composition rubber (VCR) base layer. Baller Motivate Class I also is quiet underfoot, easy to maintain and offers consistent playability. The floor is resistant to static and rolling loads and is ergonomic with an absorption of impact energy (force reduction) of 28.3% for ASTM F2772 Class I requirements.

Developed for a variety of indoor sports, Baller Rally Class II features a 2mm vinyl surface layer factory fusion bonded through itsTRU technology to a 12mm Class II VCR base layer. Class II refers to a Force Reduction of between 22% and 33% per the ASTM F2772 sports floor standard. The product is ideal for multi-purpose sports/courts, cardio, group exercise, dance/yoga, therapy/rehab, labs, and childcare zones. 

The Balanced, Restorative, and Serenity Class I health and wellbeing vinyl high-performance flooring products feature a 2mm sheet vinyl surface layer fusion bonded to a 5mm base layer. This flooring offers sophisticated visuals that are intended for fitness, health and wellbeing applications and provide exceptional safety, ergonomic, and acoustic performance. Applications include cardio, group fitness, locker rooms/restrooms, common areas, sports medicine/rehab, retail, offices, and more.

ASTM F2772 measures four key factors to certify and classify flooring safety and suitability for indoor sports activities. These factors include: force reduction, surface finish effect (also called “friction”), ball rebound, and vertical deformation. Each parameter provides valuable information for selecting a sports/recreational flooring system.

Available in a variety of surface colors and patterns, the Ecore Class I and Class II products also feature sound and shock absorption, and are fade resistant, easy to clean, and slip resistant wet or dry.

ECORE Sports Flooring

Ralph Godfrey
June 17, 2022
Great concept! I do not look at this innovation as a shortcut, but as a great improvement to conventional gymnasium flooring. The life time cost reductions in maintenance and resurfacing and/or refinishing of the flooring could almost off set the origional cost of a properly installed ECORE sports flooring.
