Best Wood Surfaces for Futsal Courts

Futsal courts have specific requirements for the "wood texture," "motion feedback," and "durability" of the court surface. A wood surface doesn't necessarily mean solid wood sports flooring; it's more about seeking the visual texture of wood and the anti-slip, bounce, and other athletic performance benefits it provides. PVC vinyl flooring, with its design and craftsmanship imitating oak and maple patterns, offers the same athletic performance and an aesthetically pleasing wood surface, while providing better durability and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional solid wood materials.

Performance Parameters Standards for Optimal Futsal Court Surfaces:

The characteristics of futsal dictate that "wooden surfaces" cannot merely pursue visual resemblance; they must also meet the following professional indicators.

Ball rebound rate: ≥85%, ensuring a uniform rebound speed after the ball lands, matching the player's muscle memory and not affecting the passing and shooting rhythm;

Shock absorption: 18%-25%, quickly absorbing the impact force when jumping and landing, reducing the risk of knee, ankle, and other joint injuries, especially suitable for teenagers and high-frequency training scenarios;

Coefficient of friction (COF): 0.6-0.8, meeting standards in both dry and slightly damp environments – providing sufficient grip to prevent slippage during sudden stops without hindering smooth sliding during changes of direction;

Dimensional stability: Shrinkage rate ≤0.2%, resistant to temperature changes from -15℃ to 30℃, avoiding warping and cracking caused by thermal expansion and contraction;

Abrasion resistance: Abrasion test wear amount ≤0.1g/1000 revolutions, resistant to football stud friction and high-frequency trampling, with a service life ≥10 years;

Environmental protection and safety: VOC emissions ≤0.08mg/m³, formaldehyde-free, heavy metal-free, meeting food-grade safety standards, with no health hazards after long-term use.

Wood Grain Pattern PVC Futsal court Flooring Material

Wood-look PVC flooring doesn't just mimic wood grain; it's specifically designed for sports or futsal, replicating performance and texture. The specific structure and manufacturing process are as follows:

It uses a PU wear-resistant coating and high-precision wood grain printing technology to replicate the texture and feel of natural woods like maple and oak through an embossing process. The low-gloss design avoids glare, and the visual texture is indistinguishable from solid wood.

It is composed of PP Vinyl material and double-layer fiberglass mesh, with a tensile strength ≥500N/5cm.

It uses a high-density PVC elastic foam structure, with an impact absorption rate of 25%-30% (far exceeding the 20% of solid wood flooring), suitable for general sports and competition training.

What Wood Grain Flooring Can We Offer?

ShengBang's PVC sports flooring features a wood grain design and is available in a variety of colors, including the commonly used natural wood color (yellow), as well as patterns such as black maple, gray maple, blue maple, and oak. Compared to more expensive wood flooring, it offers greater customization options. Depending on your specific needs, you can choose different thicknesses from 4.5-12mm, and based on the actual court area, select an appropriate amount of vinyl rolls while controlling costs. We are happy to provide a detailed quote.

How to build a Futsal Court?

1. Define the Field Specifications

The specifications of a five-a-side football field have strict industry standards, which can be slightly adjusted according to the usage scenario (professional events must meet the standard, while home/community fields can be appropriately reduced):

Standard Size: Length 40 meters × Width 20 meters (error ±2 meters, i.e., minimum 38×18 meters, maximum 42×22 meters), suitable for professional events and commercial venues;

Mini Size: Length 25-35 meters × Width 15-20 meters, suitable for school playgrounds, community recreation areas, and home yards (such as villa vacant lots);

Key Details:

Field lines are 5 cm wide, and all lines are within the field boundaries (using white wear-resistant paint; for professional fields, it is recommended to pre-print them on the floor);

Goal Area: Extends 5.8 meters from the goal line into the field, with a width of 11 meters (forming a rectangular penalty area);

Penalty Spot: 6 meters from the goal line, with a penalty arc radius of 8 meters;

Corner Flag: Radius 1 1. A fan-shaped area (meters in diameter) needs to be reserved for installing corner flags.

2. Site Selection and Field Type Determination (Indoor/Outdoor to Meet Different Needs)

Outdoor Fields:

Advantages: Low cost, good ventilation, flexible space, suitable for community, park, and school open-air areas;

Requirements: Flat terrain (slope ≤1%, avoid water accumulation), away from residential areas (reduce noise interference), good drainage (avoid rainwater accumulation);

Notes: Sun protection (surrounding greenery can provide shade), rain protection (good drainage layer at the base), wind protection (netting height ≥3 meters, prevent the ball from flying out).

Indoor Fields:

Advantages: Unaffected by weather, can be used in all weather conditions, suitable for commercial venues, school gymnasiums, and underground spaces;

Requirements: Clear height ≥4.5 meters (avoid players hitting the ceiling while jumping), ground load-bearing capacity ≥1000kg/㎡ (withstands the weight of players and equipment), good ventilation (install exhaust fans or fresh air system), uniform lighting (no obvious shadows).

3. Budget Allocation: Reasonable Cost Breakdown (Taking a 100㎡ Field as an Example)

The budget needs to cover "basic engineering, flooring materials, equipment procurement, construction and installation, and post-construction maintenance." Costs vary significantly depending on the specific scenario, with the key being the selection of flooring materials and the installation of supporting facilities. Choosing wood-grain PVC flooring can meet the needs of various scenarios, even basketball, tennis, and other courts.

By following the above process, you will have a "professional, safe, and durable" five-a-side football field, meeting core needs whether for hosting competitions, training sessions, or family entertainment.
