A good floor will elevate both performance and comfort for a table tennis player. It&#;s important to focus on the game rather than potential injuries or fatigue. Table tennis requires swift movement in different directions. The flooring should be durable with plenty of traction to support these types of activities. From a playing perspective, your flooring is integral for optimum performance. If you&#;re looking for table tennis flooring for the home or a professional facility, keep reading to find out more.
Whether you&#;re hosting professional athletes, school-age students, or the general public, table tennis flooring requires specific properties. This is because of the way the body moves during the sport and the equipment needed.
During a game, the player changes direction rapidly and often reverts back to the same spot. Because of this, you need plenty of traction and shock absorption to take the impact off of the joints. With table tennis, you still need a good level of shock absorption to increase comfort for the player and ease the impact on the body. On top of this, you have heavy tables on the flooring. So, anything that dents easily or can&#;t handle heavy equipment is immediately out of the running.
Table tennis flooring should allow the players to move from side to side freely without worrying about each step. The reason many gyms and players use specific table tennis flooring is to provide a safe base that doesn&#;t compromise at all on performance.
With a very high resistance to scratches, your flooring should last for years to come. Durability is essential for high-traffic zones. Another factor to consider is maintenance. Your floor should be easy to clean and maintain. The resistance to wear and tear will help the floor look great even with regular and heavy use.
A textured sports surface is ideal for table tennis flooring. In general, vinyl sports flooring is a popular choice for the sport. This type of flooring is designed for rapid direction changes and quick spinning, all while providing plenty of shock absorption and traction.
Our Sprung Sports for Table Tennis Vinyl flooring solution is part of our dedicated sports flooring solution range. The flooring consists of three layers to optimise performance and boost comfort underfoot. With a foam layer, glass fibre reinforcement layer, and a vinyl top layer, the flooring is versatile and easy to install. When it comes to vinyl flooring, you can buy it by the roll. Generally, we advise that you allow for about 10% wastage when cutting the roll to your space. But overall rolls are a fantastic and straightforward way to install flooring in a large space.
When searching for table tennis flooring, there are a few qualities and properties you should keep an eye out for. As with any sports flooring, you&#;re looking to find something that creates a safe foundation for exercise, comfort, and optimum performance. Here are three must-have qualities for your table tennis flooring.
Naturally, table tennis uses heavy and big pieces of equipment. The sport is played on a large table. So, your flooring needs to be resistant to marks and indents. A material like foam isn&#;t suitable for table tennis as it would mark and tear easily under the pressure of the table. When designing flooring for table tennis, the material tends to have superior resistance to indentations. Otherwise, you will quickly mark and damage the flooring.
With any sport or exercise, comfort is essential. You want your flooring to provide a good level of comfort to players. Shock absorption qualities should offer bounce yet still be firm. The right flooring should be comfortable underfoot while easing the impact on your joints. The footing is essential during table tennis, so flooring should be supportive yet comfortable. A sprung vinyl flooring can help create the right balance while maintaining good durability.
Excellent traction and grip are must-have for table tennis. When you&#;re shifting from side to side, you want the body to move freely. By using flooring with optimal surface friction, the player can focus all their efforts on the game. When you&#;re searching for flooring for specific sports, it&#;s a good idea to find solutions that have been designed with that sport or type of movement in mind. For example, wooden sprung flooring is great for fitness and dance environments, but you wouldn&#;t use it for a free weights area. Table tennis flooring has specific requirements, so you need to take these into account when finding the best solution for your project.
With table tennis, the body moves side to side swiftly and rapidly changes direction during the game. Because of this, table tennis flooring has other applications that it&#;s well suited to. The vinyl sports flooring is ideal for sports like badminton and even martial arts and fencing. Although red vinyl flooring is better suited to table tennis, the flooring is available in other colours. Depending on your activity, you can adjust the colour accordingly to match your facility and general design.
If you&#;re looking for badminton court flooring, our vinyl sports flooring solution comes in green. This is perfect for a sports hall or dedicated badminton facility. With badminton, your body moves quickly and you change direction throughout the game. If you watch a badminton match, you can see how swift the footing looks. This means you need plenty of traction and shock absorption.
Table tennis flooring can also accommodate non-sporting events. If your event requires tables and chairs, you will be able to use vinyl sports flooring without using a protective layer. This is because the floor is already designed to handle heavy gym equipment. So, you don&#;t have to worry about indents and scratches from objects such as tables and chairs. Creating a versatile space is incredibly useful, especially in facilities like a school sports hall or leisure centre.
Your table tennis flooring is vital for the longevity of your facility and your players&#; performance. As a player who moves quickly and rapidly changes direction, your flooring should support that activity. If you&#;re considering upgrading your flooring or looking to create a brand new facility, vinyl sports flooring should be at the top of your list.
As always, it&#;s vital that you match your needs to your flooring. Think about how busy the space will be, the type of movement you will be doing, and your overall goals. If you want to create a fitness facility that provides comfort and promotes optimal performance, then getting the right flooring is the first step to success.

I'm starting to plan on my table tennis room to be.I was on ITTF website: http://www.ittf.com/_front_page/ittf1.asp?category=floors It mentioned this:What will be the best surface for Gerflor Taraflex Table Tennis to go on then?Link for Taraflex:What wall colour would you guys recommend?

Wood flooring or some 5-6 mm insulation ground coat over the conrete or the tiles.
Wall color should be different from the table. If your table is blue, I suggest walls of dark green.
Another thing to take into consideration, if the ceiling is not super high, is to paint that something different than ball colors (white/yellow) - otherwise balls can 'lost' there, especially on high toss serves.
One more thing; as you get everything together for your TT room, PLEASE don't forget about proper lighting... all these other things (flooring, colors... etc.) can feel pointless if the lighting isn't great.
Good luck with it - and don't forget to upload some pix for us as you get the project going.
As far as wall color, dependent on how big of a room you've got, I'd advise against painting the walls too dark. It can make the room feel quite compressed. But, obviously, as Baal mentioned do a color that contrasts the color of your table surface.
You will find out the flooring is VERY pricey, Gerflor/Stag or whatever you want :)
Im looking at taekwando puzzle mats atm, which is the cheapest but not sure it would fit for tt :)

Baal - thank you for your input, but worried green will be too dark. How
about a light colour of some sort - but will be fine with white ball?
Pondus, Lighting will not be a problem, space is about 60~70 square meters - I will go and measure it again tomorrow.
Thomasson, yes flooring would likely be the most expensive of the lot at the moment.
Right now it is tiles - is there really a big problem playing on tiles?
Else I would need to put wood flooring (laminated wood) as Imago suggested, and then put those Red mats.
I might not go for Gerflor - as I would need to import myself, but will
see if there is something close enough. Maybe some suggestions here?
I might also need to import a good table, buy a robot, 288 2star balls
(maybe wait for new balls), flooring, paint, some extra lights.
Wow - no Christmas present for myself this year.....
I think Table Tennis is an addiction
Dont worry about it being dark. What you need is contrast so you can see the ball against the background. If the background shade is too light, you will have a hard time seeing the ball no-matter how much light is in the room, indeed, lots of light can make it worse. Your eyes detect contrasts very well, even at a slightly lower light level. If that background is a different color from the table, you will also be able to see the end of the table better.
Of course, I am talking about an ideal table tennis room that will not be used for other purposes -- in the absence of wives and others who may want to also use the space.

wooden floor is the best choice . for color i prefer brown .the wall paint in white .
Once a week I play in a Gym (basketball court) with wooden floor and white walls.I find that the floor and the orange balls blend, and the white walls and white balls blend.Ideally, walls that are not white or orange, and floors that are not white or orange ish.

I would recommend against TKD mats. I have those for a workout room and the table would damage the foam. Not to mention you would have to play TT barefooted or risk damaging the floor with continuous twisting of the foot with rough shoe soles.
You might have to play tt with TKD training shoes...
Yes I have though about putting a TT table in TKD training room.

have a few nice ideas, really grateful for all of your guys help.
now I just need to try and put everything together and as affordable as I can.
As it is, the floor has tiles (beige), and the wall is beige. The lighing is good. So as it stands I might get away with orange ball.
I'm not sure if I'm going to do all the changes at once, or do it bit by bit (financial reasons).
The tiles isn't slippery - that was my first worry.
Does playing characteristic change on tiles?
Yes, the playground is faster. Balls crack with ease. Human induced humidity makes the tiles slippery.

What color is your table? I think you need to consider what type of interior paint you are going to use in conjunction with the flooring of the room. I feel like wooden flooring is going to squeak most of the time and I honestly like the Tae Kwon Do matting idea.
