A Polyurethane Surface (Tartan) volleyball court is a multi-layer synthetic system composed of polyurethane (PU) resins combined with rubber granules (EPDM or SBR) in the surface or base layers.
This combination provides the following key performance benefits:
⦁ Consistent traction for safe and quick movements.
⦁ Shock absorption to reduce the impact on knees and ankles during jumps and landings.
⦁ Slip resistance and consistent performance under various conditions — whether for indoor gyms or outdoor courts exposed to the weather.
- ⦁ Court Dimensions (Standard Play Area):
18 × 9 meters (playing area).
Recommended total space: 24 × 12 meters minimum for safe operation and player movement.
⦁ Subbase Requirements:
Flat concrete or asphalt base (tolerance ≤ ±3 mm per 2 m).
⦁ System Thickness:
Total thickness ranges between 10 mm and 28 mm, depending on usage:
• Academic or training courts: 12–18 mm
• School or high-use facilities: 18–28 mm
⦁ Targeted Performance Properties:
• Shock Absorption — tested according to EN 14808
• Slip Resistance — tested with Pendulum / PTV
• Stable Coefficient of Friction and uniform surface texture
⦁ Typical Materials:
• Cushion base layer: SBR + PU
• Top surface layer: EPDM + PU, offering color stability and long-lasting performance.

Benefits of Volleyball Polyurethane Surface (Tartan) Courts
Tartan volleyball court
The Polyurethane Surface (Tartan) system effectively absorbs impact upon landing, helping to reduce repetitive injuries and enhance long-term athlete safety.
The surface ensures stable footing for precise movements during serving, receiving, and diving—offering players better control and agility on every play.
Requires minimal upkeep—simple cleaning and occasional washing are enough to maintain performance and appearance over time.
When using UV-treated materials, outdoor systems remain durable and color-stable, even under sun exposure, rain, and temperature changes.
The surface speed can be adjusted (slow / medium / fast) by modifying layer composition, ensuring the perfect balance for each competition or training environment.
| Criterion | Acrylic / Hardcourt Flooring | Wooden Flooring (Indoor) | Tartan (PU+EPDM) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shock Absorption | Medium | Excellent | Good–Excellent |
| Foot Stability | Good | Excellent | Excellent (Adjustable) |
| Outdoor Suitability | Limited | Not Suitable | Good with UV Treatment |
| Maintenance | Low–Medium | High (Polishing/Buffing) | Medium |
| Installation Cost | Medium | High | Medium–High |
