Sports flooring is a critical element that directly affects both the quality of the sporting activity and the health of the athlete. Correctly designed floor coating systems increase athletes' performance while reducing the risk of injury to a minimum.
Sports floors play an important part in the interaction between the floor and the shoe in terms of athlete health. Choosing the wrong floor can cause injuries to muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones and cartilage. In addition, high frictional resistance in the playing surface can increase the risk of injury, particularly to joints and ligaments. For this reason the coefficient of friction of a sports floor must be designed specifically for athletes' agility and reaction times.
Soft sports floors protect against chronic use problems while also offering an effective solution for preventing acute injuries caused by falls.
Suitability for Athlete Health: Protects muscles, tendons and joints and reduces the risk of injury. High Performance: Offers floor properties that support athletes' rapid movement and reactions. Shock-Absorbing Surface: Provides protection against falls and minimises impact. Optimum Coefficient of Friction: Provides balance in activities requiring rapid movement. Wide Range of Use: Can be adapted for different sports such as basketball, tennis and volleyball.By bringing together quality and expertise in sports flooring solutions, Likit İzolasyon provides floors that both support athletes' health and deliver superior performance.

Indoor sports halls — basketball, volleyball, handball and badminton courts School sports halls and multi-purpose event spaces Fitness centres and free-weight areas Outdoor basketball, tennis and five-a-side pitch surfaces Children's playgrounds — shock-absorbing safety surfacesThese are systems in which a polyurethane coating is applied over an elastic base layer. The shock absorption, ball rebound and friction values directly affect the joint health of the athlete. The thickness and the structure of the elastic base are designed according to the target performance class.
These are systems in which SBR or EPDM granules are bound together with a polyurethane binder. Because they provide high shock absorption, they are preferred in playgrounds, running tracks and fitness areas.
These are acrylic systems applied over concrete or asphalt. Shock absorption is low, but durability and ease of maintenance are high; they are common on outdoor courts.
1. Substrate preparation: The flatness, moisture content and strength of the concrete or asphalt surface are measured. Flatness tolerances are tighter on sports floors than in other applications. 2. Moisture barrier: Where necessary, a moisture-barrier primer is applied to prevent moisture rising from below and damaging the coating. 3. Elastic base layer: A granulate or poured elastic layer is laid to provide shock absorption. The thickness is determined according to the target performance class. 4. Wearing layer: A polyurethane or acrylic top coat is applied to give the surface its properties; friction and ball rebound are adjusted by means of this layer. 5. Line marking and handover: Lines are applied according to the dimensions of each sport. On multi-purpose courts the different sports are distinguished by colour coding. The performance requirements for indoor sports floors are defined in TS EN 14904 ; shock absorption, ball rebound and slip resistance are measurable parameters. For outdoor synthetic sports surfaces, reference can be made to EN 14877 . Floors with inadequate shock absorption increase the risk of joint and back injuries in athletes; the base layer should therefore not be thinned down for the sake of economy. Moisture in the substrate is the most common cause of failure in sports floors; moisture measurement must not be skipped.In jump-intensive sports such as basketball and volleyball, the balance between shock absorption and ball rebound comes to the fore; polyurethane sports floors are suitable. In fitness and free-weight areas, where impact absorption is the priority, thick rubber granule systems are preferred.
The lines are distinguished by colour coding. The lines of the main sport are applied in the most prominent colour and the others in paler tones. The choice of colours is decided at the planning stage in order to avoid confusion during play.
Because dust and sand abrade the surface like sandpaper, regular sweeping and damp cleaning are the most important maintenance. Cleaners with a suitable pH should be used and harsh chemicals avoided. Stiletto heels and the dragging of heavy equipment should be prevented.
If the parquet is sound and not hollow-sounding, a synthetic system can be applied over it with a suitable primer. However, if there is movement or moisture between the parquet and the substrate, these problems must be dealt with first; otherwise the new covering will deform within a short time.
Likit İzolasyon exceeded our expectations with their waterproofing and floor coating services. Thanks to their meticulous workmanship and on-time delivery, our building is now far safer and more durable.
During our building strengthening works we saw the difference of working with a professional team. With carbon fibre and concrete repair applications they gave our structure a new life. I would definitely recommend them!
We used their epoxy floor coating service and the result is incredible! We gained both an attractive appearance and a long-lasting, durable solution. I appreciate their professional approach.
We received terrace and foundation waterproofing services. With their polyurethane-based solutions in particular, they provided a permanent answer to water leaks. The team's professionalism and on-time delivery are truly commendable.
Concrete cracks and deterioration in our old building were causing serious problems. The Likit İzolasyon team made the structure safe again with concrete repair and protection. They kept us informed in detail at every stage of the process.
They did outstanding work on car park line marking and industrial painting projects. With thermoplastic paint they delivered a solution that is both attractive and long-lasting. The importance they place on occupational safety is a further plus!
We had epoxy and polyurethane floor coating applied in our factory. Our spaces gained both a durable and an attractive appearance. They are also very easy to clean. Thank you to the professional team!
We worked with Likit İzolasyon on building strengthening. Thanks to the carbon fibre application our structure became earthquake resistant. Their transparent and meticulous work from start to finish gave us confidence.
The concrete crack repair service completely solved the problems in our old building. Even the finest details were attended to during the work. We now have a structure we can use safely for many years.
