Badminton flooring need to be precisely sized to facilitate the selection of the users who need them, ensure the safety and performance of the venue, and comply with international standards such as the BWF (Badminton World Federation).

Dongxing Plastics provides an explanatory guide to this issue: including a breakdown of key parameters such as membrane size, surface texture, total thickness and pitch line markings to help you choose the perfect flooring solution.

1. Core Specifications of Badminton Court Floor

Standard Roll Sizes & Dimensions

Single Roll Width: 1.8m or 1.42m (flexible for custom layouts)

Roll Length: 15m (ensures minimal seams in professional courts)

Total Floor Area:

Option 1: 15m x 7.1m = 106.5㎡

Option 2: 15m x 7.2m = 108㎡ (ideal for tournaments)

Pro Tip: For smaller spaces (e.g., home courts), use modular PVC flooring with the same thickness but customizable sizing.

Surface Texture Options & Performance
The texture directly impacts grip and shuttlecock bounce consistency:

Litchi Grain: High friction for anti-slip safety (indoor/outdoor).

Jewel Grain: Balanced grip for professional tournaments.

Crystal Sand Grain: Enhanced durability for high-traffic clubs.

Why It Matters: BWF-certified textures reduce injury risks and ensure fair play.
Thickness & Shock Absorption

Total Thickness: 4.5mm (standard for amateur and pro courts).

Layer Structure:

2mm (Wear-resistant top layer)

2.5mm (Shock-absorbing foam base)

Key Benefit: 4.5mm flooring provides 53%-65% force reduction, protecting joints during lunges.

2. BWF-Approved Court Markings & Layout

Total Floor vs. Line Dimensions

Playing Area (Lines): 13.4m (length) x 6.1m (width)

Total Floor Size: 15m x 7.1m/7.2m (includes buffer zones)

Badminton Court Flooring Dimensions

Note: Use heat-welded seams to prevent tripping and ensure line accuracy.

3. Choosing the Right Flooring: 3 Key Factors

Factor 1: Indoor vs. Outdoor Use

Indoor: Prioritize BWF-certified PVC rolls (1.8m width).

Outdoor: Opt for UV-resistant textures like Crystal Sand Grain.

Factor 2: Installation Type

Full Roll Installation: Best for 15m x 7m professional courts.

Modular Tiles: Ideal for DIY home courts (easy replacement).

Factor 3: Budget & Maintenance

Economical Choice: 4.5mm PVC rolls (¥80–¥120/㎡).

Premium Choice: Hybrid PU layers (¥150+/㎡) for elite clubs.

4. FAQs About Badminton Flooring Specs

Q1: Can I use 8mm thick flooring for better cushioning?
No – BWF prohibits thickness over 5mm to maintain shuttlecock bounce accuracy.

Q2: How to verify anti-slip compliance?
Check for DIN 51130 certification (R9–R11 slip resistance rating).

Q3: Is 1.42m roll width suitable for home courts?
Yes! Narrower rolls reduce waste in compact spaces.
