PVC flooring: Basketball Court Flooring Indoor made of highly elastic PVC composite material, price 12-35/㎡, suitable for training halls and schools, need DIN 51130 R10 anti-slip certification.
Rubber flooring: environmentally friendly rubber granules, price 20-40/㎡, mostly used in multi-purpose venues, requires FloorScore™ low VOC certification.

Thickness and Structure
Race grade (8mm): contains 3.5mm foam layer, shock absorption rate of 65%, the cost is 40% higher than 6mm training grade.
Economy grade (4.5mm): suitable for community venues, price as low as 8-15/㎡, but vibration damping only 45%.

③ Installation method
Suspended assembling system: modular design (such as Changsha Mylar PE-XFPZ), installation fee 3-5/㎡, can save 30% labor.
Fixed wood flooring: steel rails and shock-absorbing pads are required, installation fee 10-20/㎡, total cost increases by 50%.

3. 4 Strategies for Cost Reduction
① Choose modular system
The modular system (e.g. Changsha Meile PE-XFPZ) supports DIY installation, which saves 30% of labor cost, and the single piece can be replaced if damaged, so the maintenance cost is as low as $0.5/㎡/year.

Bulk Purchase and Regional Warehousing
Order more than 500 square meters can get 15% discount, and use regional warehouses (e.g. California warehouse) to reduce logistics time and tariffs.

③ Simplified surface treatment
Paintless prefabricated PVC flooring (matte anti-glare) saves 8-12/㎡ compared to on-site painted wood flooring.

④ Apply for government subsidies
Some countries in Europe and America provide 10-20% subsidies for environmentally friendly materials (e.g. FloorScore™ certified) for school/community venues.

4. Hidden Costs and Pit Avoidance Guide
Foundation treatment: Cement floors need moisture-proof primer at a cost of 2-4/㎡, otherwise it may cause the floor to warp.
Certification verification: Require suppliers to provide FIBA/NBA lab reports (e.g. rebound height, shock absorption rate) to avoid low-quality materials.
Warranty terms: Choose a 10+ year structural warranty to cover cracking and warping issues (e.g. MONDO’s 15 year warranty).
