The SportGrounds range offers a variety of surfaces for indoor

sports facilities characterised by:

a) heterogeneous, multilayer, non-delaminable structure that

satisfies high shock-absorption standards;

b) energy restitution and playability;

c) high-density surface that guarantees resistance and long-

term durability;

d) fibreglass reinforcement that allows optimal dimensional

stability;

e) Excellent athletic performance under maximum safety

conditions;

f) sanalim antibacterial treatment ensures considerable and

permanent hygienic conditions;

g) quick and simple maintenance.

The installation of SportGrounds products is carried out on level,

uniform, and dry sub-bases. The rolls must be placed in their

final position at least 24 hours before the installation and the

perfection of the seams between the sheets must be controlled.

The environmental temperature must not be below 15°C.

The installation method may differ according to the product:

1) Glued installation: glue is selected according to the nature

and conditions of the sub-base. In the presence of absorbent

sub-bases, an acrylic glue may be used, while for installations

on non-absorbent sub-bases, a bicomponent polyurethane

glue must be used. The seams must be hot-welded with

PVC rod or cold-welded with specific chemical bonding

agents;

2) Loose laid installation: the flooring is simply laid onto the sub-

base with a single hot-welding of the seams with PVC rod or

a cold chemical bonding agent. It is necessary to fix with glue

the entire perimeter of the gym.

The tracing of playing lines must be done with a

bicomponent polyurethane paint made specifically for

surfaces in PVC.

Required maintenance is simple and quick: washing the

surface with a small quantity of water with some neutral

detergent should suffice.

The operation may be carried out manually or with a

single-brush machine. The quality of SportGrounds

products is recognised by leading international federations.

Underlay is a waterproofing-stablizing support made in closed-cell PVC with the insertion of special

fibreglass that increases its dimensional stability. The backing presents reliefs that allow air to circulate

due to their particular shape and position. Underlay offers a noticeable improvement in soundproofing,

effective thermal insulation that reduces heat loss, excellent resilience that improves shock absorption

and energy restitution, making it more comfortable to walk on and, where sports are concerned,

increasing athletic performance. Underlay is also used in cases where existing floor must remain intact.

Underlay is tested and guaranteed when combined with our floorings.

The Italian Basketball Federation establishes specific regulations in terms of dimensions for the

construction of regulation courts.

The court must be 29 metres long and 15 metres wide, measured from the inside edge of the

boundary line.

The distance between the end line, 5 cm wide, and the spectators must be at least 2 metres.

The centre circle has a radius of 1.80 m and must be traced in the centre of the court.

A central line must be traced parallel to the end line in such a way as to connect the central points of

the side lines. This line will be extended outside the court by 15 cm on each side.

The 3-point field goal areas are marked on the court by lines that form two semicircles with a radius of

6.25 metres, including the outside boundary, and having the centre point of the ground directly

perpendicular to the exact centre of the basket. The semicircles are extended with parallel lines along

the side lines until they reach the corresponding end lines. The centre of the semicircles must be

located at a distance of 1,575 metres from the end line, this measurement having been taken from the

inside edge of this line.

The 3-second zone is marked on the court by the end line, by the free throw line, and by the two

straight lines that begin at the end line by two points 3 metres from the centre point for the end line itself

and that intersect the free throw line in two points that are both 1.8 metres from the centre point of the

free throw line. The free throw line includes the 3-second zone and a arc with its centre in the centre

point of free throw line and a radius of 1.8 metres.

The court measures 18 metres by 9 metres and is surrounded by a free zone which is a minimum of 3

m wide on all sides. If the free zone is not already naturally marked, it must be marked with barriers or

advertising panels or billboards.

For official international competitions like the Olympics and the World Championships, the free zone will

be 5 metres beyond the side lines and 8 metres beyond the end lines. The free zone must not present

obstacles that are not playing equipment.

The perimeter lines must be a colour that contrasts with the playing field and 5 cm wide, including the

court dimensions. If there are other lines on the court they must be of a colour that contrasts clearly

with the background colour.

For official international competitions it is necessary that the lines be white and that the playing field and

the free zone be of different colours.

The boundary lines are: 18 metres long for side lines and 9 metres long for end lines. A centre line

separates the court into two equal field that measure 9 metres and ends in correspondence to the side

lines. The attack lines are parallel and traced 3 metres from the centre line.

The attack lines are extended beyond the side lines with 5 equal lines. The auxiliary lines mark the

playing field and are 15 cm long and traced at a distance of 20 cm from the end lines of the court,

perpendicular to the end lines and on the extension of the side lines. The playing field is bounded by the

auxiliary lines.
