Indoor Volleyball Court Flooring: Shock Absorption & Deflection Guide

Andiwilson approaches indoor volleyball court flooring as a load-management problem before a material selection. Volleyball’s repeated hard landings and multi-directional defensive movements place specific demands on the interaction between the wear surface and the elastic layer beneath it. The product range includes area-elastic timber systems built around northern hard maple or equivalent dense hardwood, with subfloor configurations that can be tuned toward higher shock absorption for training-heavy venues or toward firmer response for competition courts. Point-elastic synthetic options are also available where humidity control is limited or where the facility operates as a true multi-sport hall. What Andiwilson publishes is the system-level performance envelope: shock absorption, vertical deflection, ball rebound, and surface friction, each referenced to MFMA PUR or EN 14904 testing frameworks rather than asserted as a single headline number. The specification does not treat “volleyball flooring” as a label that any resilient sheet can claim. It defines which assembly is being supplied, which performance thresholds that assembly is expected to meet, and which site conditions—slab flatness, humidity range, and post-fixing method—the installation depends on. For buyers comparing a vinyl roll against a sprung timber system, that system-level disclosure is the basis for a meaningful comparison.
