Ensuring that gymnasiums and sports halls remain safe, attractive, and durable is a priority for facility managers. Dr. Schutz’s Sport Floor System offers a fast, cost-effective renovation solution that transforms worn-out surfaces without the mess and expense of full replacements.

The Challenge of Worn-Out Sports Floors

Heavy foot traffic, abrasive shoe soles, and residue from balls and equipment all take a toll on indoor sports floors. Over time, surfaces lose their non-slip properties, develop scratches and streaks, and become difficult to clean. This not only raises maintenance costs but also increases the risk of injuries for athletes.

Introducing the Sport Floor System

Dr. Schutz’s renovation process works directly on existing linoleum, PVC, cast-resin, or wood substrates—no tear-out required. In just a few days, the system restores surface integrity, refreshes colours, and renews line markings, all while keeping downtime to an absolute minimum.

5-Step Renovation Process

  1. Deep Cleaning
    A wet mechanical scrub removes handball resin, dirt, and stubborn residues to prepare the substrate for coating.
  2. Optional Repairs
    Deep scratches, open joints, and uneven areas are filled and sanded with the Prep & Repair System for a smooth base.
  3. Field Colour Application
    A water-based PU colour coat is applied across the entire floor. Custom logos and graphics can be embedded before curing.
  4. Precise Line Marking
    The Floor & Sports Liner tool ensures sharp, sport-specific lines in your chosen colours.
  5. Transparent Top Coat
    A permanent PU finish hermetically seals the surface, delivering high abrasion resistance, certified slip safety, and effortless maintenance.

Exceptional Performance & Durability

Dr. Schutz’s ultra-resistant coatings meet ISO 5470-1:1999 and ASTM D4060 abrasion standards, making them ideal for heavy-use environments. Permanent coatings simplify daily cleaning and cut energy, water, and chemical consumption by over 50%.

Sustainability at the Core

Renovating instead of replacing saves over 98% of CO₂ emissions compared to new installations and prevents more than 3 kg of waste per square metre from going to landfill. To fully offset the remaining 2% of emissions, Dr. Schutz supports regional reforestation projects—making each renovation completely carbon-neutral.

Certifications & Compliance

All Dr. Schutz Sport Floor coatings are rigorously tested and certified to:

  • DIN EN 18032 for safety in indoor sports halls
  • EN 14904 for shock absorption, ball bounce, and friction performance
  • ISO 5470-1:1999 / ASTM D4060 for abrasion resistance

These standards guarantee that renovated floors meet international safety and performance benchmarks.
