Pickleball has become one of the fastest-growing sports worldwide, enjoyed by players of all ages for its fast pace and social appeal. As the demand for dedicated pickleball courts increases, the choice of flooring has become a key factor in ensuring safety, performance, and long-term durability. Traditionally, most pickleball courts are built with acrylic hard courts or PVC sports flooring. While both have their own advantages, each also comes with certain limitations.
To address these challenges, a new hybrid solution has been introduced — pickleball court flooring that combines an acrylic coating with a PVC base layer,creating a surface that delivers both high performance and player protection.
In this blog, we will introduce this new product in detail and explain why it is a game-changer for modern pickleball facilities
Acrylic vs. PVC Sports Flooring for Pickleball
Acrylic flooring is widely used for outdoor pickleball courts due to its high surface hardness, fast ball speed, and suitability for competitive play. Its bright colors resist fading, and it offers low maintenance with a long service life, making it a durable choice for professional sports flooring. However, the rigid surface can put extra strain on players’ joints during long sessions, the installation requires a flat foundation and longer construction time, and it is not ideal for temporary or movable courts.
PVC flooring provides excellent comfort and shock absorption, protecting knees and ankles during fast-paced rallies. Its reliable slip resistance and simple roll-out installation make it a practical option for both indoor and multi-purpose pickleball courts. On the downside, the quality of PVC materials varies widely, and non-specialized PVC floors may have limited outdoor durability, making professional-grade PVC essential for long-lasting sports flooring.
The Rising star of Pickleball Courts – Acrylic + PVC Hybrid Flooring
This innovative sports flooring features a multi-layer construction, with an acrylic top layer over a supportive PVC base. The acrylic layer delivers a firm, high-speed playing surface with vibrant, fade-resistant colors, ideal for competitive pickleball courts. Beneath it, the PVC layer ensures cushioning, comfort, and reliable slip resistance, reducing stress on players’ joints while providing easy installation and maintenance. By combining these two layers, the hybrid design brings together performance, durability, and player safety in a single flooring solution, offering a next-generation pickleball court experience.
This new type of pickleball flooring can also be purchased on many platforms. However, due to the late appearance of this type of flooring, the production process of many acrylic PVC mixed floors is not perfect, which has led to many problems such as the acrylic layer falling off and the PVC layer being unstable.
