Indoor multi-sport halls do not serve a single movement pattern. Instead, they must accommodate:
- ball rebound and directional movement for football and basketball
- lighter footwork and rotational movement for badminton and volleyball
- repetitive daily use from schools, clubs, and community users
- temporary non-sport activity loads such as events or group sessions
- closed-environment health requirements, including low odor and low airborne dust
- noise management, especially in multi-zone indoor facilities
This makes surface selection more complex than for a single-purpose sports field. The ideal indoor surface must combine:
- controlled cushioning
- adequate support
- consistent traction
- good ball response
- acoustic moderation
- indoor-safe emissions
- simple cleaning and low operational burden
Vivaturf’s non-infill turf is designed around this multi-variable indoor requirement.
Core Technical Principle for Indoor Use
Vivaturf addresses indoor arena demands through a three-part technical system:
A. Anti-static, stain-resistant yarn technology
The yarn system uses anti-static and hydrophobic modified polymers to reduce dust attraction in enclosed indoor environments. This helps maintain cleaner surface conditions and reduces the visual and hygienic issues associated with static dust accumulation.
The fiber layout adopts a 7:3 straight-and-curled yarn matrix:
- 70% higher-modulus straight yarns provide structural support for high-intensity movements such as basketball cuts, football acceleration, and repeated push-off.
- 30% resilient curled yarns provide additional cushioning and comfort for lower-intensity movement patterns and general-purpose activity use.
B. Multi-layer backing with acoustic shock attenuation
The backing system includes a closed-cell PE cushioning layer configured not only for impact reduction but also for noise attenuation. By optimizing the cellular structure of the shockpad, the system helps absorb:
- footfall noise
- impact sound from jumps and landings
- ball strike and bounce noise
This is particularly valuable in enclosed sports halls where sound reflection and cross-zone disturbance can affect user experience.
C. Thermal fusion instead of conventional adhesive dependency
Vivaturf uses a glue-free or low-adhesive thermal bonding logic to minimize the risk of long-term adhesive odor and volatile emissions in indoor environments. This also improves structural stability by reducing the chance of adhesive degradation over time.
