Sportaflor · Sample Service

Flooring
Samples.

Touch the material before you commit the project. We ship physical samples of PVC sports flooring, rubber flooring, PP tiles and commercial vinyl so you -- and your clients -- can verify colour, texture, thickness and quality before placing an order.

01

When to request a sample

Samples reduce project risk. Here are the five scenarios where a physical sample matters most -- for you, your client, or the approving consultant.

New Customer

First time working with Sportaflor? A sample lets you evaluate our material quality, colour accuracy and finish standard before committing to a commercial order.

Recommended for first orders

New Project

Each project has its own end-client expectations. A sample confirms the selected product and colour match the project brief before materials are ordered and shipped.

Per-project confirmation

New Product

Considering a product line you haven't stocked before -- a new rubber mat series, PP tiles, or a commercial vinyl range? A sample helps you understand the product before adding it to your catalogue.

Catalogue expansion

New Colour or Thickness

Switching to a different colour, pattern or thickness within a product you already know? A sample verifies the exact shade and feel match your expectations -- especially important for colour-sensitive projects.

Colour-critical

Consultant or Tender Approval

When a project involves an architect, sports consultant, facility manager or a formal tender process, a physical sample -- along with technical data and certifications -- is often required for official approval.

Official approval required

Existing Customer, Same Product

If you're reordering the same product, colour and specification you've already received and approved, a new sample is generally not required. Contact us directly to proceed.

Sample rules

Most standard samples are provided at no charge -- but not all samples are free. Here's what to expect.

Standard Samples

Typical small swatches from stock products

  • Sample cost: usually no charge

    Standard small swatches of in-stock products are typically provided at no cost. We will confirm before shipping.

  • Courier cost: customer's account

    International shipping is at the customer's cost. Please provide your FedEx, DHL or other courier account number when requesting.

  • Typical size: A4 to A3 swatch

    Standard samples are cut swatches, sufficient to evaluate colour, texture, thickness and surface quality.

  • Multiple products in one shipment

    We can consolidate multiple product samples into one courier shipment to reduce shipping cost.

Special Samples

Custom, large or non-standard requests

  • Sample fee may apply

    Special samples -- including custom colours, non-standard thicknesses, large-format pieces or new product developments -- may carry a sample charge. We will confirm cost and lead time before processing.

  • Longer lead time

    Special samples that require production or cutting to specification will have a longer lead time. We'll advise the timeline after reviewing your request.

  • Examples of special samples

    Custom-dyed colours, non-standard thickness, full-width cross-sections, specific pattern combinations, or samples for lab testing / official certification submission.
