Leisure centres and sports facilities combine several distinct floor environments under one roof — pool surrounds and wet-side changing areas, dry sports halls, fitness studios, and public circulation spaces. Each zone has different requirements for slip resistance, drainage falls, moisture tolerance and durability, and the screed specification needs to be tailored accordingly.
Wet-side areas in particular call for careful attention to falls to drainage and compatibility with tanking and waterproofing systems, since standing water and heavy foot traffic in bare feet or pool shoes make robust, well-detailed floors especially important.
Dry sports halls and studios place different demands on the floor, often needing a flat, resilient base to support sprung timber floors or specialist sports surfaces, along with underfloor heating in some cases to maintain comfortable conditions for users.

Wet-side floor zones
Pool surrounds, wet changing rooms and shower areas need screed falls formed accurately to direct water to drainage points, working in conjunction with the waterproofing or tanking system specified for these areas. Getting the falls and detailing right at screed stage reduces the risk of standing water and finish problems later.
Dry sports and studio floors
Sports halls and studios typically sit over a flat, level screed base that supports a sprung floor system or a specialist sports surface. The screed's flatness and stability contribute to how well these overlying systems perform under sustained, high-impact use.
Leisure Centres & Sports Facilities — the points that decide it
- Different screed specifications for wet-side, dry-side and circulation zones
- Falls to drainage formed in pool surround and wet changing areas
- Coordination with tanking and waterproofing systems in wet environments
- Flat, resilient base suited to sports hall and studio floor build-ups
- Underfloor heating option for comfortable changing and studio areas
- Durable specification to withstand heavy, continuous public footfall
