Panel-shaped element for floor coverings

The panel-shaped element is composed of a nonwoven (1), consisting of plastic fibres, and of a lower part (2) which is injected, in an injection mould for plastic, onto one side of the nonwoven (1), with the result that the nonwoven (1) and the lower part (2) are non-releasably connected to each other. The element is used as a covering for tennis courts, a plurality of elements being laid one against the other and being connected to one another. This results in a springy playing surface which produces good, isotropic bouncing of the ball and does not subject the locomotor system to stressing, and an acoustic improvement, in particular indoors, is also achieved. ...
