Why Fuji Super Blocks Are the Superior Choice for Sprung Floors

Creating a basic Sprung Floor requires careful consideration of the materials used for shock absorption and long-term durability. Pool Noodles are made from Polyethyleneare (PE foam) and are a so-called popular DIY alternative, they fall short compared to Fuji EVA Super Blocks, which are engineered for better performance in martial arts, gymnastics, and fitness flooring. Here’s why Fuji Super Blocks outperforms pool noodle foam in foam quality, longevity, and cost-effectiveness.

1. Foam Quality: EVA vs. PE Foam

PE (polyethylene) foam, used in pool noodles, is a low-cost, lightweight material primarily designed for flotation rather than load-bearing support. Over time, it compresses easily, reducing its ability to absorb impact effectively. In contrast, Fuji EVA Super Blocks are made from high-density EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) foam, which offers:

• Superior shock absorption to protect joints and reduce fatigue.

• Higher resilience, maintaining structural integrity over prolonged use.

• Consistent density, ensuring even support across the entire floor.

2. Longevity: Durability That Lasts

PE pool noodles degrade quickly under repeated pressure, meaning they need frequent replacement—adding to long-term costs and maintenance. Fuji EVA Super Blocks, however, are designed to last years without compression or deterioration, making them a reliable and durable investment for any training facility.

3. Cost-Effectiveness: Save Time & Money

While pool noodles may appear cheaper initially, the hidden costs of replacement and additional adhesives like silicone make them a less economical choice over time. Fuji Super Blocks offer better value with:

• Self-stick backing for easy and fast installation—no need for messy silicone or adhesives.

• Minimal maintenance, reducing replacement costs and downtime.

• Consistent performance, eliminating the need for ongoing adjustments or replacements.

4. Installation Speed: Self-Stick Convenience

One of the biggest advantages of Fuji EVA Super Blocks is the self-stick backing, allowing for quick and hassle-free installation. Unlike pool noodles, which require silicone or adhesives to secure in place, Fuji Super Blocks peel and stick directly onto the subfloor, saving both time and labour costs and $$$ on silicone.

Final Verdict: Invest in Fuji EVA Super Blocks

For anyone building a sprung floor—whether for martial arts, gymnastics, dance, or fitness training—Fuji EVA Super Blocks are the superior choice. They deliver better foam quality, enhanced longevity, and significant cost savings, all while making installation quicker and easier with their self-stick backing. Avoid the pitfalls of using pool noodles and invest in the best foam technology for a durable, high-performance sprung floor.
