Snooker room floor

[dan_trump]

Hi all

I have been asked to go and quote for a downstairs floor in a house where they would like to put a snooker table into it. I have been asked my advice on types of tiles to use! Does any one have any advice on types of tiles to use, could you use ceramic tiles but just make sure I use a solid bed trowel.

I would go as hard a biscuit as possible.. Vitrified tiles would be my choice.. and as you say no voids.

tile a floor in slate for a snooker table ,looks great , the slates were 900-900

Porcelain with no voids, car showrooms are tiled and cars are heavier than a snooker table, apart from fiat 500's or minis.

I thought the slate went under the green baize?

something in Blue perhaps.........

[nybor62]

what about terazzo

[garretridge]

as said above a good quality vitrified porcelain tile would be my choice as well!

should be carpet in a snooker room anyway........

Got a snooker place near me, as ajax says, carpet tiles on the floor

balls coming off the table would cause issues i would imagine on landing on tiles,,

[whitebeam]

That could be painful

[kilty55]

ooya thats made me cross eyed,,iv never had the pleasure of rapping my balls of a snooker table before,i was meaning the snooka balls beam lol

[doug boardley]

I'd have thought carpet too (sorry for deviating dan), just to deaden the impact noise.

I have never been in a snooker room that had hard floors. Could be the thing about ball damage or could be that on tiles your feet would start to ache waiting for the opponent to finish their break or could be too echoey or could be quite cold (perception I know)

I play lots of snooker in lots of different places too......

hard porcelain may even damage the balls on impact
