Tony commercial products are totally different to domestic products most are pure vinyl and 2 mm thick and self coloured through out. there are so many specialist product and even specific products are made for stage with special light reflective and other  qualities and operating theatres and where ever. If this product has "give" in it, it could well be a specific sports floor product which has a cushioning layer beneath the 2mm thick vinyl. this is a much denser material than the foam used in cushion floor and is designed amongst other thing to relieve stress on the joints as well as for sound and heat insulation. Sports floor products have a pure vinyl surface.

Yes I assumed that Peter as this is totally different to the vinyls I am used to ,and being a gymnasium thought it would be far more specialized and didnt think for one min gyms had vinyl floors ,hence me seeking advice .Many thanks mate .
This is one of those situations where you are reluctant to do the job as it is out of your comfort zone ,but feel you should do it for experience ,and because you do a lot of work for the school and certainly dont want to lose out to another company who could come in and take your existing work because the school wants it all under one roof so to speak .

could be any one of a large number of products made by a large number of manufacturers. Even somebody who has 30 years experience in contract flooring is unable to identify one manufacturers products from another by sight.
