Among modern sports facilities, indoor basketball courts have become the preferred place for more and more people to do physical exercise and entertainment. However, a high-quality indoor basketball court requires not only a reasonable design and layout, but also the selection of suitable floor materials. So, what kind of materials are generally made of the floor of indoor basketball courts?This article will introduce it to you in detail.
1.Wooden floors.
Wood flooring is one of the most common flooring materials for indoor basketball courts. It has good elasticity and impact resistance, which can effectively protect the joints of athletes. At the same time, the surface of the wooden floor is smooth, which is conducive to the movement and braking of athletes. In addition, the wood floors are rich in colors that can create a warm and sporty atmosphere. However, the disadvantage of wood flooring is that it is susceptible to moisture, deformation, and wear and tear, and requires regular maintenance and replacement.
2.synthetic flooring.
Synthetic flooring is a new type of indoor basketball court floor material, mainly including PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and PU (polyurethane) and so on. This type of flooring has good abrasion resistance, impact resistance and slip resistance, which can effectively reduce the risk of injury during sports. At the same time, synthetic flooring is relatively simple to install and maintain, and has a long service life. However, synthetic flooring is slightly less elastic than wood flooring and can cause some stress on the joints of athletes.
3.Floating assembled flooring.
Floating assembled floor is a new type of floor material suitable for indoor basketball courts, mainly made of polypropylene material. It has good elasticity and impact resistance, which can effectively protect the joints of athletes. At the same time, the suspended assembled floor adopts a modular design, which is easy to install and can be flexibly spliced according to the needs of the site. In addition, the floating assembled floor has excellent drainage performance, which can effectively prevent water accumulation in the site. However, the high level of floating modular flooring may not be suitable for venues on a budget.
4.rubber flooring.
Rubber flooring is a more traditional indoor basketball court floor material, which has good elasticity and impact resistance. The surface friction of rubber flooring is high, which is conducive to the movement and braking of athletes. At the same time, the rubber floor has good waterproof performance and is not easy to be deformed by moisture. However, rubber flooring is less resistant to abrasion and may appear to wear and crack after a period of use. Therefore, rubber flooring needs to be maintained and replaced regularly.
To sum up, the choice of indoor basketball court floor materials should be considered comprehensively according to the actual needs and budget of the venue. Regardless of the type of floor material you choose, you should ensure that it has good elasticity, impact resistance, and slip resistance to ensure the safety and comfort of the athlete. At the same time, the installation and maintenance of floor materials is also an important factor affecting the service life and movement effect of the site, which cannot be ignored.
