The Impact of Material Quality on Indoor Sports Wood Flooring Pricing

Material quality is a primary determinant of indoor sports wood flooring pricing. High-grade maple, known for its density and uniform grain, commands a premium price due to its superior performance and longevity. Birch, while slightly softer, offers good value for money, providing adequate shock absorption and durability at a lower cost. Oak, though less common in sports flooring, can be a cost-effective option for areas with moderate use. The quality of the wood, including its grade (e.g., A, B, C), also affects pricing, with higher grades fetching higher prices. On average, material costs account for 60-70% of the total flooring expense.
