The Role of Subflooring in Basketball Floor Systems

A proper subflooring system is vital for the performance and longevity of an indoor basketball wooden floor. The subfloor provides stability, supports the weight of players and equipment, and helps distribute the load evenly. Common subflooring materials include plywood or OSB (oriented strand board), which are installed over a concrete slab. A well-designed subflooring system ensures a flat, level playing surface and enhances the floor's ability to absorb shock and reduce noise.
