Moisture content is a critical factor in the performance and longevity of indoor basketball court wood flooring. Wood is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs and releases moisture based on the surrounding environment. If the moisture content is too high, the wood can swell, warp, or cup, leading to an uneven playing surface and potential safety hazards.
Conversely, if the moisture content is too low, the wood can become brittle and prone to cracking. Manufacturers typically acclimate their floors to the expected indoor conditions before installation and recommend maintaining a consistent humidity level to prevent moisture-related issues.
