Introduction
A sports wood floor is more than just planks—it’s a complex system engineered for safety and performance.
Key Components
Surface Layer: Typically hard maple or oak for durability and aesthetics.
Subfloor: Plywood or OSB panels that distribute load and provide stability.
Underlayment: Rubber or foam pads for shock absorption and energy return.
Moisture Barrier: Prevents warping by blocking ground moisture.
Installation Methods
Fixed: Permanently attached to the subfloor.
Floating: Not anchored, allowing for expansion/contraction.
Portable: Modular systems for multi-use venues.
Conclusion
Each layer plays a critical role in ensuring athlete safety and floor longevity.
