Sports wood flooring is very important in sports venues, and its material selection is directly related to performance and user experience.
The panel is the part that directly contacts the user, and high-quality hardwood is mostly used. Maple is a popular panel material. It is a long-fiber tree species with good toughness and moderate hardness. In the scene of competition and TV broadcast, maple panels present the best viewing effect. Most stadiums in the world use maple panels. Common specifications include thickness of 20mm, 26mm, width of 38mm, 57mm, etc. Domestic boards are mostly 22mm thick and have grooves and flanges. This design can enhance the connection stability between panels. The elastic cushion layer is the key part to provide shock absorption performance. The materials are diverse, such as PU, rubber, recycled rubber, PVC, etc. Different materials have their own characteristics in shock absorption effect and durability, which can meet the needs of different venues. The load-bearing layer is usually made of single or double keels, and generally needs to be treated with preservatives to enhance its durability. The keel spacing is usually set to 400mm.
The stabilizing layer is usually made of large-format panels, such as OSB boards and plywood, with sizes of 1.22×2.44m and a thickness of more than 12mm. They can provide stable support for the entire floor system and ensure that the floor is not easily deformed during long-term use. The moisture-proof layer generally uses PE geotextile moisture-proof film to effectively block the rise of ground moisture, prevent the floor from being deformed by moisture, and extend the service life. These materials perform their respective functions and together constitute a high-performance sports wood floor system.
