Basketball wood floor selection and installation involve several important details. Basketball wood floors are highly sought after for their excellent load-bearing performance, high shock absorption, and resistance to deformation, despite the relatively higher maintenance requirements. As basketball court wood floors are crucial to the overall functionality of a basketball venue, it is essential for project contractors and owners to pay special attention to the selection and installation process.

Selecting Basketball Wood Floors to Prevent Insect Infestation

Typically, wood floors are ready for the market after undergoing high-pressure drying, shaping, and painting processes, which usually eliminate any tree insects present in the wood. When choosing basketball wood floors, it is advisable to select hard wood species with minimal deformation and to check for insect holes, mold spots, scars, and ensure that the moisture content meets national standards (approximately 8% to 13%).

Using Insecticides for Prevention

After leveling the ground with wooden joists, it’s a good practice to sprinkle some specialized insecticides to effectively prevent the growth of pests like mites. This step also helps to facilitate the dissipation of moisture from the original ground, preventing issues like warping and bubbling that could affect the normal use of the wood floor.

Ensuring Ventilation for the Basketball Venue

The floors should be brought to the site before construction and placed in a well-ventilated area to allow for airing. This step serves to release the paint odor from the wood floors and reduce issues like moisture due to weather, which could lead to deformation, warping, or increased in the future.

Applying Lacquer to the Basketball Court Wood Floors

Remember to apply floor lacquer after the wood floors are laid. This process can effectively extend the lifespan of the wood floors, as well as release any residual moisture from the installation process, and improve aesthetics.

As the saying goes, “details determine success,” both the selection and installation of basketball gym wood floors require meticulous attention to detail.
