Shandong Kindergarten Basketball Court Suspended Modular Flooring Manufacturer brings you to understand suspended flooring:
Suspended flooring originated in the United States in 1974. As the name suggests, its main features are "suspended" and "modular." Initially, it entered people's lives as a building material for leisure venues. Later, with its widespread application and love for sports, people hoped this material could also be used in sports venues. After relentless efforts by experts in areas such as product design and material formulation, the performance of the product finally meets the requirements for sports. It is widely used in Europe and the United States, with approximately 100,000 courts using this flooring, and it has collaborated with the NBA for 30 years. Due to its easy installation and excellent performance, many NBA players' private training courts use this flooring.
In 2002, the modular flooring from SportCourt in the United States entered China with a noble status and has been laid in many sports venues domestically. However, its high price still kept many fans at bay. With the continuous improvement of domestic industrial levels, domestic manufacturers have begun producing this flooring. While occupying the market at a lower price, the product quality is also continuously improving and breaking through.
Suspended flooring, also known as modular sports flooring, is the surface layer material of the fourth generation of sports flooring. The finished product is block-shaped, with specifications of 25cm x 25cm x 1.3cm, which can be directly laid on a cement or asphalt foundation surface without the need for adhesives. Each block is connected using a unique locking mechanism, making installation very simple and allowing for easy disassembly.
Suspended flooring is made of mature high-strength polypropylene eco-friendly materials, effectively solving the problem of thermal expansion and contraction while providing stable surface friction. UV-resistant additives are added to each block, ensuring the flooring does not fade under long-term sunlight exposure. The structural design of the suspended flooring, along with a sturdy reinforced support foot structure, creates excellent vertical shock absorption. The anti-slip surface effectively prevents sports injuries, and good ball rebound performance and ball speed ensure the flooring's outstanding sports performance. It can be used to lay ideal high-performance basketball courts, tennis courts, five-a-side soccer fields, volleyball courts, badminton courts, and other multifunctional courts.
Suspended flooring performance
1. Multifunctionality:
It can be used on basketball courts, tennis courts, volleyball courts, badminton courts, table tennis courts, indoor soccer fields, handball courts, gym floors, kindergarten floors, plaza surfaces, parks, and senior activity areas, requiring only a flat cement or asphalt surface for installation;
2. Convenience:
Suspended flooring features a snap-lock structure design for quick installation and simple maintenance. During installation, the flooring blocks interlock with male and female connectors, and to ensure a tight fit between adjacent blocks, a rubber mallet can be used to tap the seams during installation. No glue or nails are required, and the suspended flooring can usually be installed or removed in less than three hours by fewer than four people. Regular maintenance outdoors requires only rinsing with water, while indoor use can be cleaned with a mop, resulting in very low maintenance costs;
3. Environmental protection:
Suspended flooring is primarily made of eco-friendly polypropylene (PP), which is non-toxic, odorless, waterproof, moisture-resistant, bacteria-resistant, and environmentally friendly. PP material is food-grade, ensuring safety and hygiene;
4. Health benefits:
Suspended flooring features a unique patented design (supported by support columns, arched drainage channels, and male-female connectors at the edges), effectively achieving vertical shock absorption and energy return, providing lateral cushioning to prevent sprains and other sports injuries, effectively protecting the spine's health, and ensuring the healthy growth of youth bones;
5. Comfort:
The abrasion-resistant layer design of the suspended flooring keeps shoe soles in contact with the ground, providing slip resistance and the ability to transmit strong sports power. The surface of the flooring is specially treated to match the brightness of lighting, preventing glare and protecting athletes' eyes from fatigue. It has low heat reflection, does not absorb sweat, is moisture-resistant, and does not produce lingering odors;
6. Durability:
The raw material used in this product, polypropylene (PP), is a high-strength material. Modified polypropylene with UV resistance, oxidation resistance, and cold resistance is added, giving the product advantages such as pressure resistance, impact resistance, resistance to high and low temperatures, and a long service life. It has excellent weather resistance, is not afraid of sun exposure, rain and humidity, snow and cold, and does not warp or peel. There are no geographic or climatic restrictions, and the surface does not accumulate water after rain.
7. Outstanding sports performance:
The ball rebound rate reaches 95%, and the sliding friction coefficient is 0.52 (data sourced from the National Sports Goods Quality Supervision and Inspection Report);
8. Usage limitations:
All-weather, with no geographic or climatic restrictions, suspended flooring can be used both indoors and outdoors;
9. High cost-performance ratio:
Currently, suspended modular sports flooring has a high cost-performance ratio among similar products. Using this product requires little (essentially no need to redo the foundation), low maintenance costs, and a high standard (more than 50 NBA private training venues have adopted this type of flooring, with Michael Jordan having laid 6 such courts). Quick results (the court can be used two hours after laying and lining) make it an ideal choice for various sports venues. Initial construction costs + zero maintenance costs (only rinsing with clean water is required, with no negative effects), with a service life of up to 8 years, remaining colorfast and shape-stable. The court line paint uses a special paint for polypropylene surfaces that does not peel off;
10. Excellent mobility:
Suspended flooring can be disassembled and reassembled multiple times, which can well meet the requirements for hosting large-scale competitions. Contact number: 15689694361 Manager Cheng
