Basketball is unforgiving on a floor: constant sprinting, hard stops and a ball that has to bounce true on every board. Courtship Flooring installs basketball court flooring across the UK, from school courts to performance halls, in solid maple and other timber systems as well as engineered and synthetic surfaces, always over the sprung sub-floor that protects players\’ joints.
We covered why elite halls favour maple in our piece on timber choices for basketball halls, and every court we fit is finished with accurate line markings and a slip test on request. Whether you need a new court or a tired one refurbished, we will give you a straight answer and a fair price.
We offer both solid and engineered wood basketball courts in beech, oak, maple and ash, depending on your desire for finish and tone. We also have a range of varnishes including gloss, matt, and silk for your complete convenience. All of our suppliers are industry leading sports flooring manufacturers, so we can guarantee a quality product. Our contractors also provide in-depth floor inspections to make sure every floor maintains optimal performance and safety conditions.
Player safety is paramount in every basketball game, that’s why our floors are all made with that goal in mind. Shock absorption causes direct impact to spread across the surface, preventing damages occurring. Sophisticated sprung systems protect players from injury, softening landings when falls happen. Combining these elements with slip resistance testing means that each person on the court is therefore safer, allowing for the game to play on.
Over time, sports flooring can wear, losing its durability, so annual inspections are encouraged to ensure high standards are maintained. This also allows for any signs of damage to be addressed and rectified before major problems occur. Thus, increasing your court’s lifespan.
You should sweep and mop your floor at least weekly as standard, but deeper cleans such as scrub and reseal and sand and reseal services should also be carried out every few years. We are happy to perform these routine maintenance tasks for you, so just call us today to learn more.
Yes, if you already have a court floor, our team can provide a thorough examination of it and either repair or refurbish it based on our findings, improving its longevity.
