Slipping accidents on sports floors are one of the leading causes of preventable sports injuries, which is why Naibu invests heavily in rigorous anti-slip performance testing for every batch of its modular sports wood flooring.
Naibu’s R&D team conducts hundreds of friction tests under different real-world conditions, including dry surfaces, slightly damp surfaces, and surfaces with small amounts of dust or sweat, to ensure the flooring maintains safe traction in every possible usage scenario. The brand’s specialized matte surface treatment creates a micro-texture on the wood that grips the soles of sports shoes without catching, so athletes never experience the dangerous moment when their foot slides out unexpectedly during a critical movement. Independent third-party testing has confirmed that Naibu modular sports wood flooring achieves a friction coefficient of 0.62, which falls exactly within the FIBA recommended safety range for competitive sports surfaces, far outperforming many ordinary wood flooring products that are either too slippery or have excessive friction that causes foot drag.
