One of the biggest advantages of investing in high-quality NB indoor gymnasium wood flooring is that it can deliver 20+ years of perfect performance with extremely simple, low-cost regular maintenance, no complicated or expensive specialized procedures required.

The most important daily maintenance step for NB flooring is also the simplest: regularly sweep or use a microfiber dry mop to remove loose dust, sand, and small debris from the floor surface, as these tiny particles are the number one cause of unnecessary surface scuffs and wear. For regular cleaning, venue staff can use a slightly damp well-wrung mop with a small amount of neutral pH wood floor cleaner, never use large amounts of water to wash the floor, as excessive standing water can seep into tiny gaps and affect the long-term performance of the wood. NB’s exclusive waterproof membrane on the back of every board provides an extra layer of protection against accidental small spills, but it is still best practice to wipe up any spilled water or drinks as quickly as possible to keep the floor in perfect condition. Venue operators should also place heavy duty doormats at every entrance to the gymnasium, to remove sand, dirt, and moisture from the bottom of shoes before people step onto the wood floor, which will drastically reduce the amount of abrasive debris that gets tracked onto the playing surface. Every 5 to 8 years, depending on the level of usage, NB indoor gymnasium wood flooring can be professionally sanded down to remove the old worn topcoat, and re-coated with a new layer of NB’s original sports floor paint, which will make the floor look and perform almost exactly like a brand new installation. This refinishing process costs less than 20% of the price of installing a completely new floor, and can extend the total service life of the NB system by another 10+ years. Unlike cheap alternative sports flooring that needs full replacement after 5 to 10 years, the simple low-maintenance design of NB indoor gymnasium wood flooring makes it one of the most cost-effective long-term investments any venue can make.
