Thousands of indoor basketball gyms across China that were built 10 or more years ago now have floors that are completely worn out, warped, slippery, and unsafe to play on. For a long time, the only option for these old venues was to completely demolish the old floor and rebuild from scratch, a process that cost a fortune and forced the gym to close down for more than a month, losing huge amounts of revenue. NB Brand Basketball Court Wood Flooring’s specialized old-venue renovation program solves this problem, letting old gyms upgrade their performance in as little as 7 days, at a far lower total cost.

When NB’s technical team arrives at an old venue, they first run a full structural inspection of the existing subfloor. In more than 70% of old venues, the original concrete base is still perfectly flat and structurally sound, so there is no need for full demolition. The team simply removes the old worn-out top planks, inspects and adjusts the existing keel structure, and then installs the new NB Brand Basketball Court Wood Flooring directly on top of the existing base. This cuts the total renovation time down from 30+ days to just 7-10 days, meaning the gym can reopen almost immediately, with barely any lost revenue.

Gym owners who have gone through this renovation process consistently say that the difference is night and day. One 12-year-old gym in Changsha reported that after their NB renovation, their membership sign-ups jumped 70% in the first month after reopening. Long-time members who had stopped coming because the old floor was too slippery and dangerous all came back, and the gym was able to raise its hourly court rates by 25% without losing any customers. For old venues that were on the edge of shutting down because their facilities were too outdated to compete, an NB floor renovation is often the investment that turns their whole business around.
