One of the most visually striking and functionally innovative features of NB indoor sports wood flooring is the brand’s exclusive 95° high-gloss topcoat, a specially developed surface finish that was researched and created entirely in-house by NB’s own product development team. Unlike ordinary matte or low-gloss sports floor finishes that look dull and lifeless under arena lighting, this 95° high-gloss topcoat creates a bright, clear, reflective surface that showcases the natural beauty of the hardwood grain while giving the entire court a vibrant, professional appearance.

This high-gloss finish dramatically improves the visual experience for both players and spectators during competitions, making the court look bright and well-lit even in arenas with standard lighting setups, and creating stunning visual effects for televised games and live streaming events. But this topcoat is far more than just a pretty cosmetic feature: it is also engineered to deliver exceptional functional performance for sports use. The finish is extremely wear-resistant, standing up to thousands of hours of shoe traffic, rubber from athletic shoes, and occasional scuffs from moving equipment without losing its glossy appearance or developing unsightly dull spots. It also provides the perfectly calibrated level of friction that NB flooring is famous for, maintaining the ideal 0.4 to 0.6 friction coefficient across the entire life of the finish, so players never experience unexpected changes in grip as the floor ages. The topcoat also includes special anti-slip additives that prevent it from becoming slippery even when minor spills of water or sports drinks happen on the court, reducing the risk of accidental slips and falls during play. This exclusive NB technology combines stunning visual appeal with world-class functional performance, creating a sports floor that looks incredible and performs even better for many years after installation.
