NB did not become the most trusted name in basketball wood flooring overnight. The brand’s story started over 40 years ago, when a group of former college basketball players and woodworking engineers got together with a simple goal: build a better indoor basketball court surface, because they were tired of seeing their teammates get injured on poorly made floors. In the early years, NB spent thousands of hours testing different wood species, base layer designs, and finish formulas in small gyms and local community centers, refining their design based on direct feedback from players and coaches.

As word spread about how much better NB basketball wood flooring performed than other options on the market, more and more high schools, colleges, and eventually professional arenas started making the switch. Over the decades, NB has continued to innovate, patenting new shock absorption systems, developing more eco-friendly finishes, and perfecting their installation techniques. Today, NB is not just a flooring brand—it is a part of basketball history, with courts that have hosted some of the most famous and memorable moments in the sport’s entire timeline.
