Humidity can have a significant impact on indoor basketball court flooring. High humidity can cause the wood to swell, leading to warping, cupping, or buckling.

Low humidity, on the other hand, can cause the wood to shrink, resulting in gaps between planks and a less stable surface. To mitigate these issues, it’s essential to maintain a consistent indoor humidity level, typically between 35% and 55%. This can be achieved through the use of humidifiers or dehumidifiers, depending on the climate. Regular monitoring and adjustments are necessary to ensure optimal floor performance.
