Even the highest quality sports wood flooring materials will fail to deliver their full performance potential if they are installed incorrectly, which is why the NB brand has developed a standardized, strictly controlled installation process that every certified NB installation team must follow for every indoor gymnasium wood flooring project.

Before any construction even begins, NB technical engineers first visit the venue site to perform a full inspection of the concrete base, testing the surface flatness, moisture content, and hardness to ensure it meets the requirements for NB flooring installation. If the concrete base does not meet the standards, NB technicians will provide professional guidance to correct any issues first, preventing hidden problems that could affect the floor performance years later. The first step of the actual installation process is laying down the full continuous polyethylene moisture-proof film, with overlapping seams carefully taped to create a complete unbroken moisture barrier across the entire venue. Next, the professional GALLOP rubber elastic shock pads are arranged at the precise 9-12 units per square meter density, marked out with a measuring tape to ensure perfectly even spacing across every square meter of the court. Then the two layers of 15mm high-density plywood are laid in a staggered cross direction, secured with special screws to create the stable base layer, before the top hardwood NB boards are installed using the mortise and tenon double joint system. After all the panels are fully locked in place, technicians perform initial sanding to level the entire surface, before applying the multiple layers of NB’s exclusive sports floor paint, with fine sanding between each coat to create a perfectly smooth uniform finish. Finally, professional line marking paint is used to draw the precise standard competition lines for basketball, badminton, or other sports as requested by the venue. This full standardized NB installation process ensures that every single indoor gymnasium wood flooring project, no matter where it is located, delivers exactly the same consistent professional performance that NB is famous for.
