Plate Keel Hardwood Sports Flooring

Plate Keel Hardwood Sports Flooring

Hardwood Surface

Description

A low-profile permanent hardwood sports floor designed for indoor courts where construction height matters. Pine plate keels and natural rubber pads support the hardwood surface, while a moisture-resistant layer helps protect the system from the concrete subfloor. Choose Hardwood L1, L2 or L3 to match the required playing level and finish.

Benefits

  • Low construction height: Well suited to renovations and venues with limited floor build-up.
  • Reliable sports performance: Natural rubber pads provide impact protection while the finished hardwood delivers controlled grip.
  • Stable permanent structure: Wide plate keels distribute support across the subfloor.
  • Moisture protection: A non-woven moisture-resistant layer separates the wood structure from the base.
  • Custom appearance: Custom colours, court markings and logos are available.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Plate Keel system different?

Wide pine plate keels and natural-rubber cushions distribute support across the subfloor while keeping the overall construction height low. This makes the system especially useful for renovations and venues with limited floor build-up.

Is this a fixed or portable hardwood floor?

This is a permanent, fixed sports-floor system. Its keel structure, cushioning, stabilising board and hardwood surface are installed as one integrated floor and are not intended for routine removal. For a relocatable system, choose Portable Hardwood Sports Flooring.

Which hardwood surfaces are available?

Choose Hardwood L1 with 22 mm Grade A solid maple-birch, Hardwood L2 with 22 mm Grade A solid maple or Hardwood L3 with 22 mm solid Canadian maple. The best option depends on the required appearance, playing level and project specification.

Which sports and venues is this floor suitable for?

It is designed for indoor basketball and multipurpose sports facilities, including schools, clubs, training centres, sports halls and arenas. Court dimensions, game lines and competition requirements are confirmed for each project.

Can the colours, court markings and logos be customised?

Yes. Surface colours, game lines and logos can be planned around the required sports, branding and venue layout.

What should be confirmed before ordering and installation?

Please provide the court dimensions, intended sports, preferred Hardwood L1, L2 or L3 surface, venue and delivery location, and any required colours, markings or logos. The base should also be assessed for levelness, moisture, construction height, transitions and equipment locations before installation.
