When planning the construction of a basketball court, of course you will be faced with various types of basketball court options. Indeed, there are several types of basketball floors that are often used, namely wooden floors, rubber floors & acrylic floors. Each type of flooring has special characteristics & purposes.

Below, look at a number of factors to consider in choosing the type of basketball court according to your building concept plan.

1. Wooden Floor
A wooden floor basketball court will give a very high aesthetic feel. The field looks more elegant & classic. Functionally, it is also very responsive to the game, both in terms of the reflection of the ball and the grip of the players' feet. This type of floor has become mandatory for international and national level basketball competitions.

• Sub-base: Concrete
• Building Type: Indoor

2. Rubber Flooring
Rubber floor basketball courts have very high durability. This type of flooring is very resistant to wear, scratches & pressure. It is also complete with a good shock absorption system so as to reduce the risk of player injury. The maintenance is relatively minimalist, low cost & easy to do.

3. Acrylic Floor
Acrylic floor basketball courts are renowned for their optimal performance. The surface is very responsive and able to provide optimal reflectivity. Its lifespan is also considered long-lasting, resistant to wear and tear and not even difficult to maintain. From an aesthetic perspective, acrylic floors also have charming visuals.

In choosing the type of flooring for a basketball court, it is important to consider user needs, budget requirements, and the overall design of the building. If your building concept places more emphasis on aesthetics, wooden or acrylic floors could be a good choice.
