Your Top Questions About Tongue and Groove Hardwood Flooring Answered
How long does installation take for a standard basketball court?
For a standard 28x15m court, our tongue and groove hardwood flooring installs in 2-3 days with a 2-person crew. This includes subfloor preparation, acclimation, and final finishing. Compare this to 2 weeks for traditional hardwood systems.
Can it be used outdoors?
Yes! While primarily designed for indoor use, our premium-grade tongue and groove hardwood flooring includes UV-resistant coatings and waterproof underlayment options for covered outdoor areas. However, for full outdoor exposure, we recommend our modular sport tiles which are specifically engineered for outdoor conditions.
What's the difference between standard and sports-grade?
The sports-grade features 25% better shock absorption (30% vs 25% for standard) and premium wood species like Canadian maple or European oak. It also includes shock-absorbing lacquer for enhanced player safety and ball response.
How do I maintain it?
Minimal maintenance required! Sweep daily and oil every 2-3 years using our recommended maintenance kit. For sports facilities, we recommend professional refinishing every 7-10 years depending on usage.
Can you customize with our school's colors?
Absolutely! We offer full custom staining services. Send us your school colors (Pantone codes work best) and we'll create a custom finish that matches exactly. Many universities use this for their team logos and court markings.
What's your lead time?
Standard orders ship within 4-6 weeks from order confirmation. For urgent projects, we offer rush production (additional 20% fee) that can deliver in 2 weeks. Our 500,000 sqft warehouse ensures we always have stock of popular grades.
Do you offer installation services?
Yes! We have certified installation teams across North America and Europe. Alternatively, we provide detailed installation manuals for facilities that prefer DIY installation. Our tongue and groove system is specifically designed for easy installation by general contractors.
