Oak Flooring for Basketball Courts: Durability Meets Aesthetics

Origin: White and red oak are sourced from the U.S. Midwest and Europe, valued for their robustness and classic appearance.
Performance: Oak’s Janka hardness (1,360 lbf for white oak) ensures resistance to wear, while its natural tannins repel insects and fungi.
Characteristics: Distinctive grain patterns and rich colors (from light tan to deep brown) make oak visually striking. However, its porous nature requires regular sealing to prevent moisture damage.
Material: Solid oak planks (20–25mm thick) are often installed with a floating subfloor to accommodate thermal expansion.
