In the Olympic Games that ended a while ago, we often saw PVC sports floors. Now, PVC sports floors are used in more and more international competitions. How did PVC sports floors gradually replace solid wood sports floors?
1. PVC sports flooring has a wider range of applications:
PVC sports flooring is the best choice for all ball sports venues including basketball in international official competitions. Internationally recognized badminton, table tennis, volleyball, handball and other sports venues generally use PVC sports flooring. Compared with solid wood sports flooring, PVC sports flooring has better safety, shock absorption and rebound performance. The application range of solid wood sports flooring is relatively narrow. In addition, the installation of solid wood sports flooring is relatively complicated and cannot meet the needs of customers for mobile venues. PVC sports flooring is easy to install, and the movable sports flooring can also meet the special needs of customers for mobile venues.
2. PVC sports flooring has better sports performance:
PVC sports flooring has better sports performance than solid wood sports flooring, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
◆ Comfort
Generally speaking, the comfort of sports flooring is from high to low: PVC sports flooring - acrylic (polyurethane) sports flooring - rubber flooring - solid wood sports flooring. It can be seen that the comfort of PVC sports flooring!
◆ Tremor - point tremor and regional tremor
Regional tremor refers to the range of deformation of the floor due to impact. The larger the tremor range, the easier it is to cause fractures. The tremor of solid wood sports flooring is a typical regional tremor. PVC sports flooring uses a closed honeycomb structure, so its tremor range is small and belongs to point tremor, which protects the athlete's body to the maximum extent.
◆Cost-effectiveness
PVC sports flooring has a higher cost-effectiveness. The price of truly professional solid wood sports flooring is expensive. Due to the different grades and structures of flooring materials, the prices of sports wooden floors vary greatly. PVC sports flooring undoubtedly provides a better choice for the majority of users and fundamentally solves the worries of athletes. Domestic sports flooring is more popular in the domestic market, and the price is much lower than that of solid wood sports flooring!
◆Maintenance
The daily maintenance of PVC sports floor is more convenient and cheaper; solid wood sports floor requires professional maintenance, and the maintenance cost is relatively high (for some floors, the annual maintenance cost may be equivalent to the purchase price of the floor), while the surface of PVC sports floor is treated with wear resistance and anti-fouling, and does not need waxing for life. It can be cleaned and maintained by non-professionals, and daily cleaning only needs to use a slightly damp mop.
