Part I: Selection Guide – Getting to Know Your “Athletic Partner” mindoo Core Wood Choices

Choosing the right wood material is as vital as selecting the right shoe for an athlete. All the wood species mindoo offers have their own unique "personality" and benefits.

1. Maple: The Sports Flooring "All-Star"

Summary: Fine grain, light and bright color, high hardness, and exceptional wear resistance. It is universally recognized as the premier material for basketball courts.

Best For: Hardwood Basketball Court Flooring, Maple Gym Flooring, and Fiba Approved Flooring venues.

mindoo’s Recommendation: If your venue is primarily for high-impact sports like basketball, volleyball, or badminton, and demands perfect ball rebound, choose maple. Specifically, our Maple Wood Flooring provides athletes with the most authentic and stable performance feel.

2. Oak: The Classic and Elegant Choice

Summary: Prominent, rich grain, slightly lower hardness than maple, but offers wider color variations. It is relatively easy to maintain.

Best For: Oak Dance Floor studios, Oak Floor Basketball Courts, and Oak Wood Sports Flooring projects.

mindoo’s Recommendation: Oak offers a sophisticated aesthetic and is often used in dance studios and premium-grade basketball courts that demand a classic, upscale look. It still delivers excellent shock absorption capabilities.

3.Beech & Ash: The High-Value Contenders

Summary: These woods are popular in Europe, boast high strength, and offer a significant cost advantage over maple, providing excellent value for money.

Best For: beech sports flooring, ash sport flooring, and multi-purpose gymnasiums.

mindoo’s Recommendation: If your venue is multi-functional (e.g., combining sports with community events) and you have budget constraints, mindoo's Beech and Ash series are smart choices that balance performance and cost effectively.

4.Birch: Solid Wood on a Friendly Budget

Summary: Natural color, soft grain, and another common type of hardwood flooring material with a competitive price point.

Best For: Birch Solid Wood Flooring, general fitness gyms, and dance practice rooms.

mindoo’s Recommendation: Want the stability and feel of solid wood but can't stretch to maple prices? Try our Natural Birch Wood Flooring. It provides reliable performance and is our high-value solid wood solution.

5.Portable Flooring: The Expert in Flexibility

Summary: Designed for quick assembly and disassembly, it protects the subfloor, is easy to store, and is the perfect solution for multi-use spaces.

Best For: portable sports flooring, portable basketball flooring, rental events, and large touring competitions.

mindoo’s Recommendation: Our wooden portable flooring utilizes a professional locking structure, ensuring the floor remains perfectly flat and safe after assembly, allowing your venue to switch seamlessly between sports and commercial functions.

Part II: Installation Guide – The mindoo Professional System Guarantee

The performance of sports wood flooring is determined one-third by the material, and two-thirds by the installation! mindoo understands this. Our installation process is not just "laying planks"—it’s a scientific, engineered sports surface project.

1.The Professional Structure System is Key

Our floors use a floating structure system. This means the planks are not glued directly to the subfloor.

The sub-layers include specialized shock pads and/or resilient sleepers (joists). This is the core technology that provides shock absorption, energy return, and joint protection.

We guarantee that our systems meet international standards (like DIN or FIBA) for impact absorption, energy restitution, and vertical deformation.

2.The “Secret Weapon” of mindoo Installation

Ground Inspection and Preparation: We start with a strict inspection of your existing subfloor, ensuring it meets required standards for levelness, moisture content, and humidity. This is the first line of defense for your floor's longevity.

Moisture and Sound Proofing: Before laying the sleepers, we apply professional moisture-proofing treatments. This is vital to prevent the floor from swelling or warping, significantly extending its life.

Precise Sleeper Installation: The sleepers are the floor's "skeleton." We use high-precision leveling techniques to ensure the spacing and flatness of the sleepers meet exact standards, providing uniform support for the top surface.

Finishing and Curing: Once the planks are installed, we carry out professional sanding, sealing, and court marking. mindoo uses eco-friendly, highly durable sports-specific lacquer to ensure the floor’s slip resistance and gloss meet all athletic requirements.
