Here’s a detailed, data-driven overview of wood basketball court flooring, with pricing and specifications based on NBfloor products and industry benchmarks:
Hard maple is the industry standard for basketball courts due to its exceptional resilience, consistent ball bounce, and effective shock absorption—endorsed by NBA, NCAA, and FIBA-level installations.
Durable and long-lasting: properly maintained maple floors can endure 40–50+ years, making them a sustainable, long-term investment .
Specifications:
20–22 mm solid hard maple surface
25 mm LVL battens + 18 mm shock cushion
Mortise & tenon + snake‑spring connector system—no nails, lightweight (≈20 kg panel)
Can be installed by 4–6 people in ~5 hours for a full-size court
Certifications: FIBA, ISO, DIN, EN, BWF
Price (FOB China): ~US $87–92/m² for 100–3,000 m² volume
Specifications:
Fixed/floating installation structure
Uses 57 mm system height
All-solid hard maple components, certified for competition use
According to NBfloor’s cost guide:
Hardwood court installation (maple or birch): US $45–90/m² including material + labor
Lower end (birch or basic maple): ~US $45–60/m²
Top-tier oak or premium maple: typical US $70–90/m²
This aligns with typical installed costs of:
$3–8 per ft² material and $2–5 per ft² installation (~US $9–17/ft²) for full-size courts
Installed (NBfloor hardwood):
219 m² × $45–90 ≈ US $9,855 – $19,710
Installed cost:
437 m² × $45–90 ≈ US $19,665 – $39,330
Additional turnkey-outfit costs (lighting, structure, etc.) can raise totals toward US $50K+ depending on scale and extras.
Primary factors: wood type/grade (maple vs birch), system (portable vs fixed), customization (logos, colors), location-specific labor rates.
Advantages:
Maple floors are repairable (sanding & recoating), unlike vinyl or tiles
Elite-level bounce and performance
Clean, professional look with 95° high-gloss finish systems like NB-F800
