Is the suspended floor of the assembled basketball court non-slip?
Prefabricated basketball court suspended floors offer excellent anti-slip properties, primarily achieved through the following design features, tailored to meet the needs of various scenarios:
1. Surface Texture Design
Granular or Textured Surface:
The suspended floor surface features a granular, striped, or concave-convex texture, increasing the contact area between the shoe sole and the floor and enhancing friction. For example, sophisticated designs like the crisscross pattern, square pattern, and snowflake pattern utilize scientifically arranged, regular cutouts to enhance slip resistance while ensuring drainage.
Special Anti-Slip Treatment:
Some products undergo special processes (such as sandblasting) to further enhance the surface roughness, reducing the risk of slips during play. For example, suspended floors in settings like kindergartens often feature a finer anti-slip pattern to ensure children's safety.
2. Material Characteristics:
High-Purity Modified Polypropylene (PP):
High-quality suspended floors are made from high-purity PP, offering excellent stability and UV resistance, making them suitable for challenging outdoor climates. PP is inherently non-toxic, odorless, wear-resistant, and weather-resistant, making it less susceptible to deformation or cracking after long-term use. Elasticity and Cushioning:
The vertical cushioning structure of the suspended floor (such as the elastic support feet) disperses impact forces, reducing slippage caused by sudden stops and jumps. For example, the 15mm-20mm thick flooring used in professional competition venues offers excellent shock absorption, dissipating over 85% of impact forces.
III. Drainage Performance Aids Slip Prevention
Hollow Grid Design:
The floor's surface features a hollow grid pattern, allowing rainwater to drain quickly through the hollow sections, preventing accumulation and slipping. The bottom grooves connect to the hollow sections, creating a self-draining system that ensures rapid return to service after rain.
Quick Drying:
The drainage performance of the suspended floor shortens drying time for outdoor venues after rain or cleaning, reducing the risk of slips caused by residual moisture.
IV. Real-World Verification
Professional Competition Venues:
FIBA-certified suspended floors (such as the Inlio brand) are used in top-tier international competitions. Their anti-slip properties must meet the high-intensity demands of professional athletes. For example, a ball rebound rate of ≥90% and a sliding friction coefficient of 0.52 ensure safe play. School and Community Venues:
In settings like school training grounds and community basketball courts, the anti-slip properties of suspended flooring can reduce the risk of sports injuries among young people. Its elastic support structure absorbs impact, reducing the risk of knee and ankle injuries.
Special Applications:
Kindergarten playgrounds utilize 8mm-10mm thick suspended flooring. Its anti-slip texture and environmentally friendly materials provide a safe environment for children. It maintains sufficient friction even when the floor is wet.
