Description

Maple hardwood has always been the traditional choice for basketball flooring. Tarkett Sports’ ClutchCourt honors that tradition with modern innovations to create the perfect competitive surface. Whether your facility is a school gymnasium or a professional arena, ClutchCourt offers a basketball court to satisfy any level of competition.

Depending on how it responds to an athlete, a sports floor can be classified based on its elasticity. The most common types of elasticity are area-elastic or point-elastic. The key difference relates to the relative area of deflection when a downward force is applied to the surface. For instance, when a basketball player runs across a court, each footfall creates energy as it lands. This energy must be dispersed in some way across the floor. An area-elastic floor disperses energy over a wide surface area, while a point-elastic sports floor reacts in a more localized area. A combination flooring system combines the properties of both area-elastic and point-elastic flooring.
