Maintenance method of solid wood sports floor
The investment in solid wood sports flooring is significant, and the maintenance can be both challenging and costly. To enhance the performance and extend the lifespan of solid wood sports floors, Runsheng Wood offers some essential maintenance tips that should not be overlooked:
1. **Never wax the wood sports floor**.
While waxing is a common method used to protect wooden products, solid wood sports flooring has strict requirements for the surface friction coefficient (between 0.4 and 0.7). If the floor becomes too smooth due to waxing, it may reduce the friction between the athlete’s shoes and the floor. This could lead to slipping during movement, which not only affects performance but can also cause serious accidents. Therefore, instead of waxing, the correct maintenance method for sports flooring is "extinction," meaning using specific protective coatings designed for this purpose.
2. **Avoid using solvent-based cleaning products**.
Products such as gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, and esters are considered solvent-based oils. These can damage the finish on the floor by dissolving or weakening the protective layer, leading to long-term wear and tear.
3. **Regularly clean ventilation holes, expansion joints, heaters, and equipment installation areas**.
These areas should be kept clear and free from dust or debris. Use a vacuum cleaner or an air compressor to blow out any accumulated dirt, ensuring proper airflow and preventing damage to the structure.
4. **Clean the floor daily with a vacuum and a slightly damp mop**.
During dry seasons, increase the frequency of mopping to maintain optimal humidity levels inside the venue, which helps prevent the wood from drying out and cracking.
In addition to these maintenance practices, there are important rules for people entering the venue:
1. **All individuals must wear sports shoes** with clean soles free of dirt or sand. Staff members who enter the hall temporarily should wear thick velvet shoe covers to protect the floor.
2. **No water should be sprinkled**, and no litter, cigarette butts, metal objects, or sharp items should be left on the floor. These can cause stains, scratches, or even structural damage over time.
3. **Do not drag or roll hard objects across the floor**. Such actions can scratch or dent the surface, reducing its durability and appearance.
4. **When construction or installation work is taking place**, a protective layer should be placed on the affected area of the floor to prevent accidental damage during the process.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your solid wood sports flooring remains in excellent condition for years to come, providing a safe and high-quality playing environment for athletes.
