Before I began working at Floor Craft Sanding, I’m not sure if I ever paid attention to gym flooring graphics, or basketball court flooring at all (unless the logo colors were particularly awful!) But since Floor Craft Sanding refinishes so many school gyms or commercial basketball courts, I’ve started noticing these the hardwood floors in basketball courts: what hardwood flooring pattern they have or how they laid out their color pattern for their lines and team graphics.
That is probably the reason that I found this recent article in the bleacherreport.com which lists their top 13 college basketball courts in the nation based on their unique use of colors, graphics and hardwood. Proudly there were two Indiana basketball courts on the list: Purdue and Notre Dame.
While these Indiana basketball courts offer more of what fans expect from a traditional basketball court, once again the University of Oregon pushes the envelop of expectation (and of what fans and players can handle from a court!)
What about the graphics on your court?
As any sports fan knows, there is something about a school’s basketball court that represents more than the team or the athletic department, but the spirit of the school itself. A basketball court is the background for all the home advantage a team and fans need. That means athletic directors need to be confident when choosing the company to install a new court or refinish an existing court. Our team at Floor Craft Sanding have years of experience with all aspects of sport hardwood flooring from repairs to refinishing to full installations.
If any of these courts inspire you to upgrade your school’s gym floor logo or lines or if your basketball courts simply need to have a screen and recoat after the school year, your hardwood flooring experts at Floor Craft Sanding can help advise you of the best option for your sports floor.
