When it comes to creating optimal indoor sports environments, high-quality flooring is paramount. KTL Sports Flooring is designed in Denmark through intensive and highly quality controlled processes, with all testing conducted with the Danish Technological Institute. Sports flooring needs to be durable, provide excellent shock absorption, and deliver a non-slip, safe surface for athletes. Among the many options available, KTL Hevea sports flooring stands out for its exceptional performance, durability, and commitment to sustainability.
Here’s a closer look at what makes Hevea Sports Flooring a preferred choice for sports facilities worldwide.
What is Hevea Sports Flooring?
KTL Hevea sports flooring is a specialised flooring solution designed for indoor sports applications. Made from natural hevea rubber and engineered with advanced manufacturing techniques, Hevea provides an indoor sports flooring surface that is both high-performing and eco-friendly. Hevea, the botanical name for the rubber tree, is tapped for latex, a sustainable resource. The resulting rubber material is processed to create flooring that can withstand intense athletic activity while offering natural shock absorption and resilience.
Key Features and Benefits of Hevea Sports Flooring
1. Exceptional Durability
One of the biggest advantages of Hevea flooring is its durability. This type of indoor sports flooring is designed to withstand heavy use, which makes it ideal for busy sports venues like gyms, multipurpose sports halls, and school athletic facilities. Unlike traditional flooring materials that can wear down quickly, KTL Hevea has a long lifespan, even in high-traffic areas.
2. Optimal Shock Absorption
Athletes require flooring that can reduce the risk of injury, particularly in high-impact sports. KTL Hevea flooring offers a high level of shock absorption, which helps to minimise strain on joints and muscles. This feature is especially beneficial in sports like basketball, volleyball, and indoor soccer, where athletes are constantly jumping and running. The cushioning effect of Hevea provides comfort and reduces fatigue, allowing athletes to perform at their best for longer periods.
3. Superior Traction
Safety is a priority in indoor sports flooring, and KTL Hevea sports flooring excels in this regard by offering a non-slip surface that maintains traction, even in wet or humid conditions. The flooring’s surface is design to ensure athletes can move confidently and quickly without the risk of slipping, making it ideal for fast-paced sports.
4. Adaptable to the Humidity of Your Area
As a unique feature, the flooring boards are customised with moisture content with tight tolerances, to suit the individual climatic conditions in your area. This means that your floor is installed without gaps and tailor-made to remain highly stable in its installed environment.
Why choose Hevea Indoor Sports Flooring
Environmental Sustainability
One of the standout aspects of KTL Hevea flooring is its commitment to sustainability. Hevea is a type of wood is known for its stability and low environmental impact. About 90 % of the floor boards are made of discarded Hevea plantation wood. Hevea brasiliensis, commonly known as rubberwood, is often found in Malaysian plantations as a cash crop planted for the harvest of its latex sap. However, when the latex produced by the tree dries up, the tree is chopped down for wood. KTL turns the discarded Hevea trees into their championship indoor sports floor. The use of hevea rubber, a renewable resource, makes this type of flooring an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic sports flooring options. Additionally, KTL Hevea flooring is recyclable, further underscoring the brand’s dedication to sustainable practices.
Maintenance and Longevity
KTL Hevea sports flooring is relatively low maintenance, requiring simple cleaning to keep it in prime condition. Thanks to its robust construction, the flooring resists wear and tear, even with frequent use, ensuring that sports facilities get the most out of their investment. When properly cared for, KTL Hevea flooring can last for decades, providing a long-term solution that combines performance with value.
