FAQ & Releted Reading

　　When installing sports flooring, there's one thing everyone overlooks: humidity. But controlling humidity is important to ensure the longevity, performance and safety of your sports floor. Below, we take a look at why humidity is so important.

　　Why Humidity Matters

　　Humidity can cause irreversible damage to the performance and durability of a sports floor

　　Material Stability: Many sports flooring materials are sensitive to humidity relative to incoming water. Too much humidity can cause the material to expand, and if it's low humidity the material will shrink. Gaps, warping and other structural problems can occur in both cases.

　　Adhesive Performance: Adhesives are used in most sports flooring installations, and adhesives can be substandard due to humidity, which can make the adhesive bond less strong and can cause the sports flooring to separate from the subfloor.

　　SAFETY: Excessive humidity will cause the surface traction of the sports floor to be reduced. This can make the surface slippery and increase the risk of injury. Conversely, too little humidity will dry out the surface, which can cause wear and discomfort.

　　What are the humidity requirements for sports flooring installation

　　First before installation: before installation, stabilize the humidity level of the place where the flooring is to be laid. In most types of sports flooring, the more desirable humidity levels are between 35% and 55%. This range allows the sports flooring material to adapt to the environment.

　　Next, during installation: The humidity level should be maintained consistently during the installation process. If there are sudden changes in humidity during this period, it will reduce the stability of the curing adhesive and the material.

　　Then after installation: After the installation campaign, the humidity range should continue to be monitored and controlled. This will ensure that the floor remains stable and performs well.
