How to replace the wooden floor in the school gym?

Supervisors require replacing floors in the school gym. Tell me, what are the options for a high-quality wooden coating for such premises. Sincerely, Nelly Ivanovna.

Hello, Nelly Ivanovna! The flooring in the school gym must be even (without protrusions and dips), sufficiently rigid and resistant to serious dynamic loads. At the same time, the degree of elasticity of the floor is also of great importance, especially during basketball and volleyball games. Wooden floor in the gym with proper installation is able to provide a high degree of shock absorption. Wooden floors laid according to special technologies satisfy all the requirements for floor coverings in rooms intended for physical education and sports.

At the moment, four flooring technologies are used in any gym, including the school:

deck floor;
lag system;
floating structure;
collapsible floor.

Most often, a deck system is used, the execution of which uses wooden beams cut from softwood. The ideal material is Siberian larch wood, which is durable, durable and practical. Wooden floors from this tree species:

not afraid of high humidity;
not subject to rotting processes;
do not need antibacterial treatment;
they are resistant to mechanical damage;
resistant to abrasion after processing with special varnishes.

Important! The material must be well dried, otherwise after installation, cracks may appear after a while, which is unacceptable.

Bar for laying floors in gyms

The bars are laid on the rough floor laid on the logs. It is also possible to carry out the installation of wooden blocks on a concrete base. In any case, the fastening of the floor elements is carried out by the groove-comb method. In general, the installation of the floor on deck technology is quite simple. The main thing is that all stacked bars have the correct geometric shape.
