Applications · School gyms
A school gym hosts PE classes in the morning, team training in the afternoon and assemblies or events at weekends. LDK’s permanent sports wood floors are built for that daily rhythm – a complete system of hardwood surface, joists and resilient pads, supplied direct from our Huizhou factory. Because the same room hosts PE, team training, assemblies, and weekend events, compare maintenance needs in school gymnasium flooring optionsschool gymnasium flooring options.

Which LDK Floor Fits a School Gym?
First choice · LDK25W01Single-joist, 70 mm

Also suitable · LDK25W02Double-joist, 114 mm
For larger school halls and schools that run several sports on one court: 22 mm surface on a double-layer 30 × 50 mm pine grid with 12 mm resilient pads.

Both are permanent floors for courts used every day. The choice depends on the hall size, the sports played, the available floor height and the budget.

Five Things to Settle Before You Order
- 1. Court layoutWhich sports and court markings the hall needs – basketball, volleyball, badminton or PE lines.
- 2. Floor heightW01 is 70 mm and W02 is 114 mm in total: check door thresholds and adjoining floors.
- 3. Slab and moistureWithin 5 mm under a 2 m straightedge, C25 concrete or stronger, and moisture below 14%.
- 4. Hall climate35–50% relative humidity is best for a wood floor, with doors and windows closed before installation.
- 5. Hoops and dividersCeiling-suspended hoops and divider curtains let one court work as several teaching spaces.
- 6. TimelineProduction typically takes 35–65 days, so plan the order around the school calendar.
One hall, more classes
Run Several Classes on One Court
Add side-mounted hoops and divider curtains, and one full basketball court becomes three training courts – so several PE groups or teams can use the hall at the same time. LDK can supply the hoops, lighting and sound for the same project.
