Systems

Five layers. Only one of them is the floor.

Badminton courts in African teak, squash courts in maple, built from the slab up. Everything under the boards is what decides whether the court is still flat in ten years.

The build-up

  1. 05

    Markings & Finish

    Industrial sanding, then sealed in water-based polyurethane.

    • Industrial sanding and finish
    • PU water-based court finish
    • International-standard badminton court markings
    • Professional-grade freestanding poles and nets installed

    Playing Surface

    African teak for badminton, maple for squash — blind-nailed so nothing shows on the face.

    • Premium African teak planks, 20–21 mm, for badminton courts
    • Maple for squash courts
    • Tongue & groove locking for stability
    • Hidden nailing along the tongue for a seamless finish
    • Laid directly over the completed pine framework — no plywood
  3. 03

    Interlocked Pine Framework

    Chemically treated pine running both ways, notched into itself at every crossing.

    • Pine members run in both directions across the floor
    • Interlocked at intersections to form a continuous grid
    • Chemically treated and seasoned against termite and moisture
    • Allows air circulation to handle environmental expansion
  4. 02

    Shock Pads

    The layer a player's knees feel, and never think about.

    • 20–21 mm button-type shock pads to reduce impact and player fatigue
    • Vibration absorption for player safety and comfort
    • Optimized spacing across the court
  5. 01

    Base / Subfloor

    Prepared concrete substrate, sealed against moisture.

    • Prepared concrete / substrate for a solid foundation
    • 3–5 mm moisture-resistant membrane beneath the flooring
    • Prevents humidity damage and extends floor life

The framework

Pine both ways,
locked at every crossing.

Members run in both directions and interlock at their intersections, forming one continuous timber framework. The whole of the wood-flooring work processing is carried out using pneumatic nailing machines.

Interlocked timber framework

RACEON method

  • Pine members run in both directions
  • Members interlock at every intersection
  • Forms one continuous timber framework
  • Teak or maple laid directly over the completed grid

Parallel supports

Typical method

  • Supports run in a single direction
  • No interlocking between members
  • Flooring laid directly over the supports
  • Members remain individual, not a grid
