UNIVERSITY OF KENT CASE STUDY – ROBBINS FLOORING

The first facility in the UK to install a Robbins MVP flooring

Kent is the first UK university to have a sustainably sourced Robbins solid maple wood floor installed by its UK-based partner TVS Sports Surfaces.

Robbins, which was founded in 1894, is a preferred supplier of competition and training surfaces to 80% of teams in the billion-dollar NBA. Of the last 27 NBA Championships, 22 were won by teams who play or train on the company’s courts.

The TVS/Robbins partnership was chosen after an exhaustive evaluation by the University of Kent, with quality and longevity being major factors in the final
decision along with the need to meet stringent international and UK sports standards.

The substructure work was undertaken within a week and the new flooring, using maple from both the USA and from Canada, was completed by TVS Sports Surfaces on schedule.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SPORTS FLOORING

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SPORTS FLOORING

The most important considerations for sports flooring are intended use case and who will be using it. Amateurs and professionals demand different qualities. Multi-use surfaces like polyurethane and vinyl can be used in sports halls and gymnasiums for five-a-side football, basketball and other court games.

Other sports demand a specialised surface, like outdoor hockey which needs to be played on artificial turf with a low pile, and pro basketball which requires timber. The sport and the level of play (amateur, professional) are key considerations.

What Surface Is Available for Sports Pitches?

Sports pitches are typically multi-use surfaces with football, hockey, rugby, American football and basketball played on them.

However, the performance of a sports pitch depends on the sport it is used for and this is determined by the pile height of the artificial grass. Longer artificial grass is better for football, but shorter grass is better for hockey.
