- Excellent ball bounce.
- FIBA and EN compliant.
- High-profile system height.
- Moisture-proof system featuring multi-layer hardwood sleepers.
LD-22H advantages
- Pro safety protection: Excellent shock absorption performance helps mitigate impact forces on athletes and reduce the risk of sports injuries.
- Superior athletic performance: Stable, precise ball rebound and optimal energy return meet international professional competition standards.
- LVL sleepers: High strength, good load-bearing capacity, resistance to deformation, corrosion, moisture and weather.
- Parallel double-sleeper structure: Helps avoid hard points at crossing areas, distributes force more evenly and supports better shock absorption and athlete protection.
- Anti-slip and stability: A professional anti-slip surface provides a uniform, appropriate friction coefficient for stability and agility.
- Comfortable underfoot feel: Natural temperature and humidity regulation with a skin-friendly feel for more comfortable contact.

System details that matter on court
Source specifications from the LD-22H Solid-Fixed Birch and LD-18F Engineered Wood system data sheets.
LVL elastic dual sleepers
Parallel double sleepers help distribute force more evenly and avoid hard points at crossing areas.
Birch system certifications
LD-22H is listed as FIBA and EN 14904 compliant, with moisture- and corrosion-protection in its sleeper structure.
LD-18F: 92mm system height
Engineered Wood system using an 18 × 167 × 1215mm top panel, 12mm loading panel and LVL double-keel structure.
Long-term PVC-cover ready
The engineered system’s multi-layer construction is specified for dimensional stability when PVC sports mats are laid over it for extended periods.
Lower-maintenance operation
LD-18F is specified without regular sanding and refinishing, helping reduce maintenance-related court closures.
System 02 · Engineered Wood Fixed System
LD-18F Engineered Wood System
Engineered for stability and built for performance. The multi-layer construction is specified to reduce expansion and contraction from humidity and temperature change.

|---|---|
| Top panel size | 18 × 167 × 1215mm |
| Loading panel size | 12 × 1220 × 2440mm |
| Keel material | LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) |
| Keel structure | Double-keel elastic structure with built-in 5mm soft rubber pad |
| Keel size | 15 × 70mm + 5mm + 15 × 70mm |
| Keel height | 35mm |
| Leveling adjustment pad | 9mm |
| Shock-absorbing pad | 18 × 53 × 68mm |
| System height | 92mm |
Engineered for stability, built for performance
- High stability & moisture resistance: Cross-laminated multi-layer construction reduces expansion and contraction caused by changes in humidity and temperature.
- Seamless & cleaner surface: Tight panel joints create a cleaner, more attractive surface and make daily cleaning easier.
- Better graphic appearance: Custom court graphics and patterns can achieve a cleaner, more refined finish than traditional solid hardwood.
- Ideal for long-term PVC covering: Greater dimensional stability when PVC sports mats are laid over the floor for extended periods, with less risk of deformation.
- No regular sanding & refinishing: Helps reduce maintenance-related court closures and minimizes downtime.
- Lower maintenance costs: Requires significantly less long-term maintenance than traditional solid hardwood flooring.
