Raising the Standard: How Professional Floor Systems Is Transforming the Future of Sports Flooring

At Professional Floor Systems, our mission has always been simple, deliver the highest quality hardwood sports floors in the industry, every single time. Today, we're proud to share how we're taking that promise to an entirely new level.

A New Era Begins: Our State-of-the-Art Facility in Shelley, Idaho

We are excited to announce the upcoming opening of our brand-new, fully climate-controlled fabrication facility in Shelley, Idaho the first and only one of its kind in the sports flooring industry.

This isn't just another warehouse. This facility is a purpose-built, precision-driven environment engineered from the ground up to produce the most consistent, durable, and high-performance portable basketball courts on the market.

Why Climate Control Matters

Temperature and humidity affect everything, from how wood cures to how finishes bond to the long-term performance of the final court. By precisely controlling the environment during fabrication, we eliminate guesswork and prevent common issues like:

• Warping

• Moisture-related movement

• Finish inconsistency

• Dimensional instability

The result? Courts that arrive perfectly stable, perfectly finished, and built to outperform in every setting.

Our new production space also features the flattest fabrication floor in the industry, engineered to an extraordinary tolerance of within 1/32" over 12 feet. This level of precision ensures that panels fit together flawlessly, reducing installation time and delivering long-term performance that athletes can trust.

From NCAA arenas to high school gyms, this facility allows us to produce the most reliable portable hardwood basketball floors ever built.

Customization: Transforming Courts Into Branding Powerhouses

A portable court isn't just a playing surface; it's a storytelling platform. It's where schools showcase pride, where sponsors gain visibility, and where events create unforgettable impressions. At Professional Floor Systems, we specialize in helping our clients elevate the look and functionality of their courts through high-quality graphics and branding solutions.

Temporary & Removable Decals

Perfect for:

• Tournament sponsors

• Special events

• Game-to-game branding changes

Our decals apply cleanly, remove easily, and leave zero residue—ideal for portable basketball court systems used in multi-purpose or high-event-rotation environments.

Permanent Logos & Branding

For long-lasting impact, we offer painted and inlaid logos sealed beneath premium polyurethane finishes. Whether Aacer, Horner, or Robbins fabricated your floor, we deliver crisp, vibrant, and durable graphics that withstand years of heavy play.

Why Branding Matters

Custom court graphics are among the most cost-effective upgrades available. For a fraction of the overall floor cost, you unlock:

• Revenue opportunities through sponsorships

• Increased school or program visibility

• A professional, broadcast-ready appearance

• A more engaging fan experience

From center-court icons to full-court transformations, we help turn every hardwood surface into a statement piece.

Choosing the Right Finish: Water-Based vs. Oil-Based

Finishes play a crucial role in the longevity, appearance, and maintenance needs of portable hardwood basketball floors. Both water-based and oil-based finishes offer unique advantages, here's a clear guide to help facility managers make the best choice.

Water-Based Finishes

Advantages:

• Fast Drying: Often ready for action within 24 hours

• Low Odor & Reduced VOCs: Safer and more pleasant application

• Environmentally Friendly: Ideal for sustainability-focused programs

• Clearer Look: Maintains a more natural, non yellowing appearance

Considerations:

• May require more coats to reach full durability

• Can be more prone to scuffing in heavy-traffic settings

Best For: High-event-rotation facilities, portable court systems needing fast turnarounds, and programs prioritizing eco-friendly options.

Oil-Based Finishes

Advantages:

• Superior Durability: Excellent for heavily used courts

• Rich, Glossy Appearance: A deep, classic gym-floor look

• Long-Lasting Protection: Forms a thick, resilient barrier against wear and moisture

Considerations:

• Longer Dry Time: 24–48 hours before full use

• Higher VOCs & Odor: Requires ventilation during application

• Yellowing Over Time: Will develop a warmer tone as it ages

Best For: Facilities with high traffic and long periods between major events, or those wanting the traditional high-gloss finish.
