HARO-Sports / Wood species.

The hardwoods Canadian Maple, Beech, Oak and Ash have been tried and tested and are approved materials for hardwood sports flooring. These species have a high Brinnell rating and this makes them ideal wood species for sports flooring (The Brinnell Hardness Test determines the hardness of wood species).
Our grading procedures for these species allows us to display the natural diversity of the hardwood’s colour and texture, thus giving an unique and desirable appearance – the perfect choice for sports and multi-purpose applications.

Wood has a comfort level too!

Wood is a natural product and reacts to different air humidity levels. A proper regulation of temperature and humidity content minimises undesired swelling and shrinking of the hardwood sports flooring. Regular care and maintenance according to HARO cleaning and care instructions ensures and guarantees a great performance over the lifetime of your HARO Sports Floor.
