Maintenance of ground bushings, floor pots and anchors in the sports floor

The importance of using floor supplies sparingly.

Floor pots, ground bushes and floor anchors are important floor provisions of a sports floor. They serve to secure floor posts or sports equipment. The construction and design of a floor provision is different and depends on its function. A worn, poorly sealed or uneven floor provision poses a danger. The consequences?
A dangerous sports floor, high repair costs and even liability risks.

Danger to athletes

Floor fixtures that are not at the proper height pose an immediate risk. A floor pot that is too high or too low can lead to trips and injuries. This is not only dangerous for athletes, but can have legal consequences if injuries occur.

Handle floor pots sparingly

Much damage to floor poles occurs due to improper use. Ensure that poles and other sports equipment are properly placed and removed. Avoid excessive loads and always use proper protective materials. If the seal around the floor pots is not good, water from the scrubber can soak into the shock absorbing layer of the sports floor. This swells and the floor can come loose. Bumps in the PU sports floor increase the risk of tripping and falling.

High costs in case of delay

Replacing or repairing a worn-out floor pan can quickly cost 400 euros each. If you wait too long, the damage can spread to the sports floor itself. That means even higher costs and possibly a complete renovation.
