Parquet Maple Sports Flooring System Built for Dimensional Stability, Resilient Performance, and Distinctive Visual Design

The Connor Sports SportBond™ Plus Specialty Hardwood System is a resilient hardwood athletic flooring system engineered for gymnasiums, basketball courts, volleyball courts, aerobic spaces, dance floors, recreation centers, school athletic facilities, and multipurpose sports environments that require dimensional stability, resilient performance, and a unique parquet-style maple sports flooring appearance.

SportBond™ Plus uses parquet-type maple panels primarily manufactured from vertical grain maple, helping increase dimensional stability in facilities exposed to broad seasonal conditions. This makes SportBond™ Plus a strong hardwood sports flooring solution for environments where temperature and humidity changes can influence wood movement, while also delivering a distinctive visual aesthetic that separates the court from traditional strip maple flooring systems.

At the surface, SportBond™ Plus features Connor SportBond Maple, manufactured from Northern Hard Maple in a 1/2" x 7/8" square-edge, kiln-dried, edge-grain format. Beneath the maple surface, the system includes a minimum 6-mil polyethylene vapor barrier, two layers of 15/32" APA-rated plywood sheathing, and resilient pad options including 1/2" Rezill DIN recycled rubber pads, optional 3/4" Rezill recycled rubber pads, or optional 3/4" NeoShok 70D or 50D pads depending on the facility’s performance needs.

SportBond™ Plus can be installed in a continuous end-to-end pattern or an optional alternating SportBond Square parquet pattern, giving architects, designers, athletic directors, and facility owners more visual flexibility than many conventional hardwood gym floor systems. Optional use of Rezill™ or NeoShok™ pads also allows the system to support DIN and PUR compliance for projects requiring tested resilient athletic flooring performance.

The system offers practical profile height options based on pad selection, including a 2" profile height with 1/2" wood flooring and 1/2" Rezill DIN pad, or a 2-1/4" profile height with 1/2" wood flooring and 3/4" NeoShok or Rezill pads. These lower-profile options make SportBond™ Plus a practical fit for new construction, renovation projects, multipurpose rooms, gymnasium retrofits, aerobic rooms, and dance applications.

The product flyer identifies SportBond™ Plus as a specialty hardwood system supported by certified testing through ISS Scientific Body Membership, ISO 14001:2015 manufacturing, recycled content contribution, United States Sports Surfacing Laboratory testing, and managed forest certification availability.
