Duke University Indoor Stadium: Sweating the Details

In life, we often find that it's the little things that matter the most. The same principle holds true when it comes to the meticulous process of sanding and refinishing gym floors, be it for Division I NCAA arenas or high school courts. At Royalwood Associates, we understand the significance of these nuances, recognizing that it is the small details.

Every inch of a gym floor is a canvas, and the spacing between the free-throw line and the conference logo, the precise positioning of letters in the border – these seemingly minor elements can make a world of difference. It's these subtleties that can transform a floor into one that functions seamlessly or, conversely, one that encounters avoidable hiccups.

Consider the conference logo; if it's too close to the free-throw lane, every time a volleyball court is taped out, the baseline of the court might obscure the bottom of the logo. The positioning of letters in the backcourt border is equally critical. In instances where portable goals are used, an oversight in letter placement might result in the base of the goals obstructing the visibility of these essential markings.

At Royalwood Associates, we take pride in our commitment to sweating the details, embracing the philosophy that it's the little things that truly make a difference. Our craftsmanship extends beyond the grandeur of a stadium or the prestige of a university; it delves into the precision required to ensure that every aspect of a gym floor serves its purpose seamlessly.

In fact, we're thrilled to share that we've recently completed a project at the iconic Cameron Indoor Stadium at Duke University. It's not just a job for us; it's a testament to our dedication to excellence in every project we undertake. We understand that the legacy of a floor lies not only in its grandeur but also in the meticulous attention paid to every inch.

So next time you witness the grace of a well-maintained gym floor, remember that it's not just the wood beneath your feet – it's a masterpiece crafted with precision, passion, and an unwavering commitment to the little things that truly matter.
