This sports hall restoration at a school in Devon involved bringing it back to a safe, high-performance standard for multi-sport use. With worn coatings and faded line markings, the floor required a complete overhaul to restore both function and appearance.
The Starting Point
- Worn lacquer with visible traffic patterns
- Existing game lines faded and inconsistent
- Surface showing years of wear and tear
- High-use environment requiring a durable solution
Sanding & Preparation
To properly restore the floor, we carried out a full sanding process:
- Removed all existing lacquer and line markings
- Sanded through multiple grits (40, 60 and finer grades)
- Eliminated surface damage, marks and inconsistencies
- Prepared a clean, smooth surface ready for finishing
This stage is essential to ensure a consistent finish and long-term durability.
Line Marking Installation
Once the base coats were in place:
- First coat of lacquer applied to seal the timber
- Court layouts carefully measured out
- Lines masked and painted with precision
Sports markings included:
- Badminton
- Basketball
- Five-a-side football
All lines were installed to ensure clarity, accuracy and long-term performance, all to Sports England regulations.
Finishing System
To complete the floor:
- Additional coats applied using Junkers HP lacquer
- Line markings sealed within the finish system
- Built up a durable, protective surface
This creates a hard-wearing finish designed for heavy daily use.
The Result
- Fully restored sports hall floor
- Clear, professional multi-sport line markings
- Durable, high-performance lacquer finish
- A surface ready to withstand continued heavy use
The transformation not only improved appearance but restored the floor’s functionality for years to come.
