About this product
The original Bio-Channel design, relied on by top NCAA and NBA basketball programs. It is shimmable, which lets it correct for uneven or out-of-level slabs.
Key features
- Combines the stability of an anchored floor with the comfort of a resilient one.
- A plywood sleeper floats on Bio-Pads inside a steel channel anchored to the concrete.
- Shimmable for slab depressions or out-of-level slabs.
- Valued for dimensional stability, with the subfloor allowed to move laterally.
