We hear of the benefit of balance in our diet and in exercise training. How about the advantage of balancing your hardwood gym floor? Aacer Sports Flooring offers patented solutions that assist with sustaining balance in gymnasium settings – PowerVent and PowerVent Advanced.
PowerVent Air Flow System
PowerVent is Aacer’s original system and has been incorporated into their installations for 20 years. Strategically placed sensor(s) positioned within subfloor cavities provide a manner to detect elevated humidity. Once detected, the system is triggered to mechanically force air circulation through the subfloor before the ill effects of high humidity are seen on the floor.
PowerVent Advanced Balanced Air Flow System
In addition to features and benefits of PowerVent, our recently released patented PowerVent Advanced system provides a manner to maintain common humidity levels above and below Aacer athletic floors. Hardwood athletic floor systems perform best when moisture content of each component is balanced from top to bottom. This reduces the negative effects associated with uneven moisture such as cupping of flooring boards and related stresses of wood fiber.
By monitoring levels above and below the floor, “PowerVent Advanced” either introduces or reduces humidity levels determined by sensors within the subfloor as well as within the room itself. A range specific to the set point and tolerance related to each facility determines PowerVent activation and function necessary for balanced conditions.
