The ThermaCore Series incorporates a phase-change material (PCM) layer within the flooring core that absorbs and releases heat to keep the surface temperature between 18-24℃. In hot climates, the PCM absorbs heat during the day and releases it at night; in cold climates, it stores heat from heating systems and releases it slowly. Testing in Dubai (45℃) and Moscow (-15℃) showed the flooring maintained optimal surface temperature with 30% less energy consumption.
Despite the innovative core, the flooring retains professional sports performance, meeting FIBA and BWF standards. It’s available for basketball, badminton, and stage venues, with the same durability and customization options as Limei’s other lines. The ThermaCore Series is particularly targeted at sports facilities in the Middle East, Northern Europe, and North America’s extreme climate regions.
“Extreme temperatures can compromise both athlete comfort and flooring performance,” said Dr. He Wei, Limei’s R&D Director. “ThermaCore solves this problem by creating a stable, comfortable surface while reducing energy costs—making it a game-changer for venues in challenging climates.”
The ThermaCore Series will launch in Q3 2026, with pilot projects already confirmed in Riyadh and Helsinki
