The ClimateGuard Series incorporates PCM microcapsules in the flooring core that absorb and release heat to keep the surface temperature between 18-24℃—the ideal range for sports performance. In hot climates (e.g., Dubai, Arizona), the PCM absorbs heat during the day to prevent the floor from overheating; in cold climates (e.g., Norway, Canada), it releases stored heat to keep the surface from becoming too cold and rigid.
Testing in Dubai’s 45℃ summer heat showed the flooring maintained a surface temperature 12℃ cooler than traditional sports wood flooring. In Oslo’s -10℃ winter, it stayed 8℃ warmer. Despite the temperature-regulating feature, ClimateGuard meets FIBA and BWF standards with a ball rebound rate of ≥87% and shock absorption of ≥51%. Early adopters include the Dubai Sports City and the Oslo Winter Sports Arena.
“ClimateGuard addresses a major challenge for sports facilities in extreme climates,” said Dr. Elena Petrov, Limei’s Materials Science Director. “It ensures athletes have a consistent, comfortable surface to compete on, regardless of external weather conditions.”
The ClimateGuard Series launched globally in Q4 2026, with applications in basketball, badminton, and stage venues across climate-variable regions.
