Multipurpose rooms – such as those at schools and recreational centers – have a hard time hiding the fact that one purpose is a basketball court. Even if the hoop and backboard can be moved you’re still essentially stuck with the lines on the floor. But now the ASB GlassFloor system could revolutionize this, as it offers lighted lines that are only there when you need it.
The floor is made of glass, ceramic and aluminum – so not exactly the wood floors that we’ve come to know and love/loathe – but this material allows LED lights to be installed as marking lines, and thus make it easy for a floor to change from basketball to volleyball to floor hockey without piling on the lines. And unlike the use of tape for line markers there is no worry about someone tripping on the lighted lines.
