Limei Develops Floating Sports Wood Flooring for Retrofitting Historic Buildings
Limei has launched the RetroFit Float Series, a revolutionary floating sports wood flooring system designed for retrofitting historic buildings (e.g., old theaters, warehouses) into sports venues without damaging original structures.

The RetroFit Float Series uses a modular, adhesive-free design that sits atop a vibration-isolating underlayment, eliminating the need for structural modifications to historic floors. It can be installed over uneven surfaces (up to 5mm height variation) and supports loads up to 800kg/m², making it suitable for basketball, badminton, and small-stage performances.
Despite its non-invasive installation, the flooring meets FIBA and BWF standards, with a ball rebound rate of ≥86% and sound reduction of 38dB to minimize noise disruption. It’s available in reclaimed wood finishes that complement historic aesthetics, with custom staining options to match building interiors. The system can also be easily removed if the building is restored to its original use, preserving architectural integrity.
“Historic buildings are宝贵 cultural assets, but adapting them for modern sports use has always been challenging,” said Dr. Elena Marquez, Limei’s Heritage Project Director. “RetroFit Float solves this by blending performance with preservation, opening up new possibilities for repurposing historic spaces.”
The first installation of RetroFit Float is at London’s 19th-century Battersea Power Station, which is being converted into a mixed-use complex with a 1,200㎡ sports hall. Completion is set for early 2027.
