Selwyn House School

Project context

Selwyn House School, located in Westmount, required the replacement of its existing 8,000 square foot hardwood gymnasium floor. The school places strong emphasis on physical education and athletics as part of students’ overall development, which requires a high-quality flooring solution.

The existing system had sustained significant water damage and no longer met the performance and safety standards required for an active school environment.

Challenge and objectives

Advantage Sport was mandated to fully replace an ineffective flooring system with a high-performance hardwood sports floor.

Primary objectives included:

• Complete removal of the damaged system
• Installation of a high-performance hardwood floor
• Improved shock absorption and structural stability
• Durability suited to intensive school use
• Support for competitive athletic programs, particularly basketball
  

The challenge was to modernize the athletic infrastructure while ensuring safety, performance, and long-term durability.

Technical Solution

Following inspection, it was confirmed that a full replacement was necessary. Advantage Sport installed a ClutchCourt Trainer 3 system, a hardwood sports flooring solution designed for competitive school environments.

This system represents a significant upgrade from the previous surface, offering improved ball rebound consistency, optimized shock absorption, and enhanced wear resistance. The new floor delivers a substantially higher level of performance suited to basketball and other indoor sports.

Results and benefits

The gymnasium now features a durable, high-performance hardwood surface aligned with the school’s athletic standards.

The benefits include :

• Hardwood surface suitable for school-level competition
• Enhanced basketball performance
• Improved stability and shock absorption
• Superior durability compared to the previous system
• Full modernization of the athletic infrastructure
  

The Selwyn House Gryphons are now equipped with an optimal environment for a dynamic and competitive basketball season.
