Sports Court Flooring

Acrylic court systems are built up in coats. More coats means more cushioning, better wear and a longer interval before recoating — but the right answer depends on how many hours the court will actually be played on.

A school or society court plays perfectly well on a mid-range system. A club or academy court used for hours every day earns back the cost of a cushioned build-up in reduced player injury and a longer resurfacing cycle.

In an acrylic system, how fast the court plays is set by the grade and quantity of silica sand in the top coats. More sand slows the court and raises the bounce; less sand speeds it up.

This is a specification decision, not an accident. Tell us the level and style of play you want and we will build the pace into the system.

Overlaid markings let a single court carry basketball with badminton, pickleball or volleyball. Three sets of lines is the practical limit before the court becomes hard to read in play.

Deciding this before construction costs almost nothing, because the extra cost is in line marking rather than in the surface. Adding markings after the court is finished is far more disruptive.
