Surfaces engineered for every sport

A basketball court needs consistent bounce and grip on hard lateral cuts. A badminton court needs controlled slip and low glare. A running track needs energy return. A turf pitch needs stud traction and ball roll.

These pull in different directions, which is why a general-purpose floor plays every sport adequately and none of them well.

Court dimensions are set by the governing bodies, but the number that catches people out is run-off — the clear space around the playing area. A court squeezed onto a plot with no run-off is unsafe and unpleasant to play on.

Send us your plot dimensions before you commit. We will tell you what genuinely fits, including the run-off, rather than what fits on paper.

Where space or budget is limited, one court with overlaid markings can carry two or three sports. Three sets of lines is the practical limit before the court becomes hard to read during play.

Deciding this before construction costs almost nothing, since the extra cost is line marking rather than surface.
