What kinds of surfaces are available?
Acrylic color coatings are standard hard court surfaces. These are comprised of resurfacer coats for blending/smoothing and color coats for texture and aesthetics. Cushioned surfaces are installed on hard-court substrates, such as concrete or asphalt. The cushioned surface can either be an acrylic-and-rubber build up system or a textile product. There are several options for each type of cushioned surface, all with varying degrees of cushion. Sand-filled Turf surfaces can be installed on either concrete, asphalt or a properly prepared gravel base. These surfaces are finding a niche in the industry as a rehabilitative surface, being placed over severely cracked substrates. There are several manufacturers of these surfaces, each with certain attributes. Har-Tru Clay surfaces are comprised of aggregate bases, with crushed granite as the actual play surface.
