6–8 coatsAcrylic Synthetic Court
Multi-layer acrylic for tennis, basketball, volleyball and handball — laid over concrete or asphalt, marked to federation dimensions.
Sports Flooring
Nine sports flooring surfaces for courts, tracks, halls, gyms and play areas — specified around the sport, the hours of play and whether the surface lives indoors or under the Coimbatore sun.
Our three disciplines
One contractor, three surfaces
Playing surfaces
The surface should suit the sport, not the other way round
Ball response, grip, shock absorption and sun resistance pull in different directions. We start from how the space will actually be used — one sport or five, two hours a week or ten a day — and specify from there.
6–8 coats
3–6 mmCushioned Acrylic System
Rubber-filled cushion layers under the colour coats. Takes the load off knees and ankles where a court is played on for hours at a time.
2–4 mmPU Indoor Sports Flooring
Seamless polyurethane for indoor multipurpose halls — consistent ball bounce, controlled slip, and a joint-free surface that mops clean.
13 mmAthletics Track — EPDM
Sandwich and full-PU running tracks in EPDM granule, laid to fall and finished with lane marking and take-off boards.
Maple / beechWooden Indoor Court
Sprung timber on a battened or cradle sub-frame for badminton and basketball, sealed and marked for competition play.
4.5–7 mmPVC Vinyl Sports Roll
Roll-out vinyl in badminton and table-tennis grades — the quickest way to bring an existing hall up to match standard.
40–60 mmArtificial Turf
Monofilament turf with sand and rubber infill for football, hockey practice, cricket nets and landscaped multi-use areas.
6–15 mmGym & Fitness Flooring
Rubber tile and roll flooring for free-weight zones, cardio floors and CrossFit boxes — impact absorbing and quiet underfoot.
10–15 mmPlay Area EPDM
Seamless wet-pour safety surfacing for school and residential play areas, laid to the fall height the equipment needs.
Choosing
How to pick between them
- 01
Indoor or outdoor
Outdoor — acrylic, EPDM or turf, all UV stable.
Indoor — PU, vinyl or timber. - 02
Shock absorption
Low — non-cushioned acrylic, polished timber.
High — cushioned acrylic, PU, EPDM. - 03
Hours of play
Light club use — acrylic or vinyl.
All-day school or academy use — cushioned or PU. - 04
Multi-sport marking
Straightforward — acrylic, PU, vinyl.
Restricted — timber, turf. - 05
Relative cost
Lower — acrylic, vinyl roll.
Higher — PU, EPDM track, sprung timber. - 06
Recoating cycle
Acrylic — colour and lines at roughly year five to eight.
PU and vinyl — longer, with periodic sealing.
Step 1The base decides the courtBase & preparation
A court is only as flat and as dry as the slab beneath it
A synthetic surface is two to fifteen millimetres thick. It cannot correct a slab that ponds water, moves at the joints or was never cured properly — it will copy those faults, and it will copy them within the first season.
- Falls checked with a level and a flood test, so water leaves the court instead of standing on it.
- Moisture tested before the first coat — trapped moisture is what lifts a surface off a new slab.
- Cracks routed, filled and reinforced; moving joints carried through rather than bridged.
- Edges, drains and fencing posts detailed before the colour coats, not after.
Marking & handover
Set out to the federation dimensions, marked to last
Lines are set out from the true centre and diagonals, not from the walls, because very few halls are square. Multi-sport courts get one clear primary colour for the main sport and a quieter secondary colour for the rest, so the playing surface stays readable.
- Court dimensions set out to the governing body standard for each sport.
- Two-pack court paint for the lines — not a general purpose road marking paint.
- Nets, posts, sockets and fencing coordinated with the surface build-up.
- Handover with the maintenance schedule and the recoat interval in writing.

Sports flooring questions we get asked
How long does a synthetic tennis or basketball court take?
On a sound existing slab, an acrylic court is normally six to nine working days for the levelling, cushion and colour coats plus line marking. On a new slab, add the concrete curing period — the surface cannot go down until the slab has cured and dried out fully.
Cushioned or non-cushioned acrylic — which should I choose?
Non-cushioned is the harder, faster and cheaper surface, and it suits schools and clubs where budget leads. Cushioned adds two to five rubber-filled layers underneath and takes load off the players’ knees, which matters where the court is used for several hours a day.
Can you lay a court over an old, cracked surface?
Cracks have to be dealt with first. Static cracks are routed, filled and reinforced; moving cracks and joints have to be carried through the new surface or they will telegraph back within a season. Coating straight over a cracked base is the most common reason a court fails early.
Do you handle line marking for more than one sport?
Yes. Multi-sport courts are set out and marked to federation dimensions in durable court paint, with a clear primary colour for the main sport and a secondary colour for the others so play stays readable.
What maintenance does a synthetic court need?
Keep it clear of grit and standing water, wash it down two or three times a year, and keep the surrounding drainage working. An acrylic court will normally want a fresh colour and line coat somewhere between year five and year eight, depending on use and sun exposure.
