The success of acrylic playground flooring is based on a multi-layer system designed with scientific precision for optimal performance. This system, which is 12 to 5 layers depending on the requirements and type of use, represents an engineering masterpiece that combines science and art in sports flooring design.
The base coat consists of a specialized primer that ensures perfect adhesion between the substrate and the upper acrylic layers. This primer is not just an adhesive, but a complex chemical system that interacts with both the top and bottom surfaces to create a strong molecular bond that ensures the layers do not separate even under the harshest conditions of use.
The resurfacing layer comes after the primer and plays a crucial role in achieving the desired surface level of the final surface. This layer fills the pores and fine unevenness in the base surface, creating a perfect base for the following layers. The resurface formula contains fine particles of quartz and other fillers that give the layer excellent mechanical properties.
Multiple cohesive layers are the heart of the Acrylic flooring system, determining the level of comfort, shock absorption and overall resilience of the floor. These layers are made up of an advanced blend of SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber) and other additives that give the floor its unique resilience properties.
The final layers of acrylic coating determine the surface characteristics of the floor, including color, texture and abrasion resistance. These coatings contain high-quality UV-resistant pigments and additives that improve slip and abrasion resistance.

The International Tennis Federation (ITF) is the ITF’s primary reference for tennis court standards around the world, and the acrylic court floors we install at Technotrade Sports meet and exceed these standards under ITF’s rigorous coverage. Standards for multiple aspects of floor performance including surface speed, ball bounce, skid resistance, and shock absorption.
The speed of the surface is measured using the Court Pace Index () which determines how fast or slow the surface is to play on. Acrylic court surfaces can be designed to achieve different speed levels depending on usage requirements, from fast surfaces suitable for offensive play to slow surfaces that favor defensive play.
The bounce of the ball must be uniform and consistent across the entire surface of the court, and this requires high precision in applying the layers and ensuring uniformity of thickness. ITF standards set specific ranges for the height of the ball bounce when dropped from a certain height, and our acrylic flooring meets these standards with high precision.
Basketball courts require different performance characteristics than tennis courts, and the standards reflect these special requirements. Acrylic flooring for basketball courts must provide proper ball bounce, high slip resistance, and adequate shock absorption to protect players from injuries.
Slip resistance is measured using the coefficient of friction, which determines how well players can control their movement on the surface. Acrylic court floors can be designed to achieve an optimal coefficient of friction that balances performance and safety, allowing players to move quickly and stop abruptly without the risk of slipping or injury.
Shock Absorption Force is measured by the Force Deformation Ratio () which determines Reduction, how well the floor is able to absorb the energy generated when players land. This criterion is crucial in protecting players’ joints and minimizing the risk of long-term injuries.
Volleyball courts require a high level of safety due to the nature of the game, which involves high jumps and frequent landings. Standards that place special emphasis on shock absorption, slip resistance, and overall player comfort.
