The information in this section is designed to provide guidance to assist our members with the aftercare and maintenance of their courts. We have also included useful information to help those looking to install any new courts or those requiring refurbishment for their existing facilities.
Aftercare and Maintenance
The most important thing to remember is that every floor will require regular maintenance and aftercare. This will preserve the aesthetics but also cruicially the performance characteristics. Not cleaning regularly can lead to deterioration of the playing surface, making it slippery and unsafe for users.

Refurbishment
There are various processes available to rejuvenate your sports flooring without the need for replacing. This includes sand or scrub and re-seal, and re-applying new line-marking. In addition, an existing can be refurbished to reinstate the slip resistance depending on the condition of the existing floor. Options include PU Colour Coating Re-application or PU Re-coating and Repair System. Both systems allow for the updating of line marking and inclusion of a bespoke logo to individualise your facility.
