FAQs
Why does a newly paved court still need acrylic surfacing? Pavement provides the court’s supporting base, while an acrylic system creates the finished playing surface above it. The coating supplies the color and texture associated with the court, and striping establishes the game boundaries. New pavement must be prepared and allowed to cure as required by the selected system before coating begins. Treating paving and surfacing as separate construction stages helps the owner understand why a newly paved area is not yet a completed athletic court.
What can be customized during court resurfacing? Court colors and markings can be coordinated when the playing finish is renewed. Contrasting colors can distinguish the active playing area from the space around it, while logos or lettering can identify a school, team, or facility. The design also needs to keep game boundaries easy to recognize. Reviewing the color palette and graphics before installation allows those choices to be incorporated into the resurfacing work rather than added without a coordinated layout.
