When it comes to tennis court construction, few surfaces offer the perfect balance of performance, aesthetics, and durability like acrylic flooring. At Prime Sports Solution, we specialize in building professional-grade acrylic tennis courts that cater to a wide range of clients, including sports clubs, academies, schools, residential communities, and recreational centers. Acrylic surfaces are among the most widely used for a reason—they’re versatile, cost-effective, and deliver a consistently high level of play.

What is Acrylic Flooring?

Acrylic tennis court flooring is a multi-layer system made from high-quality acrylic resins and silica sand. It is applied over an asphalt or concrete base to form a durable, non-slip, all-weather playing surface. These courts can be customized in terms of color, texture, and cushioning, making them suitable for various types of players and locations.

Key Features of Acrylic Tennis Courts

1. Consistent Ball Bounce
Acrylic surfaces are engineered to provide a reliable and even bounce, which enhances the quality of play. Whether for casual matches or competitive tournaments, the predictability of the surface improves the player’s confidence and reduces injury risk.

2. Weather Resistance
Acrylic courts are designed to withstand extreme climates—be it scorching sun, heavy rain, or humidity. The UV-resistant topcoats prevent fading and cracking, ensuring long-lasting color and surface integrity.

3. Low Maintenance
Once installed, acrylic tennis courts require minimal upkeep. Simple cleaning with water and occasional surface inspections are typically enough to keep the court in top shape. No daily brushing or rolling like with clay courts.

4. Customization Options
From vibrant color combinations to custom logos and texturing for grip control, acrylic courts offer unparalleled design flexibility. Whether you want your court to match branding or just stand out, the options are endless.

5. Multi-layer Cushioning Systems
For those who prioritize comfort and injury prevention, cushioned acrylic systems add shock absorption layers beneath the surface. This significantly reduces stress on players’ joints and muscles – perfect for training academies or senior-use courts.

The Acrylic Court Construction Process

At Prime Sports Solution, we follow a meticulous step-by-step approach to building each acrylic court:

1. Site Evaluation & Design
We begin with a detailed site assessment, checking ground conditions, drainage requirements, and space availability. Based on the findings, we design the court layout, base layers, and drainage system.

2. Sub-base Preparation
The sub-base is crucial for long-term surface stability. We construct it using compacted stone, concrete, or asphalt, ensuring proper slope and water runoff systems.

3. Surface Coating Application
After base preparation, we apply multiple layers of acrylic surfacing. These include:

  • Resurfacer layer: Seals the base and ensures adhesion.
  • Texture coats: Mixed with silica sand for grip and ball bounce.
  • Color coats: High-quality acrylic paint for aesthetics and UV protection.
  • Line marking: Done with specialized acrylic paint that resists wear and tear.

4. Quality Control & Finishing
Every court goes through rigorous quality checks—surface evenness, coating thickness, bounce tests, and visual inspection—before handover.

Why Choose Acrylic for Your Tennis Court?

Acrylic flooring strikes a fine balance between cost-efficiency, aesthetics, and playability. It’s the surface of choice for most public and private tennis courts around the world. Whether you’re setting up a high-performance academy or a recreational court in a residential complex, acrylic offers the best value over time.

Durability: With proper installation and occasional resurfacing (every 5–7 years), acrylic courts can last over a decade.

Speed of Play: Acrylic courts are considered medium-fast. However, adjustments can be made during installation (through sand mix) to modify the court speed slightly.

Visual Appeal: Bright, bold colors and clean lines make acrylic courts visually stunning, boosting the overall look of your sports facility.
