A school court serves hundreds of children at break time as well as PE lessons. The surface must give grip, clean easily and be renewable during the summer holiday.
Heavy, multi-purpose use
A school court is used all day for breaks, lessons and after-school activities. It should be planned to serve several sports and games at once.
Safety
Where children run and fall, grip and a smooth surface without sharp edges matter. Sand-filled acrylic layers give grip in dry and wet weather.
Acrylic or rubber?
Acrylic gives an even playing surface for basketball, volleyball and handball lines. Rubber is better for play and fall zones. Many school yards use both.
When to install
Outdoor acrylic needs dry, mild weather. The summer holiday is ideal both for weather and because the school is empty.
Maintenance
Regularly sweeping leaves and sand and fixing spots where water ponds extends the surface's life.
