Construction
Poraflex® is installed over a porous macadam surface with a clean stone foundation. Two layers of macadam are recommended in order to achieve better surface levels and provide a stronger court construction.
Performance
Poraflex® is a medium paced surface with a medium ball bounce. Poraflex® has a shock absorbency of 15.2%. This surface has been classified by the ITF (International Tennis Federation) with a pace rating in Category 3.
Maintenance
The primary requirement is to keep the surface free of debris and environmental pollutants, to retain the appearance and drainage performance of the playing surface. If neglected, the surface will become slippery and slower to drain with greater risk of moss and algae growth.
Sweeping, blowing and / or vacuuming are used to keep the surface clean. It may be necessary to apply weed killer and / or moss killer on courts that are susceptible or have evidence of weed or moss growth.
As a condition of the warranty, an annual inspection is required at which time any minor defect to the seams or localised wear to the surface coating will be repaired to ensure the integrity of the total installation is maintained. It is recommended that the court surface is also professionally pressure cleaned at the same time. (Charges for these services are available on application.)
The surface will need to be recoated after 3 to 5 years of play, depending on usage and maintenance practices. The rubber layer is highly durable provided it is protected by the colour coating and kept clean.
Environmental Considerations
The materials used in these surfaces are environmentally friendly, using recycled rubber for the cushioning mat together with solvent free adhesives and water-based polymer coatings.
Proflex Acrylic Tennis Courts
Poraflex® is a high performance porous cushioned acrylic tennis court surface, with spray applied colour coating.
This patented system comprises a high quality 6mm* rubber mat and specially formulated spray coatings resulting in a surface that has optimum cushioning with the added advantage of porosity.
*Varying thicknesses of cushioning mat can be supplied on request.
The surface is extremely useful in rainy climates where traditional impervious courts will retain water on the surface and make play impractical during times of wet weather. Because Poraflex® is porous there is no water retention therefore play throughout the year can be greatly extended.
Poraflex® spray coatings can be adjusted to meet the slip resistance requirements of sports such as netball, basketball and five-a-side football making it an ideal surface for MUGA's.
As games areas often require different levels of cushioning and resilience depending on their main use, age group or special needs of children etc, the mat can be supplied in thicknesses ranging from 4mm to 10mm in order to suit all purposes.
The porous cushioned acrylic tennis court surface makes it ideal for games areas in schools and youth centres where year round play is required.
Warranty
The Poraflex® surface is installed with the benefit of a three year warranty against any faults arising as a consequence of defective materials or workmanship. An annual inspection is required as a condition of the warranty terms.
