From the construction guides

Before the first coat.

The site

  • Concrete of C25 strength, solid, with no laitance or dusting, cured at least 28 days for silicon PU and 20 days for acrylic.
  • A fall of 0.5 to 0.7% so the court drains. Under a 3 m straightedge, water less than 3 mm deep, at 90% of the test points.
  • Asphalt cured at least 7 days, SMA at least 10. Porous asphalt takes more primer: agree the quantity on site.
  • New concrete: expansion joints cut about every 5 × 6 m, 6 to 8 mm wide and at least 20 mm deep, then filled.
  • Build silicon PU between 5 and 35°C, humidity below 85%, with no rain for 4 hours. Acrylic between 10 and 35°C, humidity below 80%.
  • Concrete moisture below 8% before silicon PU goes on.

On site

How an EPDM granule surface goes down.

  1. A worker checking and preparing the substrate

    01

    Substrate verification

    Asphalt or concrete, more than 28 days old, flatness of 5 mm or better per 3 m, pull-off strength above 2 MPa.

  2. Two workers spreading a green elastic layer

    02

    Primer and elastic granules

    The primer is trowel spread, with elastic granules spread into it to enhance the adhesion.

  3. A worker smoothing the layer with an electric trowel

    03

    Elastic base layer

    Trowelled and ironed with an electric trowel, 8 to 10 mm thick.

  4. A coloured play surface marked out in a school yard

    04

    Positioning and layout

    All the patterns are drawn out as required.

  5. Workers laying coloured patterns of EPDM granules

    05

    Surface layer

    EPDM granules of different colours make the patterns, 5 mm thick.

  6. Blue granules being finished with a power trowel

    06

    Spread, trowel, finish

    The surface granules are spread, trowelled and finished with soapy water.

FAQs

Sports flooring, in short.

Three plastic running tracks, a silicon PU court, an acrylic court, artificial turf and an EPDM surface.

  • All plastic track: A special bottom adhesive, an elastic polyurethane middle layer and a wear-resistant surface layer.
  • Breathable track: A special bottom adhesive, a middle layer of EPDM elastic particles mixed with an environmentally friendly adhesive, and an EPDM particle wear-resistant surface layer.
  • Hybrid track: A special primer, a middle layer of elastic polyurethane mixed with EPDM rubber particles, and a wear-resistant surface.
  • Silicon PU court: A specialized bottom glue, a high elasticity, high strength polyurethane middle layer and an organic silicon modified polyurethane surface layer.
  • Acrylic court: A specialized base adhesive, an acrylic mid-layer and a wear-resistant acrylic surface layer. The elastic version builds 5 mm of coarse and fine acrylic elastic coats.
  • Artificial turf: Artificial turf, quartz sand, rubber particles and a shock-absorbing pad, on a concrete base layer.
  • EPDM walking track: A specialty primer, an EPDM granules base layer and an anti-slip, wear-resistant surface layer.

It depends on the budget, the drainage and how hard the track is used.

  • All plastic: elastic polyurethane throughout, anti nail shoe scratch
  • Breathable: lower investment cost, heavy rain does not leave standing water
  • Hybrid: polyurethane with EPDM particles, for cost performance

Asphalt or concrete, more than 28 days old.

  • Concrete of C25 strength, laid to a 0.5 to 0.7% fall so the court drains
  • Under a 3 m straightedge, water less than 3 mm deep at 90% of the points
  • Flatness: 5 mm or better per 3 m
  • Pull-off strength: above 2 MPa
  • On asphalt, the bottom layer is PSV-102 asphalt concrete base sealing adhesive
