How it is built
The stages, and the site.
- 01Foundation construction

- 03Intermediate coating
- 04Interface layer
- 05Surface layer
- 06Marking
- 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.
Drying
