Flexipave® Tennis Court Systems are International Tennis Federation (ITF) Certified, classified to the Court Pace for Categories 2, 3, and 4.

Flexipave® offers fade resistance, waterproofing, and high durability, ensuring the underlying surface remains protected from weather and climatic conditions. The surface texture can be controlled by using various amounts of fine graded sand. Flexipave® is also available in a textured grade, containing fine aggregate to help control ball speed on the court.

Surface Preparation

A coating system is only as good as its preparation. In the case of the Flexipave® Sport Floor System, a full series of preparation compounds ensures the surface is correctly prepared:

Flexipave® Patching Compound A 2-component repair compound for patching surface defects and solving minor leveling problems.
Flexipave® Filler An acrylic-based paste compound to fill the textured surface of asphalt before applying the coating system.
Flexipave® Resurfacer An acrylic-based ready-to-use filler for fine filling and smoothing asphalt substrates prior to Flexipave coating application.
Flexipave® Concrete Primer A general-purpose primer for concrete surfaces.

Tennis Court Systems

To achieve the specified ITF category of court surface pace required, varying numbers of coatings are applied in layers A, B, C, D, and E. The specified Flexipave® coating for the required layer is mixed on site (with water and silica sand 0.1-0.3mm according to mix ratios listed). Each coat is applied to the prepared surface (see surface preparations) according to the Terraco Flexipave® Category specification and site-specific method statement. The coating is spread and leveled by squeegee. The number of coats per layer and total consumptions for the 3 pace Categories Medium Slow (category 2), Medium (category 3), and Fast (category 4) are listed in the tables below. Consult with your local Terraco technical sales representative for further information.
Flexipave® finishing coats are available in a standard range of colors, matching the most popular tennis court colors in use today.
