Andiwilson Tennis Court Flooring for Consistent Pace and Bounce

Tennis court flooring must deliver predictable ball bounce, controlled surface pace and reliable footing for stopping and turning. Andiwilson reviews surface system, base construction, drainage and line marking before specification. Illustrative projects include an outdoor acrylic hard court, an indoor carpet court and a multi-use sports hall. Surface pace is matched to the playing standard, from slower recreational courts to faster competition surfaces. Base fall, crack repair and curing times are agreed early. Court orientation and line dimensions follow current rules. Suitability should be confirmed against current technical documents and the facility's playing programme.

Case Study

Outdoor Acrylic Hard Court with Cushioned System

An illustrative outdoor tennis facility used a cushioned acrylic system over an asphalt base across two courts. The base was checked for fall, cracking and drainage before patching and priming. A medium-pace surface was selected for club play, with line markings following standard dimensions. Work was scheduled in dry weather, and the surface cured before play resumed. The club agreed sweeping and annual surface review. Two spare containers were stored. The brief focused on bounce consistency, drainage and line accuracy, with suitability checked against current technical documents.

Indoor Carpet Court for Year-Round Training

An illustrative indoor training centre used a 6 mm tennis carpet over a shock pad across three courts. The carpet was chosen for consistent slide and low glare under hall lighting. Lines were set out from approved drawings, and net post sockets were checked before installation. The subfloor was tested for flatness and moisture. Coaches agreed daily sweeping and quarterly seam inspection. Two spare rolls were retained. The brief addressed slide control, joint continuity and indoor maintenance, with suitability confirmed against current documents and the training schedule.

Multi-Use Sports Hall with Line Separation for Tennis

An illustrative community sports hall used a 5 mm polyurethane surface for tennis and other indoor sports. Tennis lines were marked in a distinct colour, and net post sockets were set before the surface was laid. The contractor checked subfloor flatness and moisture. Works were phased over a week to keep the hall partly open. Staff agreed daily dust control and prompt spill removal. One spare container was stored. The brief focused on multi-sport line clarity, grip and joint stability, with suitability checked against current technical documents and the hall's booking programme.

Tennis court flooring covers several systems: acrylic hard courts outdoors, carpet or polyurethane indoors, and hybrid surfaces for multi-use halls. Each system affects ball bounce, surface pace and slide. Andiwilson supports projects by reviewing base type, drainage, surface system, line marking and court orientation before order. Illustrative specifications include cushioned acrylic over asphalt, 6 mm carpet over shock pad, and 5 mm polyurethane for shared halls. Base preparation usually covers fall correction, crack repair and priming, while curing times and weather windows affect outdoor programmes. Line markings are set out from approved drawings, and net post sockets or weighted bases are agreed before installation. Surface pace is matched to the playing standard, from slower recreational courts to faster competition surfaces. Andiwilson provides care notes covering sweeping, spill removal and periodic surface review. Performance depends on the selected system, base and maintenance, so project teams should confirm current technical documents and installation guidance before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do acrylic and carpet tennis courts differ?

Acrylic hard courts are common outdoors and offer predictable bounce with adjustable pace. Carpet courts are usually indoors and provide consistent slide and low glare. Andiwilson advises comparing base type, drainage, pace and current technical documents before choosing a system for the facility.
Outdoor bases usually need fall to drains, crack repair, cleaning and priming before the surface is applied. Asphalt and concrete behave differently. Andiwilson advises checking moisture, flatness and drainage before work begins, and confirming current installation guidance for the chosen base.
Lines are set out from approved court drawings and applied with compatible marking paint or tape, depending on the system. Colours and widths should be agreed in advance. Andiwilson advises checking line accuracy and cure times before play resumes, and confirming current marking guidance.
Yes, polyurethane and some acrylic systems can support tennis plus other sports. Line colours should separate courts clearly. Andiwilson advises agreeing line layouts and surface type against all intended sports before specification, and checking current technical documents.
Routine care usually involves sweeping or blowing debris and prompt removal of leaves and spills. Outdoor courts may need annual surface review. Andiwilson provides care notes, but cleaning products and repair methods should be checked against the selected system and current recommendations.

Surface Pace and Playing Standard

Surface Pace and Playing Standard

Surface pace affects how the ball behaves and how players adjust their game. Andiwilson discusses pace, texture and system type against the playing standard. In an illustrative outdoor facility, a medium-pace cushioned acrylic was selected for club play. In an indoor centre, carpet provided consistent slide. The aim is a surface matched to the programme, not a universal pace. Current technical documents and samples should be confirmed before ordering.
Base Drainage and Crack Repair

Base Drainage and Crack Repair

Outdoor tennis courts depend on base fall and drainage to shed rainwater. Andiwilson discusses fall, drain positions and crack repair before specification. In an illustrative outdoor project, the asphalt base was checked for fall, cracking and drainage before patching and priming. Standing water and poor fall can shorten surface life. The aim is a base that supports the chosen system, not a universal fall figure. Current documents and site survey results should be confirmed.
Line Layout and Court Orientation

Line Layout and Court Orientation

Line layout and court orientation affect play and safety. Andiwilson discusses line colours, widths and orientation from approved drawings. In an illustrative multi-use hall, tennis lines used a distinct colour, and net post sockets were set before the surface was laid. In an outdoor facility, lines followed standard dimensions. The approach supports accurate lines, but final dimensions and tolerances should be verified against current rules before installation.
