Refurbishing an existing court
A cracked or slippery basketball, tennis or multi-sport court does not need to be demolished. Once cracks and level defects are repaired, the tiles click directly onto the old asphalt or concrete: no glue, no curing time, and the court is playable as soon as installation is finished. Game lines are built in with coloured tiles and a damaged tile can be replaced individually.
Recreation or competition: which tile?
