44 FACILITIES GUIDE | JUNE 2020 CARPET These surfaces provide a resilient and weather-resistant playing area, and are normally laid on a asphalt or concrete base. Carpet courts consist of a textile surface of woven or non-woven nylon, or a polymeric or rubber material, typically supplied in rolls or sheets of finished product. Performance Rubber mat surfaces are generally slow to medium pace. Nylon carpets are relatively fast. Use Polymeric surfaces can be used all year round, as they are resistant to both frost and softening by heat. Advantages Very little maintenance is required. Can be used as a temporary surface. Disadvantages May require certain climatic conditions for installation. Playing characteristics are determined during the manufacturing process. Once worn, they typically cannot be repaired, but can be replaced.
