ACRYLIC
Acrylic courts are often concrete or asphalt surfaces coated with several layers of coloured acrylic
paint. Some manufacturers' court systems include cushioning layers.
Performance
The pace of acrylic surfaces is variable, and mainly depends on the amount of sand added to the
paint.
Use
Weather permitting, acrylic courts can be used year-round.
Advantages
Generally durable, and require little maintenance.
Pace can be varied with aggregate and bounce is uniform across the court.
Disadvantages
Drying time is dependent on quality of court construction.
