What Is Polymeric Surfacing?
Polymeric surfacing is a type of sports surface made from rubber granules bound together with a specialist resin to create a durable, porous and impact-absorbing finish. It is commonly installed in sports courts and play areas where both performance and safety are important.
This type of surface is often used in line with guidance from Sport England and SAPCA, ensuring it meets recognised performance standards for multi-use games areas.
Polymeric surfacing is frequently installed within MUGAs and alongside other sports surfaces to create versatile outdoor facilities.
Types of Polymeric Surfacing
Polymeric surfacing can be tailored depending on the intended use of the area.
Type 3 Polymeric Surfacing
Designed for high-use sports areas, offering durability and performance for activities such as football and general recreation.
Type 4 Polymeric Surfacing
A finer surface finish, often used for tennis and netball courts where a smoother playing surface is required.
Caloo works with you to determine the most suitable specification based on your project requirements.
