Maintaining your sport court is crucial to ensure that every game is a great one! As your court experiences wear and tear, there will come a time when resurfacing the sport court is necessary to maintain a safe playing environment.
Depending on the age and frequency of use of your court, you may need to resurface or replace the sport court surface.
The first thing you need to consider is the age of your sport court. If you are using the court regularly, then we recommend that the court be resealed every two years. Resealing prevents cracking and peeling that can affect your game.
You also want to consider how frequently the court is used. If you have a home sport court, you won’t need to resurface as often as you would if you had a community sport court where multiple players are frequently running around and wearing down the surface. As the court absorbs the impact of movement, it will eventually begin to wear down, crack, or crumble.
The condition of the sport court is another major factor in whether or not you need to resurface it. If the oust was installed properly and well cared for from the start, resurfacing might not be needed as often. If the court has been affected by poor drainage or major changes in temperature, it could cause the court to wear down more quickly.
If your sport court is less than eight years old, we typically recommend that you resurface the court. This will likely be the point at which your sport court reaches 75% to 85% of its lifespan. Trying to resurface a court that has worn down past that point will be difficult and costly.
When you resurface your sport court, you create a smooth playing surface that makes the court more enjoyable and safer for players to enjoy.
By resurfacing, you give your sport court new life and save money on replacing the entire surface.
As mentioned above, we recommend courts around eight years old be resurfaced. If your sport court is older than that or has been poorly maintained, resurfacing may not be possible.
If resurfacing is not possible, replacement is recommended to save you money and ensure the safest and most enjoyable sport court performance for your players.
