Aced again

Ace Surfacing

Every tennis court owner likes the idea of a durable, tough surface with excellent traction and bounce. Resene Tennis Court Coating is an ace when it comes to resurfacing or building from new.

Resene Tennis Court Coating

John Single of Ace Surfacing, who coaches tennis in North Queensland noticed the weathered condition of tennis courts and requested more information on Resene product options for refurbishing aged courts to bring them back to life.

As tennis is not played in summer in North Queensland, due to the heat and tropical downpours, Ace Surfacing was contracted to refurbish these courts over the hot summer months. Clients were happy with the result aesthetically, but more importantly the bounce of the ball and the back to new look of their tennis courts. Word spread very quickly in the area, and thousands of litres have since been supplied to rejuvenate tired and old playing surfaces.

Following floods in Mackay, Ace Surfacing was approached to rejuvenate a court which had been covered in silt washed in from the canefields. This court had been written off as being almost non-repairable. The area was high pressure water washed to remove the silt, allowed to dry, spot primed with Resene Concrete Primer, before two coats of Resene Tennis Court Coating in special colours of Resene Space Cadet (ultramarine blue) and Resene Lochmara (chromatic blue) were applied giving a striking coloured back to new finish.

Concrete courts are prepared by acid etching, waterblasting and finishing, while repaints follow a simple system of a thorough clean down, rinsing, spot priming if required and topcoating. Resene Tennis Court Coating can be applied over asphalt or concrete and is available in standard colours – green, dark green and terracotta, while special colours can be made to order.

After withstanding years of hard play, the system on a properly constructed court can be easily renewed without costly removal, relaying or reconstruction work, bringing brand new life with a choice of new colours to existing courts. The complete system is ideal for schools, councils, clubs and resorts that require a durable economical multi-usage facility to play tennis, netball, indoor soccer and other ball sports. As an all seasons surface system the integral colour stays attractive and rich for years.

Resene Tennis Court Coating has an ITF rating of slow, with an average surface pace of 25.6, making it ideal for tennis clubs and courts at resorts, schools and other similar venues.

With the non-skid attractive finish helping with the footwork side of the game, tennis players can cover the court in confidence.
