The materials used in these surfaces are environmentally friendly, using recycled rubber for the cushioning mat, together with solvent free adhesives and water based polymer coatings.
Poraflex is a high performance water permeable cushioned acrylic surface.
This newly patented system comprises a high quality 6mm* rubber mat and specially formulated spray coatings resulting in a surface that has optimum cushioning with the added advantage of porosity. The surface is extremely useful in rainy climates where traditional impervious acrylic courts will retain water on the surface and make play impractical during times of wet weather.
*Varying thicknesses of cushioning mat can be supplied on request.
Because Poraflex is free draining, there is no water retention therefore the courts use throughout the year can be greatly extended.
As well as being extremely durable and resistant to wear, the cushioning effect will remain constant throughout seasonal temperature variations and over many years of use.
Because the cushioning mat is prefabricated to a uniform thickness this will allow a true ball bounce on all areas of the court.
Poraflex spray coatings can be adjusted to meet the slip resistance requirements for other sports such as netball, basketball and five-a-side, this makes it ideal for MUGAs.
As games areas often require different levels of cushioning and resilience depending on their main use, age group or special needs of children, etc, the rubber mat can be supplied in thicknesses ranging from 4mm to 10mm to suit all purposes.
The FREE DRAINING surface makes it ideal for games areas in schools and youth centres where ALL YEAR PLAY is required.
