Not All Courts Are Created Equal
When it comes to building a sports court, people often ask: "Should we just pour concrete and paint the lines?" Short answer: Sure, if you want hard landings, slippery surfaces, and constant maintenance.
But if you're serious about safety, style, and saving time, PP tiles (polypropylene tiles) are a game-changer.Let’s break it down.
🪨 Traditional Concrete: Cheap But Tough (On Players)
Concrete might seem like the easy option. It’s common, quick, and familiar. But for sports? It has some serious flaws:
No shock absorption = higher risk of knee and joint injuries
Can get dangerously slippery in rain or humidity
Prone to cracking, chipping, and needing resurfacing
Heat trap- ever tried playing basketball on it at 2 PM in May?
Cheap upfront, yes. But expensive long-term, especially when you factor in medical bills and maintenance.
🧩 PP Tiles: The Player-Friendly Alternative
PP tiles are modular interlocking floor tiles designed specifically for sports. They’re UV-resistant, anti-skid, and come in vibrant colours that make any court pop.
Shock-absorbing and injury-reducing
Quick water drainage = play even after rain
Minimal maintenance, no polishing or repainting
Faster, easier installation than pouring concrete
Portable and replaceable, you don’t need to rip out the whole court if one area gets damaged
Whether it’s for basketball, volleyball, futsal, or multi-sport areas, PP tiles create safe, stunning courts with serious performance benefits.
