Common Resurfacing Problems Faced With Indoor Tennis Courts
• Resurfacing the indoor tennis court present unique challenges that are not faced with outdoor tennis courts . Indoor tennis courts are not susceptible to harsh weather conditions like outdoor courts but some factors can cause wear and tear to indoor tennis court surfaces .
• Acrylic court surfaces dry off by evaporation , and since these surfaces are oil-based , drying it can present a challenge . When water which is essential for heavy coating application over this surface is not properly drained , it collects itself in the airspace over the court and slows down the surface drying process . The aftermath of this scenario is the formation of " marbled " spots on the court that ultimately results in light and dark sections .
• Cooler external temperature and poor ventilation can muddle things up by inducing condensation to " rain " down onto the courts . Discoloration tends to occur when moisture drips onto the court ’ s curved surface , this occurs when the internal temperature is warmer while the ceiling of the interiors is cooled by colder external temperature . To help avoid such a case , it is crucial to ensure that air conditioning or heating systems are turned on to suck out humidity from the circulating air . All available vents , windows , and doors should be opened so moisture can find its way out of the arena . Industrial fans can also be installed to boost air circulation and push moisture trapped in exit doors .
