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.
