Polymeric Sports Surfaces

There are two types of polymeric sports surfaces we have installed into multi use games areas. These are the Type 3 Polymeric MUGA specification and the Type 4 MUGA specifications. Both are rubberised multisport surfacing designed for use with many different activities such as football, netball, basketball, tennis and multi activities.

Multi-use games areas are very popular and this is because the one court recreational area is designed and constructed to be fit for purpose with several sports. The rubber multipurpose court specification is a rubberised finish surface that has a colour coating applied to provide the slip resistance needed for football, tennis, basketball, netball and multi sports. We have completed resurfacing projects where the facility has an existing macadam surface which they want to transform into a polymeric sport surfacing MUGA, this page talks more about this http://multiusegamesarea.co.uk/resurfacing-muga-upgrade/ Macadam is used as the sub base for a new installation of EPDM rubber to be applied onto.

What is Polymeric Surfacing?

Polymeric surfacing is a rubberised surface which is used in a lot of sporting centres. It is great for competitive use and it meets specifications and requirements. It can also be installed in a variety of colours which is popular for clubs and community facilities. This kind of rubber is a permeable surface type which means that water can drain through easily. The great thing about porous sport surface is that the facility can be used all year round in most weather conditions.

MUGA Surface

Our MUGA surface specialists nearby can offer more information on polymeric sport surfacing if required, so please do not hesitate to contact us. We will try to get back to you as quickly as possible with answers to any questions or queries that you may have.

Type 3 MUGA

Type 3 multisport surfaces are designed and specified to have a high slip resistance of TRRL 75 which is generally needed for netball as the primary activity. The standard size and dimensions of a netball court is 30.5m x 15.25m however on the multiple games areas near me they usually allow for a run off area slightly larger so that other sporting applications like football, basketball and tennis can be played. The sport surfacing is ideal in schools because is all weather flooring as the rubber crumb is porous and therefore free draining from rainwater.

Type 4 MUGA

Type 4 polymeric sport surfacing multi use games area are also constructed and designed in the same specification as a type 3 multisport area with regards to the construction, ground-works, macadam engineered sub base, enclosed rebound fencing and floodlights so the court facility may be used at night time. We can also modify our specifications to get closest to your needs and requirements. The only difference is that the finished sports surfaces is installed slightly different with the TRRL 55 only needed to be achieved since the primary sports are tennis, basketball and small sided football with netball not been the priority use. Specialist maintenance can be completed for both of the rubberised sport surfaces that we offer, find out more about that here http://multiusegamesarea.co.uk/sports-pitch-maintenance/ This process includes pressure washing, moss and algae treatments and repainting to keep the surface in its best condition.

Line Marking the Surfacing

Polymeric sport surfacing on MUGA games areas are generally colour coated with a moisture cure polyurethane anti slip paint in a selection of colours (standard colours being red, blue, green) and then line marking the surfacing is applied to the finished anti slip coloured coating. The line-marking also comes in a selection of colours with most popular being white lines, yellow line marking, blue line marking and finally red sport lines. It is important to have contrasting line-markings installed on multisport courts so that the players can distinguish between the different activities.
