The Benefits of Acrylic

  • Court Design & Build

    Turnkey construction and design services to give you the best looking court with the colours that match your favourite team. From layout and line markings to accent colours and logos, we handle every design decision alongside you, then build it right the first time. No guesswork, no separate contractors to coordinate, just one team from concept to finished court.

  • A Court That Plays as Good as It Looks

    Laykold isn't just paint on pavement - it's a real playing surface. The finish is engineered for consistent ball bounce and true footing, so the game feels the same in the sun as it does in the shade, on a brand-new court or one that's ten years old. It's the same surface used at the US Open, tuned so every court - from a backyard to a community centre - plays true.

  • Colour and Durability That Last

    Nobody wants a court that looks faded and worn after a couple of summers. Laykold's colors are made to resist sun fading, and the surface itself is built to hold up to years of foot traffic, weather, and everyday wear — so it still looks and plays great long after the installation trucks are gone.

The Advantage

Laykold has been tried and tested for decades around the world and for its performance, it has been awarded as the chosen court surface for the US Open, the Miami Open, as well as many other World Tour and ATP Challenger Tour events.

Laykold Advantage system consists of factory textured acrylic paint colors using a blend of silica sands to ensure grip. This system is designed for higher demanding sports traffic. The environmentally friendly nature, and long lasting colours, have made Laykold one of the most trusted hardcourt surfaces in the world.

Laykold® and Laykold Masters® have developed revolutionary, technologically advanced tennis and all-weather court systems using modern chemistry that include renewable resources. The Laykold® and Laykold Masters® family of court surfacing systems offer a variety of impact reducing, performance enhancing court systems for all sports, ages, and athletic ability.

Our traditional Laykold Advantage systems come standard with our full surface application of High Strength Fiberglass Membrane. Our Fiberglass membrane combined with Laykold Acrylic Resurfacer (which has a 250% elongation over competitive products) and Laykold Advantage topcoat, helps prevent premature hairline and small cracks in your surface. We have found this technique to be crucial in provinces that experience lots of ground movement. Applied on asphalt or concrete substrates, Laykold is a 100% acrylic surface with exceptional UV stability, and consistent ball bounce that will be sustained for many years of use. Laykold is recognized and certified by the ITF (International Tennis Federation) for Categories 2, 3, and 4 (Medium-slow, medium, and medium-fast respectively).
