Choosing the Right Synthetic Flooring for Outdoor Courts

Outdoor sports facilities demand resilient solutions. Spier Flooring’s synthetic flooring lineup—including acrylic, PU, and EPDM surfaces—delivers durability, safety, and performance tailored to each sport.

Why Synthetic Over Wood Outdoors?

Acrylic Courts: UV‑Stable & Colorful

Acrylic surfaces are UV resistant, customizable in vibrant finishes, and perfect for tennis or outdoor basketball. They resist fading under sun, offer firm bounce, and support low maintenance Spier Wood & Sports Flooring.


PU (Polyurethane): Versatility in Multi‑Use Courts

PU flooring provides excellent shock absorption, suitable for versatile venues like school gyms or community halls. It supports multiple sports with traction yet stays easy to clean and repair .


EPDM: Weather-Resistant Rubber Surfaces

EPDM rubber crumb provides cushioned, slip-resistant flooring—perfect for volleyball courts, playgrounds, or jogging tracks. It withstands rain, heat, and high foot traffic with minimal upkeep .
