PU Sports Surfacing
Firstly the substrate is checked for moisture content and the correct levels. If needed a waterproof membrane or self leveling screed will be applied.
A 6mm prefabricated rubber matt is fixed to the substrate using a two-pack polyurethane adhesive.
This is then overlaid with a two pack polyurethane pore filler, when this has cured a 2-3mm self leveling polyurethane wear layer is applied.
Using large industrial rollers the final top coat is applied leaving an even matt finish.
