Specialist sports surface system for indoor courts, has been developed and manufactured by Sports Coatings .
Sports Coatings technical sales manager Duncan Wilson commented, "The Proflex system is easy to apply, however we always offer to be on hand to provide technical support to contractors and in this case, it was the first skating rink where Sports Coatings systems have been used".
The Proflex system provides an exceptionally durable surface, providing good grip and play characteristics.
Application of the system involved a tarmac resurfacer to provide the smooth surface required, followed by two coats of coloured acrylic wear layers and a coloured acrylic top coat.
Finally the playing lines were applied using Sports Coatings water-based acrylic paint.
Vastly experienced in the technology of outdoor and indoor sports surfaces, the success of this Sports Coatings system has led to orders for three further installations in Seoul.
