When it comes to basketball courts, mainly indoor courts, several layers must be established to create an effective sports court surface. Most indoor courts that you’ll find have a concrete base with several layers put over it. Without layers of cushioning and vapor barriers, it would be much more challenging to play on and unable to stand up to the wear and tear of play.
Three factors make for a successful basketball court. These factors are:
- Traction
- Bounce
- Durability
If you want an outdoor basketball court, the surface needs to be able to withstand extreme weather conditions as well as long-term exposure to moisture. Asphalt is a standard solution for outdoor play but can break down quickly over time, as well as chip and crack. The surface can be made smoother by mixing different rock blends into the asphalt. Weather sealants can help increase longevity and prepare the court for striping.
