When it comes to sports courts, two of the most common surfaces are macadam and polymeric rubber. These specifications may appear quite similar to look at, but they both have unique characteristics that make them different.

Depending on the sports you want to play and the skill level, one of these surfaces may suit your facility better. Below are some of the key features of each specification and the differences between.

What is Macadam Sport Surfacing?

Macadam Sport Surfacing is a popular type of surfacing used by schools, sports clubs, playgrounds and domestic homes due to its wide range of applications. Ranging from pathways to driveways, the surfacing can be used in different situations. However, it’s usually most popular to create outdoor sports areas. See more about tarmacadam surfacing here if you are interested in this product.

Macadam is a material made up of stone mixed with tar. The process usually needs a stone sub-base to be poured on top of the desired surface. Once the stone sub-base has been poured and spread evenly, then the macadam mixture can be poured on top of it. Once set, it’ll need 3 weeks for the oils to vaporise. After that, colours and designs can start being applied.

Advantages of Tarmac Flooring

• Cost effective – Macadam is quite cheap and hardly requires any more money to be spent on it.
• Requires low maintenance – Means you can spend less time worrying about maintaining the surface and more time enjoying it.
• Porous – Water that falls onto the tarmac will start to be drained, avoiding any chance of flooding.
• Fully customisable – When creating the surface, you can choose the colour, designs and lining you wish to have.
• Good ball bounce – Games like football, basketball and netball will be a lot better due to the floor adding a bit more bounce to the ball.
• Slip resistance – A coating of paint can be applied to the surfacing which increases the slip resistance, making it great for children.

Disadvantages of Macadam

• Time-consuming – It can take up to 3 weeks for the surface to be ready for customisation so it’s usually good to book in advance.
• Additions can cost more – When adding things like slip-resistant paint, designs and colours, it can cost you more money and set you back financially.

What is Polymeric Rubber Flooring?

Polymeric Rubber is basically granules of rubber held together by polyurethane (a binding agent) and sprayed with a high-traction, coloured top-coat. It’s most commonly used for surfacing athletic running tracks but is also popular for tennis, netball and basketball courts and multi-use games areas.

When the polymeric rubber is placed on the surface, it is then sprayed with a high-traction top-coat which is the actual playing surface. If lines are wanted as well, they can be sprayed on top of this layer. A shockpad can also be installed underneath the polymeric rubber layer for shock absorption, to avoid any injuries if someone falls over. Learn more about polymeric surfacing here if you’re interested in this particular specification.

Advantages of EPDM Rubber Surfaces

• Range of colours – Can be customised to match your preferences and needs.
• Best for professional athletics and a higher standard of play – Due to the surface is a lot more tailored for athletics, it makes the best surface for it.
• Porous – Again, this surface can drain water that starts to form on the EPDM.
• Shockpad – Incredibly useful to install as it reduces the risk of injury when someone falls over on the surface.

Disadvantages of Polymeric Surfacing

• Needs to be laid on a tarmac surface – This can eliminate many plans you may have to install one of these or it can cost a lot more.
• Can be expensive – With all the additional add-ons, the surfacing can become a lot more expensive compared to other alternatives.

Macadam surfaces are great for leisure use, house use such as driveways, paths and patios and they can also be used for sport facilities. They are so popular in the UK because of their many uses and how durable they tend to be. Macadam surfaces are a relatively cheap option for sports areas, they require a low amount of maintenance, they are also available in a range of colours, are porous all-weather flooring options, long lasting and hard wearing, these are the main reasons why people choose to have a tarmac surface installed in their sports organisation.

Tarmac Surface Foundations

The construction process starts with laying out the tarmac surface foundations. This depends on the client’s design specification, size and requirements. The work will usually go as follows:

1. The first process of the installation is inserting the geotextile membrane; this will help prevent contamination such as weeds growing within the surface.
2. Next we’ll lay out a stone sub base to strengthen and even out the area.
3. When the foundations have been installed, the next process of the tarmacadam flooring construction is to mix the tar and stones together.
4. We’ll then pour the mixture onto the foundations and leave it to set.
5. When the floor has set, we can add the necessary design features to it. This could include line markings if it’s a sports pitch. The features which can be added to macadam are very quick to apply and this is just another advantage of tarmac flooring.

If you’re interested in having a macadam surface installed for a sports facility, playground or other outdoor area please contact us to talk through the costs and different designs we have available.

Our team can alter designs and specifications prior to the tarmacadam surface construction if required. We aim to make sure our clients are happy with the overall construction, which is why we only make use of premium materials and make certain our installations are completed to a top standard.

Installing Macadam Flooring

Installing macadam flooring is very common for multi use sports areas, tennis, netball and basketball surfaces. This is because it allows for a good amount of grip and the necessary ball bounce qualities, which are needed for good playing characteristics. Tarmac surfaces are most commonly seen on driveways and paths, most likely because they’re easy to install, it could be completed within hours and it’s a cheaper alternative to other specifications. Installing macadam flooring for driveways and household uses is different compared to sport surfaces.

The design specification will vary depending on what you’re going to use the area for. If the surface is a cycle path then the stones go through a colour dying process. We’ll do this make them the correct colour, normally this will be reds, blues and greens. If you’ve got a tarmacadam facility as sports pitch surfacing, then line markings are necessary to make it the sports clear and the rules stand out.

Contact Our Team

We suggest that if it is a multisport surface, that the line markings are different colours for the sports which you will play. This is because if they are all the same colour, it won’t be clear and it can be confusing for both the players and the viewers. If it is a single sports court, then we often suggest that the line markings are relevant and bespoke to your facility, this could be having your team colours and it can make it a customised space which meets the design you want. This surface type is also ideal for school playground facilities if this is something you want to know more about.

Please feel free to get in contact with us if you need any advice in regards to costs or designs for tarmacadam surface construction. We would be happy to send you over some product sheets and previous case studies. We’ll also be able to discuss a quote which fits within your budget.

How is Macadam Surfacing Installed?

When getting the appropriate team of specialists to install macadam, the construction process can be done quite simply. The basic process of installing macadam surfacing is to first carry out the preparation work. This consists of excavating the existing surface and laying a geotextile membrane. The great thing about a geotextile membrane is that it can prevent weeds from growing through the surface. This then means that the court will not break up due to unwanted weeds growing through and causing cracks. After this you will need to stone up to the required depth.

Talk To Us

We’ll then mix the stones and tar together to create the macadam surface. After this, we will lay it out over the compacted stone. Once the macadam is laid out and made level it can then be left to cure. If you are going to the surface it is important to wait approximately three weeks after laying the tarmac. This is because we need to wait for the oils in the macadam to dry out before applying paint.

If you have any questions regarding the macadam surfacing installation process, please do not hesitate to speak to us. Our team will reply at the earliest opportunity with details on the tarmacadam surface construction process, so make sure to complete the contact form now.

Tarmac Construction Cost

The tarmac construction cost can vary depending on a number factors. One of the biggest factors which can alter the price of construction is the area size. Obviously it will be more expensive to install tarmac for a larger area. You may find that the rate per metre squared is cheaper for larger areas due to the economies of scale. Another thing which can affect the price of construction is the access to the area and the existing surface. If you have already excavated the area then the preparation works will be cheaper, which will cut down the costs of the entire installation process.

We always recommend completing macadam flooring maintenance to help keep the facility in top condition. There are several things you can do yourself, but we also offer services to help with this. Overall this should lengthen the life expectancy of the facility and ensure it is safe to use.

Tarmac surfaces are a popular choice for organisations like schools and sport clubs within the UK. Hard court surfaces provide excellent ball bounce and slip resistance qualities for facilities such as MUGAs. You can play range of sports in these areas including netball, tennis and basketball. If you want to keep your tarmac surface in great condition, then you should carry out regular tarmacadam flooring maintenance and be proactive with the cleaning schedule.

Contact Us

Macadam Surface Cleaning

In order to keep your tarmacadam surfacing in good condition, you will need to conduct regular maintenance. We highly recommend you carry out professional macadam surface cleaning at least once a year. By cleaning the court regularly you can take off any dirt and debris which could be blocking the pores in the surface and affecting the porous properties of the area. It’s also important to clean the surfacing regularly, so that the surface does not become slippery. If you do not complete routine cleaning, the surfacing could become slippery and be dangerous for users.

Along with pressure washing the area, we would also recommend applying a chemical treatment to prevent the growth of moss and algae. You should really apply a moss and algae treatment once a year to remove contamination and prevent it growing back. If you need more information regarding the chemical treatment we can apply, please contact us now using the enquiry form.

There are two types of maintenance needed to be carried out, these are proactive and reactive. Proactive maintenance is done to prevent pitch issues and reactive maintenance is done when your surfacing needs to be repaired after it has been damaged.

If you don’t have a macadam maintenance plan set out then it can cause further problems, such as more damage, sports pitch drainage issues and loss of slip resistance. This is why it is necessary to be proactive with tarmacadam flooring maintenance; this should include brushing, pressure washing and also applying chemical treatments which will prevent contamination on the surface. If the floor has dirt, leaves or litter on it, then you should remove these as quickly as possible. This is because the dirt from the debris can leave contamination upon the flooring which can block the drainage system.

Please fill in our contact form if you’d like some more information about the maintenance of tarmac surfaces. We’ll send you over some product sheets and prices as soon as possible.

Maintaining Tarmac Surfaces

More thorough macadam surface cleaning could include repairs, repainting or relining. These should all be carried out by specialists to ensure that it is done correctly. Within time tarmac surfaces can become old, tired and worn out if they do not have an appropriate cleaning plan and have a lot of heavy use. The sports surface could need to have a water based court binder applied and also aggregate acrylic spray coating application onto the flooring. This process will improve the appearance visually and also restore high playing qualities which will make it a better sports surface and facility.

Maintaining tarmac surfaces is vital to ensure you extend the life of the surfacing. By carried out maintenance you will be able to get the most out of your money and best value. If you’ve got any questions regarding the maintenance we can carry out or what you can be doing to maintain your surface, please complete the enquiry form and we will respond.

Asphalt Surface Repair

Over time macadam surfaces may become cracked due to excessive use and general wear and tear. It’s important to fix these cracks as soon as possible in order to prevent any accidents or injuries to users. Our team often complete asphalt surface repair for sports surfaces. This includes filling in the cracks using 2mm emerald stone mixed with a polyurethane binder.

Once the cracks have been filled we recommend coating the entire surfacing with a polyurethane binder. This will help to strengthen the entire area and prevent fretting. The PU binder will also act as a glue which will help to make paint stick better if you’re painting the surface afterwards.

If the surfacing has too much damage for minor repairs, we can offer a full resurface. This can consist of laying a new tarmac wearing course over the existing area to create a brand new outdoor sports facility to play on. This can cancel out any cracks in the surfacing and can help to level the area.

Should you have any questions regarding asphalt surface repair and resurfacing, please contact us using the contact form provided.

Water Based Court Binder

The water based court binder can repair damages, such as fretting or cracks upon the surface. When it is applied it can also enhance the durability of the pitch. Specialist court binder should only be applied when macadam surface cleaning is complete. You should always ensure there is no dirt or contamination on the surfacing before applying it. This is because the dirt can stop the court binder from sticking, which would make it pointless for you to do. When installing sports pitch paint coatings onto macadam surfaces, it’s necessary to discuss the design of the facility before the process begins.

There are a range of colours that we offer, these include red, blue, green and purple. If you prefer, we can even apply multiple colours to the area. Some surfaces which we undertake maintenance on just need a re-application of line marking. We’ll then spray line-markings onto the surfacing in a colour of your choice. This is a quick and simple process but it’s necessary for a high-quality facility.

Macadam Surfacing Designs

The process of installing tarmacadam surfaces will usually go as follows:

• Firstly a stone sub base will be rolled onto the surfacing, there must be small gaps in the stone to make the ground porous. The sub base chosen depends on what the surface will be used for.
• The sub base will be evenly spread across the existing area and compacted down.
• Next, macadam stone is mixed with tar and poured onto the prepared base.
• Once the tarmac sets and cures, we’ll need to allow a few weeks for the oils to vaporise.
• Then we’ll apply a colour coating to the whole area if desired, alternatively we’ll just apply sport line markings.
• For a playground, we can apply thermoplastic markings in a variety of colourful shapes.

We can customise the macadam surfacing designs can be unique and to meet your specification. It is now becoming more popular to install these designs at locations across the UK.

Macadam Outdoor Play Surfacing

Macadam outdoor play surfacing is great because it allows you to be creative with the flooring. There are loads of options to make the surface unique for your facility. We can apply paint to a range of outdoor macadam surfaces in several colours. This is an excellent way to quickly give your surface some colour and make it look new.

We use anti-skid macadam paint and this will cover up any old markings which are on the tarmacadam surface. The good thing about the paint is that it is available in a range of colours and this lets you brighten up your facility. It’s vital if you have a tarmacadam surface in a school or nursery that you make it exciting by having games and activities upon the surface.

Thermoplastic marking designs can transform an existing surface into a fun macadam outdoor play surfacing area. This can encourage physical activities and education for children. To install the playground markings, the thermoplastic material is set out onto the tarmacadam and then it is heated at a high temperature until it melts onto the surface. It is a very fast process which is great for schools. It means the children may be out and playing as soon as the markings fully set. It’s also cost-effective for you as we don’t have the costs of multiple days on site.

Previously, paint would be applied to the tarmac but this can fade over time and wear out. Thermoplastic marking designs will last a lot longer and look a lot better because they are brighter. If you’re thinking about installing tarmacadam recreational surfaces for your outdoor area, please get in contact with us for more details. We can provide you with a range of specification sheets and designs as well as an idea of the costs for your project.

Tarmac Sports Surfaces

Tarmacadam is also a popular choice for sports facilities. Tarmac sports surfaces are great for things like netball, tennis and basketball. The surfacing could be installed for MUGA courts too. Once the tarmac has been installed on the facility, you may decide to alter the design by painting the surface with anti slip acrylic paint. This comes in a number of colours to meet your individual needs and requirements.

Sport line markings are also available for activities such as netball and basketball. Since kids are able to participate in numerous physical games, they can concentrate more during lessons so it is a lot easier to take in information. By participating in different games with other pupils, the children are able to develop socially as well as physically.
