Indoor Courts and Surfacing Versa Court MultiSport Indoor Surface The most versatile indoor game court system available today VersaCourt’s MultiSport tile is the flattest, tightest fitting and most rigid multipurpose indoor sport tile floor in the world. With five injection points, our MultiSport floor will remain flat; it will not cup at the corners after a few months like many other game court tile. This is imperative, so the balls bounce the same way at every point of the tile and do not die near the suspended ridges. A sports floor must be solid, like an outdoor basketball court, a wooden dance floor or an ice hockey rink. Our MultiSport tile floor was designed to have the same rigid feel as an expensive wooden floor. Because the each tile lock together so tightly without any gaps or seams, the floor become monolithic meaning that all the tiles locked together become one single large tile. Technical advantages, developed with the input from many multi-sports facility operators: Small, 10”X10”tiles with five injection points –maintaining flatness throughout life Thick, heavy gauge surface structure, virtually indestructible; proven tension-free substructure – Precise, tight connections, virtually seamless –perfect for basketball, volleyball skating, inline hockey, gymnastics and other sport games. An esthetical surface, hardly recognizable as being a tile floor Small slits dampen the drum effect of a solid top, reducing excessive noise Open suspension structure enables spilled fluids to disperse underneath the tile –Small surface slits allow for quick evaporation. Typical solid top tile without openings will often allow mildew to form underneath tile. Our tiles have a tiny profile (texture) for several important reasons including maintaining a positive grip at all times even when damp, while enabling volleyball slides and reducing the visibility of scratch marks and skid marks MATERIALS A. MultiSport Suspended Flooring 1. Description: open grid design shall be 9.842”x 9.842” x 1/2”( 25cm x 25cm x 12mm), high impact polypropylene copolymer suspended modules with open support structures for drainage.
