    Clay Court Systems

    ClayTech is an artificial clay court that more closely replicates real clay than anything else on the market. It also requires the least maintenance of any clay court on the market.

    ClayTech is composed of a quarter-inch polypropylene membrane that gets glued down to an existing hard surface and in-filled with Har-Tru or European brick dust, giving it the look and feel of a real clay or Har-Tru court. Specialized line filler is used to create permanent playing lines that require only occasional freshening. Material can be added to taste on an as-needed basis.

    Its unique construct makes it a court that you can walk away from for six months but have up and running again in less than one hour. Its low maintenance and minimal water requirements also make ClayTech ideal for an indoor clay court.

    Slipsheet Overlay Process

    Slip-sheet is a specially constructed ply felt that is built for strength, flexibility and the allowance of movement from substrates.

    Slipsheet System

    1. After cleaning out cracks, they are then filled with oxyrene epoxy which is left to dry for at least 1 hour before the slipsheet can be installed.
    2. Slip-sheets are rolled out one-by-one. A light layer of epoxy glue is poured onto one side of each slip-sheet as it is being rolled out for attachment to the following sheet.
    3. Primary membrane and fine sand are mixed together and applied using a squeegee to secure the Slip-sheets.
    4. The secondary membrane is applied by squeegee over a burlap (jute) mesh for increased flexibility and strength.
    5. Rock and sand aggregates are combined with a AC waterproof binder
    6. After flooding the court and court-patching any pools more than 1/3 inch deep, three refinement coats (including a second jute coat) are applied by squeegee on top of of the secondary membrane.
    7. The Court is then rolled multiple times for compaction and leveling purposes.
    8. Once the court is devoid of any surface inconsistencies, 3 coats of Plexipave paint are applied by squeegee.
