The SkateCourt flooring system is the only surface developed
specifically for skating rinks. Our patented surface design gives quad skates and inlines
the best grip in the industry. The two-level surface relief works in such a way, that the
wheels only touch the top layer for low friction during cruise and speed skating; but for
cornering and accelerating the wheels dig into the lower layer for high friction and wheel
grip. SkateCourt is the most modern technology for general skating, speed skating, artistic
skating and inline hockey and the combination thereof.

When jumping on the suspended tile floor, figure skaters feel the spring effect during
push-off and landings for higher jumps and softer landings. Artistic skaters notice the low
friction for longer push-offs and rolls. SkateCourts all around the world have the same
surface specification, for consistent competitive skating experience.
Speed Skaters recognize the consistent wheel grip throughout the season; there is no
diminishing surface grip because of the failing floor coating. This grip is consistent on
any SkateCourt around the world, making equipment preparation easy.
SkateCourt is a superb surface for inline hockey. It has the same qualities as the floors
used during the inline hockey world championships. The strong wheel grip makes for high
speed skating maneuvers and stops. The surface profile reduces friction of the puck, for
higher speeds and longer glides. The surface perforations prevent the puck from notoriously
wobbling.
The precise locking system with a tremendously tight fit makes a seamless surface. The floor
becomes monolithic, meaning a one piece slab. It does not feel like skating on separate tiles,
there are no sounds, no clicks. Small star-shaped slits in the surface called diffusers
dampen the rolling noise and also allow evaporation of fluids. A special woven underlayment
further promotes the skate feel and feedback. The floor is anchored to prevent it from
shifting.
Maintenance and cleaning are minimum by damp-mopping the dust on a daily bases and perhaps
using a floor scrubber every three months or so. SkateCourt flooring systems are not coated,
eliminating the laborious and expensive process of stripping and coating every season. The
surface will last for more than 15 years with minimum maintenance, providing a consistent
wheel grip.
SkateCourt is not effected by moisture or insects and therefore is unaffected by water damage
in the building. SkateCourt tiles are easily assembled and disassembled and ideal as portable
installation. An installation of a SkateCourt system typical takes one day.
SkateCourt tiles come in custom colors, which can be worked into different patterns of custom
designs. To create a special atmosphere with lights off, we offer fluorescent tiles, which
glow in the dark. These tiles can be arranged as speckled illuminations or lines on the
surface.
