NOVACUSHION

NOVACUSHION is 100% acrylic rubber filled coating. It is designed to be used with the Novacrylic tennis court system when extra resilience is desired. Novacushion is applied in multiple layers (the more layers, the greater shock absorbing quality). We recommend a minimum of 4 coats of NOVACUSHION. NOVACUSHION courts are not “soft”, but do absorb some of the impact between the tennis shoe and the court surface. A soft surface would create a court that is very difficult to run on - similar to the extra energy required when running on a soft sandy beach.
After the application of NOVACUSHION is completed, 2 coats of COMBINATION SURFACE should be applied. This results in a uniform texture and appearance. The NOVACUSHION system, like all of the Novacrylic tennis court systems, is colored all the way through from the top to the substratum. In the event of damage, such as gouges from racquets, vandalism, court equipment, etc., the damaged area will be the same color as the rest of the court. NOVACUSHION is supplied as a concentrate and must be diluted prior to use.
