Q.
Why shouldn't I just put down an asphalt or concrete court?
A. There are a number of good reasons:
1. Play characteristics. PlayMaker game court tiles
create a consistent playing surface with solid rebound characteristics, great traction, and
exact play area definition.
2. Health. PlayMaker tiles provide a suspended
court surface for superior protection from the trauma joints, bones and ligaments get from running and jumping on bare concrete or asphalt surfaces. In addition, PlayMaker tiles
also have horizontal "give" to help relieve torque exerted on joints through sudden stops and sharp
turns during spirited play.
3. Cost. Playmaker tiles are, initially, more expensive than a plain concrete or
asphalt surface alone. Yet over time the tiles will more than pay for themselves,
dramatically reducing maintenance
costs an unimproved asphalt or concrete court surface requires.
Does your current court do that? |

Q.
Are PlayMaker Court tiles hard to assemble?
A. Absolutely not! Each 12" Playmaker
tile has loops on two edges and interlocking hooks on the other two edges.
The tiles literally "snap" together. It's so easy you
can get your kids to build your game court for you! (Suitable
substrate required, of course)

Q.
Do I need any special tools?
A. No. Ordinary, everyday tools
found in most homeowners' garages or toolboxes will suffice. About the only
tool that is required is a good (lengthy) tape measure to help
you orient and lay out the game court on your available
subsurface. |

Q.
How do the tiles respond to rain or other wetness?
A. PlayMaker tiles are designed to shed water, and their textured surface and
polypropylene construction provide superior traction in wet conditions. Playmaker tiles sit 3/4 of an inch off the subsurface, and thus avoid any puddles caused by water accumulation on uneven
surfaces - like your old court, perhaps? The height of the tile also
helps eliminate "birdbath" backsplash from the subsurface,
so gaming activities may resume almost immediately after a rainstorm. |

Q.
Do the tiles get dirty?
A. No more than any other surface, and they are quite easy to clean. The
durable polypropylene surface sheds dirt and resists stains. Also, individual tiles can be easily picked up for
more thorough
cleaning with a mild detergent solution and a sponge or old
toothbrush. |

Q.
There was an accident that damaged some tiles, now what?
A. Even though PlayMaker Court tiles are very tough,
accidents do happen. All you have to do is "un-snap"
only the damaged tiles and replace them with new ones. That's
why we recommend getting a few extra tiles when placing your initial
order. (Already used them
up? Minimum order is just 10 tiles in any standard color!) |
