Expert FAQ: Outdoor Court Tiles Industry

Q1: What material is best for outdoor sports tiles?: A: High-impact copolymer polypropylene (PP) is preferred for durability, weather resistance, and shock absorption. Rubber-based tiles are softer but less UV stable.
Q2: What are the key size and thickness specifications?: A: Standard tiles range from 300×300 mm to 304.8×304.8 mm, with thickness from 12 mm (for basic use) up to 16+ mm for high-performance/elite venues. SES S900 measures 304.8×304.8×15.8 mm.
Q3: What certifications should quality outdoor court tiles have?: A: Look for EN14877 (impact/safety), ISO9001 (manufacturing), and sports authority certification (FIBA, BWF, ITF, etc.).
Q4: How are tiles installed and what are the installation standards?: A: Installation is modular/interlocking, requiring a stable concrete or asphalt base (flatness ≤ 5mm in 3m). Professional installation ensures compliance with EN14877/ISO safety standards.
Q5: What is the average lifespan and what factors affect it?: A: 8–12 years for premium PP tiles (like SES S900), depending on UV index, usage frequency, and maintenance. SES S900 tested to retain ≥80% performance after 7 years outdoor exposure.
Q6: How is slip resistance measured?: A: By ASTM C1028 or EN14877 standards, measuring dry & wet friction coefficients. SES S900 achieves a coefficient >0.7 (wet), exceeding industry minimums.
Q7: How does sport court tiles cost vary by brand & feature?: A: Most premium brands cost USD $27–$40/sq.m. Shock absorption, accessories (edges, lines), and certification levels impact price. Bulk and institutional orders can get volume discounts.
