One acrylic surface manufacturer recently recommended to have indoor courts cleaned with a walk behind steam cleaner (similar to the Stanley Steamer company equipment). Others have recommended to use trisodium phosphate and a soft bristle broom to work on stains on the court.

Before resurfacing courts, many certified tennis court builders include pressure washing the court surfaces in their work scope prior to patching and crack filling.]]> Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:04:06 GMT http://www.athleticbusiness.com/FORUM/topic292-tennis-court-cleaning.aspx Topic "Tennis Court cleaning" a message from jasonv Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:11:53 GMT http://www.athleticbusiness.com/FORUM/topic291-how-to-cool-your-hot-pool-deck-this-summer.aspx Topic "How to “Cool” Your Hot Pool Deck This Summer" a message from pdzamstar

After much success in launching the flagship AquaClimb Ascent poolside climbing wall in 2005 and the Krystal clear panel model in 2011 the AquaClimb team wanted to raise the bar on the poolside climbing experience yet again. The difference between the Ascent and Standard Krystal models was the climbing surface being flat versus three-dimensional. According to AquaClimb CEO, Russell Moy “The 3-D surface makes a huge difference greatly enhancing the climbing experience and providing a truer climbing event.”

How to transform the AquaClimb Krystal into an even greater climbing experience similar to the industry leaders Ascent model was the challenge for the AquaClimb team. Teaming with industry experts in plastics, engineering and production, AquaClimb was able to achieve their goal, the NEW Krystal 3D ‘Ice’ Panel. “There is no challenge that ingenuity and drive cannot overcome” according to Mr. Moy.


The AquaClimb Krystal 3-D ‘Ice’ will add a cooling effect to the hottest pool decks. Once you see these panels in person, you will understand why a three dimensional world is so much better than a single plane flat world. Customer input was a key factor in the development of this product. Mr. Moy feels “Providing the products that our customers want is paramount to keeping up with an ever changing industry” Here’s to the launch of the new AquaClimb 3-D Ice poolside-climbing wall for 2013. Every panel looks like it was individually carved from a block of Ice and what a juxtaposition to the hot summer days at the pool side. ""

We had tile around our pool and when the time came to replace it the cost was prohibitive. We removed the old tile, ground the surface smooth, and had a company come in to put an apoxy coating with a non-slip additive (not paint). Looks great and seems to be holding up well. Don't put a sealer on it as it will turn yellow in time.

Metallix floor coating is a 100% solids, two component epoxy. It is a special formulated epoxy with a metallic pigment. It is roller or squeegee applied to your floor. The finished look is a smooth, glass like finish that has a unique and subtle sparkle. No two floors will ever look the same. There are endless creative techniques that can be used to create a style that you can call your own.
