Understanding the 6 Layer Flooring System
The Raycourt 6 Layer System combines acrylic resurfacing, Proflex Cushion layers, and premium acrylic color coatings to create a durable and reliable sports flooring surface. Each layer performs a specific function to improve surface uniformity, player comfort, traction, durability, and long-term outdoor performance.
Raycourt 6 Layer System on Concrete Base
(Depending On Base Condition)
Raycourt’s 6 Layer System is designed for application over properly prepared concrete bases. The system combines one Concrete Primer layer, two Acrylic Resurfacer layers, one Proflex Cushion layer, and two Acrylic Color layers to create a smooth, durable, cushioned, and high-performance sports surface.
Layer 1: Primer Layer
Purpose: The Concrete Primer layer creates a strong bond between the prepared concrete base and the Acrylic Resurfacer layers. It penetrates the porous concrete surface, helps seal minor pores, and provides a stable foundation for the flooring system.
Material: Raycourt Concrete Primer, a pure acrylic-based primer formulated for concrete sports flooring applications.
Application: Applied evenly using a roller or squeegee after the concrete surface has been properly cleaned, prepared, and allowed to dry.
Thickness After Application: Approximately 0.2–0.3 mm.
Features:
- Improves adhesion between the concrete base and coating system
- Helps reduce the risk of delamination
- Seals minor pores and surface imperfections
- Supports resistance to moisture infiltration from the substrate
Layer 2 and 3: Acrylic Resurfacer Layers
Purpose: The two Acrylic Resurfacer layers help smooth minor surface irregularities and create a uniform foundation for the Proflex Cushion layer. They improve surface consistency and support the durability of the complete flooring system.
Material: Raycourt Acrylic Resurfacer, a pure acrylic-based material that may be mixed with fine silica sand as required for improved leveling and surface uniformity.
Application: Applied in two uniform coats using a squeegee, with adequate drying time between applications.
Thickness After Application: Approximately 0.4–0.6 mm.
Features:
- Helps fill minor cracks and surface imperfections
- Improves surface smoothness and uniformity
- Creates a stable base for the Proflex Cushion layer
- Supports improved surface strength and durability
Layer 4: Proflex Cushion Layers
Purpose: The Proflex Cushion layer provides additional resilience and impact absorption to improve player comfort. It helps create a more comfortable sports surface while supporting consistent performance during regular play.
Material: Raycourt Proflex Cushion, an acrylic-based cushioning material formulated with elastomeric components for synthetic acrylic sports flooring.
Application: Applied evenly using the approved application method to achieve consistent coverage and the required cushioning performance.
Thickness After Application: Approximately 0.6–0.8 mm.
Features:
- Adds resilience and flexibility to the surface
- Helps absorb impact during sports activities
- Improves player comfort during regular use
- Supports a more comfortable playing experience
Layer 5 and 6: Acrylic Color Coats
Purpose: The final two Acrylic Color layers provide the finished playing surface, delivering consistent color, surface texture, reliable traction, and long-term protection.
Material: Raycourt Pure Acrylic Color, formulated with UV-resistant pigments and suitable anti-slip additives for outdoor sports flooring applications.
Application: Applied in two uniform coats using a squeegee to achieve even coverage and a consistent surface finish.
Color Coat 1: Mix the specified quantity of silica sand and potable water with Raycourt Pure Acrylic Color, then apply evenly using a squeegee.
Color Coat 2: Mix the specified quantity of potable water with Raycourt Pure Acrylic Color, then apply evenly using a squeegee after preparing the first color coat as required.
Thickness After Application: Each coat is approximately 0.3–0.5 mm, with the combined thickness depending on the specified application and material consumption.
Features:
- Delivers a vibrant and uniform court finish
- Provides reliable surface traction and grip
- Helps protect the underlying layers from UV exposure and wear
- Supports easy cleaning and routine maintenance
Total Thickness After Application
The complete Raycourt 6 Layer System has an approximate total thickness of 1.8–2.7 mm after application. The final thickness may vary depending on the condition of the concrete base, surface preparation, application consistency, material consumption, and the approved system specifications.
Raycourt 6 Layer System on Bitumen Base
(Depending On Base Condition)
Raycourt’s 6 Layer System for bitumen bases is designed to create a durable, resilient, and comfortable synthetic acrylic sports surface. Applied over a properly prepared bitumen base, the system includes 2 Acrylic Resurfacer layers, 2 Proflex Cushion layers, and 2 Acrylic Color layers to improve surface uniformity, player comfort, traction, and long-term outdoor performance.
Layer 1 and 2: Acrylic Resurfacer Layers
Purpose: The Acrylic Resurfacer layers help smooth minor surface irregularities and create a uniform, even foundation for the Proflex Cushion layers. They improve surface consistency and support the durability of the complete flooring system.
Material: Raycourt Acrylic Resurfacer, a pure acrylic-based material that may be mixed with fine silica sand as required for improved leveling and surface uniformity.
Application: Applied in two uniform coats using a squeegee, with adequate drying time between applications.
Thickness After Application: Approximately 0.4–0.6 mm.
Features:
- Helps fill minor cracks and surface imperfections
- Improves surface smoothness and uniformity
- Creates a stable foundation for the cushion layers
- Supports improved surface strength and durability
Layer 3 and 4: Proflex Cushion Layers
Purpose: The Proflex Cushion layers provide enhanced resilience and impact absorption to improve player comfort. The two-layer cushion build-up helps create a more comfortable sports surface while supporting consistent performance during regular play.
Material: Raycourt Proflex Cushion, an acrylic-based cushioning material formulated with elastomeric components for synthetic acrylic sports flooring.
Application: Applied in two uniform coats using the approved application method, with adequate drying time between each layer to achieve consistent coverage and cushioning performance.
Thickness After Application: Approximately 0.6–0.8 mm.
Features:
- Adds resilience and flexibility to the surface
- Helps absorb impact during sports activities
- Improves player comfort during regular use
- Supports a more comfortable playing experience
Layer 5 and 6: Acrylic Color Coats
Purpose: The final Acrylic Color layers provide the finished playing surface, delivering consistent color, surface texture, reliable traction, and long-term protection.
Material: Raycourt Pure Acrylic Color, formulated with UV-resistant pigments and suitable anti-slip additives for outdoor sports flooring applications.

Color Coat 1: Mix the specified quantity of silica sand and potable water with Raycourt Pure Acrylic Color, then apply evenly using a squeegee.
Color Coat 2: Mix the specified quantity of potable water with Raycourt Pure Acrylic Color, then apply evenly using a squeegee after preparing the first color coat as required.
Thickness After Application: Each coat is approximately 0.3–0.5 mm, with a combined thickness of approximately 0.6–1.0 mm.
Features:
- Delivers a vibrant and uniform court finish
- Provides reliable surface traction and grip
- Helps protect the underlying layers from UV exposure and wear
