Base Refiner
Base Refiner is a specially formulated coating used to refine and prepare the surface before the application of subsequent acrylic sports flooring layers. It helps improve surface consistency by filling minor irregularities and creating a more uniform base for the complete flooring system.
Designed for use over properly prepared concrete and bitumen surfaces, Base Refiner helps create a stable foundation for subsequent coatings. By improving the condition and uniformity of the base, it supports smoother application, better system consistency, and a more refined finish across the sports court.

Coverage
Base Refiner typically covers approximately 0.060 kg/sq.ft per layer. Actual coverage may vary depending on the porosity and texture of the substrate.
Correction Depth
Base Refiner can be applied in individual patches to correct surface undulations of up to 10 mm, helping create a more consistent substrate for the subsequent layers of the acrylic sports flooring system.
Correcting Surface Undulations Before Flooring Application
Base Refiner is used to correct uneven areas in prepared concrete and bitumen surfaces before the subsequent layers of the sports flooring system are applied. These images show the surface correction process, from identifying the undulation to applying and levelling the Base Refiner patch.
Every Layer Begins with the Surface Beneath It
Base Refiner is used to correct surface undulations in prepared concrete and bitumen substrates before the subsequent layers of the sports flooring system are applied. By addressing uneven areas at the preparation stage, it helps create a more consistent surface for the acrylic flooring layers that follow.
