Silica Sand
Silica Sand serves as an important aggregate in acrylic sports flooring formulations. It helps achieve the required surface texture, material consistency, and overall system performance. The selected particle size supports its use in compatible flooring layers. The specific sports flooring system determines the required particle size.
Fine Silica Sand serves as the primary grade across most Raycourt acrylic sports flooring applications. Raycourt provides Coarse Silica Sand for specific system requirements. These systems may require a larger aggregate profile. Together, both silica sand grades offer flexibility when selecting the appropriate aggregate. They support different flooring formulations and application needs.
Two Silica Sand Grades for Different Flooring Requirements
Raycourt offers Silica Sand in Fine and Coarse grades. These grades allow users to select the appropriate aggregate size. The specific acrylic sports flooring formulation determines the required grade. Each system layer may require a different aggregate profile.
Fine Silica Sand
Fine Silica Sand features a smaller and more refined particle size. Raycourt uses this grade across most acrylic sports flooring applications. It supports consistent material blending and controlled surface texture. It helps provide a controlled aggregate texture and consistent material profile when incorporated into compatible flooring formulations.
Coarse Silica Sand
Coarse Silica Sand contains larger particles for specific flooring system requirements. It supports applications that require a more pronounced aggregate texture. It also helps create a defined surface profile where required. Its use depends on the formulation and characteristics required for the particular flooring layer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about sports flooring materials, acrylic flooring systems, product applications, installation, maintenance, performance, and more.
What is Silica Sand used for in acrylic sports flooring?
Silica Sand is used as an aggregate in compatible acrylic sports flooring formulations to help achieve the required texture and surface profile within specific flooring layers.
What is the difference between Fine and Coarse Silica Sand?
The main difference is particle size. Fine Silica Sand has smaller particles, while Coarse Silica Sand has larger particles and is selected where a more pronounced aggregate texture is required.
Which type of Silica Sand is commonly used in sports court flooring?
Fine Silica Sand is the primary grade used across most acrylic sports flooring applications. Coarse Silica Sand is selected for specific system requirements where a larger aggregate profile is needed.
How is the correct Silica Sand grade selected?
The correct grade is selected according to the flooring product, system formulation, required aggregate texture, and specifications of the particular flooring layer.
Does the particle size of Silica Sand affect the flooring system?
Yes. Different particle sizes can contribute to different aggregate textures and surface profiles, which is why the appropriate grade is selected according to the requirements of the flooring formulation.
