CLASSIC CLAY |
|
|
Classic Clay is quite simply a revolution in the clay court world, resulting from lateral thinking and many years of testing and development.
|
The Classic Clay tennis surface 'system' incorporates patented technology
to achieve an extremely low maintenance, world-class clay surface that
plays in wet and dry weather conditions.The playing surface retains all
the attributes of a traditional clay court, and introduces numerous unique
benefits. The surface plays like clay, slides like clay, has consistent ball
bounce characteristics and looks exactly like a perfectly prepared clay
court with virtually no maintenance.
The complete, play ready court system is easily installed, easy to
maintain,very cost effective and environmentally friendly. It is suitable
for any upgrade, rejuvenation or new court construction.
If you are considering a long lasting and low maintenance clay court for
your club, resort or home, the Classic Clay surface is increasingly
becoming the first choice of professionals and enthusiasts around the
world.
In reality the surface comprises a combination of synthetic grass fibers
and graded mineral infill which has been dyed and furnace fired to
produce the perfect French Clay colour and play characteristics with none
of the maintenance problems generally experienced with a real clay court.
Some of the most attractive aspects of the Classic Clay system, are the
cost savings.

Zero water usage
Water is expensive, not getting cheaper and a serious consideration with ALL traditional and many ‘artificial’ clay courts. The global water crisis is nothing new and the greatest threat to traditional clay courts in drier regions. Many international regions impose restrictions and serious fines on the misuse of water. Classic Clay is one of the ONLY clay courts that requires no water at all.
Low maintenance
Another primary benefit of the Classic Clay system is the extremely low maintenance. The only requirement is to ‘bag’ or ‘drag mat’ the court after heavy usage and should become court etiquette. This will ensure the surface has the correct distribution of infill. Foreign debris such as leaves, twigs and rubbish should be sifted from the infill and removed.
Looks like a professional 'watered' clay court
Nothing is more attractive to existing and potential members than perfectly groomed, watered and competition ready courts. The Classic Clay system requires no watering but the courts appear to be ‘moistened’ due to the colour pigments used in the treatment of the mineral infill. The colour remains consistent across the entire surface and is UV treated and fade resistant.
Cost effective alternative to traditional clay construction
The new construction of traditional clay courts is fast becoming an unviable consideration for many reasons. Above any maintenance and water restrictions, the initial investment is immense and difficult to justify. The total investment for a Classic Clay system is a fraction of a traditional clay court and has many advantages as outlined.
Increased play time due to better drainage and rapid dry characteristics
Classic Clay courts are the fastest drying clay courts in the market. Play in most cases resumes immediately after a rain shower. Damp weather and continual rain will not stop play, thus vastly increasing total court time in a season.
Cost effective alternative to imperfect existing hard courts
Substandard or neglected hard courts are potentially dangerous, brutal on player bodies and not an attractive proposition for play. The Classic Clay system has the ability to install right over a damaged or cracked hard court (naturally within reason) enabling very simple and easy rejuvenation or upgrading of a court surface.
