Tiles for outdoor drainage
Open modular tiles allow water to pass through the playing layer to a correctly graded hard base, making them strong for permanent outdoor public and school courts.

Apollo NZ Global supplies standard PP, cushioned PP, soft-connection and elite TPE modular tiles, plus PM-T, PM-S, professional indoor roll and custom-printed PVC flooring. The right system starts with the users, sport mix, base, drainage, comfort target, installation format and maintenance plan.

Final installation suitability is subject to the existing base and exact product configuration. Open modular tiles are through-draining; roll-out surfaces are not. Apollo NZ does not recommend direct installation of these sports surfaces over natural grass or an unsuitable soft/cushioned substrate.
Project fit
Choose the system around the site — not just the sport.
Rolls for continuous feel
Roll-out surfaces provide a continuous textured playing face and can suit portable, semi-permanent and fixed installations where the substrate is smooth, dry and well prepared.
Comfort is selectable
Cushioned PP, soft-connection, TPE and PM-S provide progressively different impact-management pathways. They should be specified around users and sport rather than medical claims.
Base-first design
Tiles cannot rescue a failed slab and roll flooring follows the substrate closely. Cracking, settlement, ponding, contamination and poor levels should be addressed first.
Lifecycle planning
Spare tiles, repair materials, roll maps, storage cores, seam methods, cleaning instructions and maintenance ownership should be planned before handover.
Public + commercial use
Schools, councils, clubs and commercial venues can select different surface pathways around drainage, presentation, portability, player feel and whole-of-life operation.
