Planning guidance
How Apollo narrows the sports-flooring pathway
The best surface depends on more than the sport name. Base condition, indoor or outdoor use, drainage, comfort, impact level, portability and maintenance all affect whether a modular tile, continuous roll-out surface, rubber system or sled turf is the better starting point.
Start with the supporting base
A stable concrete or asphalt base gives the widest range of court-surface options. Existing painted courts can also be reviewed, but condition, level changes, cracks and drainage still matter. Natural grass or soft ground is not treated as a direct-finish base for Apollo court tiles or roll-out systems.
Modular versus continuous
Open modular tiles can make individual replacement straightforward and allow water to pass through the playing layer when the base below is correctly graded. Continuous roll-out surfaces create a different playing and maintenance pathway, with seams, fixing method, base preparation and drainage requiring separate review.
Gym and functional fitness
Commercial gym areas need a different selection logic from court sport. Free-weight zones, general training, cardio areas and HYROX-style sled lanes can require different surface build-ups within one facility. Apollo reviews impact, transitions, equipment layout and acoustic requirements as part of the flooring brief.
Common planning questions
Is one sports surface suitable for every activity?
Usually not. Multi-sport courts can use one coordinated surface, but gym impact zones, sled turf, indoor halls and outdoor courts have different performance and maintenance requirements.
Does through-surface drainage remove the need for base drainage?
No. An open modular surface can let water pass through the tile layer, but the supporting base still needs suitable falls and a practical route for water to leave the site.
