SPORTS SURFACES · SUPPLIER TECHNICAL REFERENCE
Compare manufacturer-described surface constructions and identify the technical evidence needed before project specification or procurement.
Information is transcribed from the SMART Group 2026 master catalogue. References to international competition suitability or performance are supplier statements, not proof of World Athletics, ITF or other governing-body approval. Apollo's established flooring suppliers remain available for comparison.

Mixed granule, adhesive and polyurethane base layer with a sprayed polyurethane surface compound. The brochure calls this a competition-oriented configuration.
Confirm layer build-up, nominal/finished thickness, tensile strength, force reduction, vertical deformation, permeability, slip resistance and actual World Athletics test evidence.
SMART 2026 manual, PDF p. 81
Polyurethane-based material system described with mineral fillers, stabilisers and pigments. The brochure positions it for higher-performance track installations.
Request exact system cross-section and material data, thickness tolerances, performance test report, approved subbase and climatic installation limits.
