ATHREN

ATHREN · COMPLETE SPORTS SURFACES

Select the surface as part of the complete sport system, not by material name alone.

ATHREN surface pathways span courts, synthetic fields, athletics, indoor sprung/resilient floors, gym rubber, shock pads and temporary/event sports surfaces.

STANDARD PATHWAYS

Four practical starting packages.

These are scope pathways, not fixed certified kits. Final dimensions, models, evidence and local responsibilities are project-specific.

01COMMUNITY SURFACE

Community Surface

Schools · community

Durable surface selected around use, climate and maintenance.

Core
  • Court / field / indoor pathway
  • Substrate interface
  • Marking
  • Maintenance
Optional
  • Lighting / equipment
Build this brief
02CLUB / TRAINING SURFACE

Club / Training Surface

Clubs · academies

Higher-use surface integrated with equipment and operating requirements.

Core
  • Performance surface
  • Shockpad / underlay where required
  • Equipment interfaces
  • Maintenance
Optional
  • Venue package

03COMPETITION SURFACE

Competition Surface

Regional competition

Competition-oriented system with current technical evidence and installation controls.

Core
  • Competition system
  • Testing evidence
  • Installation requirements
  • Maintenance plan
Optional
  • Spectator / display

04SPECIALIST / CERTIFIED SURFACE

Specialist / Certified Surface

High-performance / certified projects

Exact governing-body/certification pathway where required.

Core
  • Certified exact product/system
  • Accredited testing / installed certification where required
  • Full document pack
Optional
  • Full facility integration
Build this brief

SYSTEM STACK

Coordinate the facility layer by layer.

Every module keeps its own technical evidence and local interfaces while the project brief brings them together.

PROJECT SEQUENCE

Freeze the project in the right order.

Use the programme first, then geometry, system selection, evidence and local responsibilities.

01

Define sport + load

Primary sport, secondary use, hours/week, shoes/equipment and level of play.

02

Assess substrate / climate

Indoor/outdoor, base, drainage, moisture, heat/UV and maintenance capability.

03

Choose complete system

Surface + underlay/shockpad + markings + installation and maintenance.

04

Set evidence pathway

Match testing/certification to exact sport, product and installed outcome.

EVIDENCE & STANDARDS

Keep claims attached to the exact product and installed outcome.

Surface certification is sport- and system-specific: football, rugby, hockey and athletics use different governing-body programmes, and installed-field/facility testing may be required in addition to product evidence.

  • Exact surface product and full system construction identified.
  • Substrate/base tolerances and drainage/moisture requirements confirmed.
  • Shockpad/underlay treated as part of complete system where applicable.
  • Current governing-body certification verified before public claim.
  • Maintenance equipment and warranty conditions included in handover.

NEXT STEP

Turn the pathway into a project-specific scope.

The dedicated brief captures the use level, destination, site, users, capacity and system layers before commercial quotation.
