Pickleball Court Discoloration: Solutions on Court Fading for Modular Sport Tile

In the realm of sports flooring, occasional challenges like sport tile discoloration and residue buildup can arise, impacting both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the surface.

Sport Tile Discoloration

Recently, a client brought to our attention the presence of residue on their SportGame PB Surface, prompting us to delve into the issue collaboratively as a team.

Upon thorough examination, we identified the residue as water stains, likely stemming from water overspray or pooling on the surface.

Our team swiftly devised a multi-pronged approach to address the issue comprehensively.

Solution to hardwater stains on sport flooring

First and foremost, we recommended a thorough power wash combined with gentle scrubbing to effectively remove the residue. Additionally, we emphasized the importance of rectifying any sources of water overspray, such as malfunctioning sprinklers, to prevent further buildup.

1. A thorough powerwash with light scrubbing will effectively remove residue build up.

However, conventional cleaning methods might not always suffice. In instances where stubborn residue persists, we suggested using CLR, a potent cleaning agent known for its efficacy in tackling tough stains. However, we emphasized the importance of multiple applications and vigorous scrubbing with a heavy-duty bristle brush for optimal results.

2. For more stubborn stains and tile discoloration, use a stain remover with vigorous scrubbing and a heavy-duty bristle brush.

We also underscored the significance of prevention in mitigating future challenges. To this end, we outlined key preventative measures that our team and clients can undertake during the installation and maintenance of sport flooring.

Prevent your Court from Hard Water Stains

  • Maintain a clear perimeter around the court to prevent grass encroachment

  • Ensure that sprinklers are positioned at least 12 inches away from the surface.

  • Monitor water overspray diligently, particularly during windy conditions, to minimize the risk of residue buildup.

Additionally, we explored the phenomenon of water pooling in low spots within the concrete substrate. Pooling of dirt and residue can cause unsightly marks on surfaces. While our resilient tiles are designed to withstand such conditions, proactive measures such as proper drainage and regular inspection can help mitigate potential issues before they escalate.

In conclusion, our commitment to customer satisfaction extends beyond the initial purchase to encompass ongoing support and transparency. By addressing concerns promptly, offering practical solutions, and empowering our clients with preventative measures, we strive to ensure a positive experience with our sport flooring products.

As always, we encourage our customers to contact our dedicated support team for any assistance or guidance they may require. Together, we can uphold the integrity and performance of our sport flooring solutions, ensuring years of enjoyment and satisfaction for all.
