At Top Floors Sports Infra, we make sure you have the sports facility of your dreams. Whether you need top-notch outdoor space for professional, leisure, or a combination of both, our quotes can be customized to meet your budgetary needs while also giving your athletes a great sporting experience.
Which athletic track is ideal for you?
For professionals only
A pre-fabricated, solid or sandwich track offers a robust, absorbent surface for individuals seeking a track appropriate for high-intensity training and competition. The non-porous surfaces of each of these tracks enable water to be drawn to a surface drain system by gravity and slope.
At Topfloors Sports Infra, we have every kind of non-porous track that offers benefits based on your needs and available funds.
Pre-fabricated track
Materials: A coating of latex and vulcanised rubber makes up pre-fabricated rails. They are hard-wearing, have excellent performance qualities, and need fewer maintenance and repairs, but they are a more costly option over time.
Uses: Developed for high-intensity training and competition at all levels. Olympics and other big track & field competitions prefer pre-fabricated tracks.
Cost: more than solid, sandwich, or porous systems, but long-term maintenance and repairs are less.
Solid Track
Materials: Double polyurethane top coats are put on ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber granules that are specially made to form a solid track.
Use: Designed for intense use and top-level competition. Elite-level athletes usually prefer the firmer surface consistency of solid tracks
Cost: Less maintenance-intensive and more durable than porous or sandwich systems, but more costly. Get additional pitch pricing information here.
Sandwich track
Materials: Sandwich tracks are ‘hybrid’ systems made of an EPDM layer and a rubber granule base coated with a polyurethane top coat.
Use: Ideally suited for elite use in international athletics.
Cost: A less expensive non-porous track choice. Long-term cost savings come from the EPDM layer’s several retexturizings.
For communities and schools
Porous tracks are the most often used choice when seeking an athletic track appropriate for low-level competition and training, such as in athletic clubs, colleges, and schools. Surfaces are made to let moisture seep through to the underlying sub-base. A drainage system and porous aggregate sub-base will be included in most athletic tracks.
Materials: The combination of a strong rubber granule base and a polyurethane top coat produces a stable and supportive surface.
Use: Used mostly in sporting clubs, colleges, and schools, it is intended for low-level competition and training.
Cost: Reasonably priced alternative for competing and low-level training.
