Backed by its many years of success overseas, MAPEI has expanded its sporting division technology with the introduction of the Mapecoat TNS premium acrylic systems for sports surfaces to the North American market. “The Mapecoat TNS systems have been designed for the installation of brand-new or refurbished sports flooring,” said Fabio D’Amato, Business Development Leader for MAPEI’s Products for Sports Flooring line. “They are especially focused on re-covering existing flooring with the most common issues (moisture, cracks, potholes) with innovative solutions like the Mapecoat TNS Reinforced and Mapecoat TNS Remove systems.”

Mapecoat TNS covers a full range of system solutions for tennis and pickleball, hockey and skating rinks, multifunctional areas, velodromes and urban areas. These cutting-edge solutions address several challenges associated with multi-sport flooring installations including permanent and temporary applications for indoor and outdoor environments, loose-lay applications, carpet-based applications and crack repair. The resulting surfaces offer excellent performance characteristics to help athletes perform to the best of their ability. All of these sports systems offer high UV resistance and low maintenance.

MAPEI’s cutting-edge sports solutions are also certified by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) for tennis courts. And MAPEI is a member of the American Sports Builders Association (ASBA), Professional Tennis Registry (PTR) and Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR).

An integral part of MAPEI’s sports flooring is the innumerable possibilities with custom colors and second-life installations by way of resurfacing existing courts, avoiding total demolition to save time and money on the jobsite.
