IMPRESA EDILE DI TREVISAN GRAZIANO

The classic smooth velour flooring dominated the market for performance-oriented tennis surfaces until the 1990s. It was made from a special tennis yarn with filament thicknesses of 30-40 dtex (fibre cross-section). The further development of tennis rackets over the last 20 years has fundamentally changed the game of tennis. The development of rackets has made it possible for recreational players to accelerate the ball considerably. Today, the tennis surface has to slow the ball down more and allow it to bounce higher. The very fast classic velour has almost completely disappeared from the market in most countries as a result of the changed requirements for tennis surfaces. On the other hand, the structureless and unfilled surface is favoured by performance-oriented tennis players. With this clientele in mind, the latest development from Schöpp is a very coarse-fibre velour flooring with a single filament thickness of 200 dtex!

Back in 1978, Ralph Schöpp KG was the first manufacturer to produce a smooth velour surface for an indoor tennis court - since then, more than 2000 velour courts have been installed. The experience we have gained over this period enables us to offer you a truly perfect product today - SCHÖPP®-Classic. A yarn weight of 1000 g/sqm and a pile density of 244,000 pimples/sqm guarantee a surface quality that can no longer be surpassed in terms of sports functionality and durability. sporty, fast ball bounce in the comfort version, high rubber elasticity with good rating comfort life expectancy of approx. 15 years depending on the intensity of use elegant, cosy velour look

Since 1999, we have also been manufacturing ball catcher curtains in-house, which perfectly match the colours of the two-tone tennis surface and give an old tennis hall a new look. The ball catcher curtains are customised in our factory from high-quality polyester fabric (fire class B1). They are hung with snap hooks on a steel cable. Refurbishing your tennis hall with a two-colour tennis surface and ball catcher curtains on the rear eaves walls - and on the gable walls if required - gives you the opportunity to implement completely new colour concepts and to make your customers aware of the refurbishment measures by means of a new hall appearance with an eye-catching effect. In addition to their functionality and good looks, ball catcher curtains also offer advantages in terms of acoustics and thermal insulation.

The combination of our very comfortable tennis surfaces (point elasticity) with a sprung floor substructure (surface elasticity) certainly offers maximum force reduction! Hall operators can advertise that their choice of sports flooring offers the maximum in terms of joint protection and force reduction! On the other hand, a sprung floor only develops its comfort when there is a lot of movement. Players who only move a little therefore feel no additional comfort! In terms of ball bounce (flatter) and general playing behaviour (e.g. acoustics), sprung floors are a matter of taste. As a rule, however, players quickly get used to the changed playing conditions. A compact sprung floor can be installed on top of the existing tennis floor covering, provided the surface is level. There is no need to remove and dispose of the old floor covering! If the surface needs to be refurbished, the bonded tennis floor can be removed.
