ULTRACUSHION
is Nova Sports’ superior tennis court surface system. The shock absorbing qualities are achieved by applications of a base consisting of multiple coats of ULTRACUSHION with a special squeegee. ULTRACUSHION is a mixture of various sizes of EDPM rubber granules bound with an especially elastic acrylic blend. This application cures as a rubber filled acrylic base mat that builds thickness of the cushion surface. Two or three coats of COMBINATION SURFACE are applied over the cushion surface. This color application will create a uniform texture and attractive color finish without decreasing the comfort of the entire system. ULTRACUSHION tennis courts are easy on tennis players.
The surface has the ability to absorb the shock of impact and will return the energy absorbed by the tennis ball. Players have reported that they are less fatigued after playing on ULTRACUSHION.
ULTRACUSHION is recommended for both outdoor and indoor courts. The Wearing surface is the same non-fading, high-performance coating as all the other NOVACRYLIC tennis court surfacing systems. Older players will appreciate the comfort of this surface. Shin splint injuries are reduced by the shock absorbing qualities and it provides sure footing, yet is not “sticky” and will not grab the tennis shoe. We are able to provide a lot of texture without being abrasive. Tennis balls and shoes will last longer on ULTRACUSHION than on other all-weather surfaces.

Nova Cushion
A “NOVA CUSHION” Surface uses an acrylic rubber filled coating. It is designed to be used with the Novacrylic tennis court system when extra resilience is desired. Novacushion is applied in multiple layers (the more layers, the greater shock absorbing quality). We recommend a minimum of 4 coats of NOVACUSHION. NOVACUSHION courts are not “soft”, but do absorb some of the impacts between the tennis shoe and the court surface. A soft surface would create a court that is very difficult to run on – similar to the extra energy required when running on a soft sandy beach.
After the application of NOVACUSHION is completed, 2 coats of COMBINATION SURFACE should be applied. This results in a uniform texture and appearance.
The NOVACUSHION system, like all of the Novacrylic tennis court systems, is colored all the way through from the top to the substratum. In the event of damage, such as gouges from racquets, vandalism, court equipment, etc., the damaged area will be the same color as the rest of the court. NOVACUSHION is supplied as a concentrate and must be diluted prior to use.
