Description

According to the Plexipave website there are four different types of Plexicushion. They are Prestige, Competition, Tournament and 2000.

The Plexicushion Systems consist of a Plexicushion substrate (which is a blend of latex, rubber, and plastic particles) and the 100% acrylic Plexipave Surface. The substrate forms a layer which absorbs body shock and reduces muscle fatigue. The Plexipave surface provides the system with a consistent and uniform bounce, long-lasting colour, and allows for the installers to meet speed of play specifications.
