Duracourt Application Procedures

Apply Duracourt Sport Court Coatings With Confidence

Follow the recommended preparation, masking, mixing and rolling procedures for a durable, professional-looking recreational court surface.

Before You Apply

Start With A Sound, Clean & Dry Surface

Complete repairs and cleaning before opening or mixing the coating. Proper preparation helps Duracourt bond evenly and perform as intended.

1

Repair Cracks & Pits

Remove peeling or flaking coatings. Fill cracks and pits with a suitable repair material for asphalt or concrete.

Allow patching materials to set overnight before continuing.

2

Sweep, Clean & Dry

Sweep away dirt and loose debris. Clean grease or oily areas and rinse thoroughly.

Etch slick concrete when required, then allow the surface to dry before coating.

Application Sequence

Mask, Mix, Then Apply

Work in manageable sections and follow the sequence below. Do not stretch the coating too thin.

Step One

Mask Boundary Lines

Mask boundary lines with 2-inch masking tape before applying the colored court coating.

Careful masking speeds application and reduces the need to trim large areas with brushes.

Step Two

Thin & Stir Thoroughly

For easier application, thin Duracourt approximately 10% with clean water.

Stir thoroughly until the coating is uniform before pouring it onto the prepared court.

Step Three

Pour & Roll

Pour approximately one-half gallon onto the surface at a time and spread liberally.

Use an 18-inch roller cover with a 1/2-inch nap and a 4–5-foot extension handle. Coat the inbounds area first, followed by the out-of-bounds area.

Complete The Court

Remove Tape & Finish Lines

After coating the inbounds and out-of-bounds areas, remove the masking tape and apply or trim the court lines with White Duracourt.

Drying & Recoating

Allow The Finish To Dry

  • Set to touch in approximately 30 minutes.
  • Recoat after 4 hours when temperatures are above 80°F.
  • Allow overnight drying when temperatures are below 80°F.
  • Allow 24 hours before heavy traffic or play.

Material Needs

Use approximately 125 square feet per gallon for planning, then account for porosity, court lines and all out-of-bounds areas.

Spread Rate

100–125 sq. ft. per gallon, depending on surface porosity. Use 125 sq. ft. per gallon for initial estimates.

Tennis Courts

Plan for approximately 20–25 gallons for the inbounds area and 35–40 gallons for the out-of-bounds area.

Pickleball Courts

A 20-foot × 44-foot inbounds area typically requires approximately 8–9 gallons of coating.

Safety & Handling Reminder

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, avoid contact with skin and eyes, keep containers closed when not in use, and review the current product label and Safety Data Sheet before application.
