Inside the Apex court tile
A tour of the tile every Outdoor Sport Courts court is built from — playing surface, cushioning, drainage, interlock and anchoring, explained part by part.
Every court we sell — from a driveway shoot-around to a full-size court — is built from the same precision-moulded interlocking tile. It measures 304.8 mm × 304.8 mm (exactly one square foot), so every court is whole tiles with no cutting. Here's what's going on inside it.
The playing surface
The top is an anti-slip textured surface engineered for sport: confident grip for stops, starts and steering — even in the wet. The surface is suspended with lateral forgiveness built into the joints, which takes the edge off quick direction changes compared to playing on raw concrete.
Built-in cushioning
Under the surface sit silicon cushions that absorb impact while keeping the ball response true — 93% ball rebound, with noticeably less load on knees and joints than concrete. It's the difference between a surface you play on and a surface you can play on for hours.
The open, free-draining base
The tile stands on an elevated lattice that lets water run straight through to the slab below. No puddles, no sweeping water off the court — it's playable again minutes after rain. More in Rain, sun & drainage.
Interlock & anchoring
Tiles snap together by hand — no glue, no setting time. Bevelled edge and corner ramps clip around the perimeter for a finished, trip-free border. And a hidden centre cap on every tile reveals an anchor point: the included anchors lock the whole court down, so it can't shift sideways and can't be lifted.
